Battle of the Michaels: Before Thriller or After Thriller

[Drolefille]

Ok, I'm ready to get injured for this but...

I don't really care for Michael Jackson. I get all the stuff that he did that was groundbreaking for the music industry and for being a black man in the music industry, but.... I'm really eh about the music.

I mean, there are a few Jackson 5 songs I bounce along to (didn't even know they were Jackson 5 at first) and I know Triller, Billie Jean, etc. But... I don't "get" it.

There. I've said it and I can't take it back!

For me, he's been a constant in my life and his music has been the soundtrack to several life events. Granted, some of his songs and lyrics are like WTF? (I still don't know what chum-on means or where that shit came from), but he was a fun artist and made me excited about music.

I guess it's the same way people feel about Elvis or the Beatles (neither of which I particularly care for, but I "get it").

Maybe that's a better way of saying it, I "get" it intellectually but the music does nothing for me.

I'm just not much of a music person. Which is weird because I love to sing, but I've never really bought music, followed the industry, etc.
