    Happy Birthday to Michael Jackson. Despite the last 20 years of a personal, downward spiral, your songs changed pop music dramatically.

    No doubt, tho it peaked about half his lifetime ago. Has he finished going bankrupt yet?

    I don't know. I didn't even read the whole article. I got sidetracked on youtube looking for some of his better, old songs.

    I grew up with Michael. He was all that. Too bad he became what he became. But goddamn, that guy could bring it.

    1) Rock With You


    2) Thriller (well-made video)


    3) Billy Jean


    4) Bad


    5) Smooth Criminal


    It's hard to come up with a top 5 because "Man in the Mirror" is up there. But Rock With You is his best song by a mile. His smile is genuine. He's happy here. You can't fake that kind of smile and body language.

    As much influence as Elvis? The Beatles?

    I'm just glad you didn't post that on my birthday thread.

    I'll add "Dirty Diana" and "Beat It" to Xan's list to replace "Bad" and "Thriller."

    I don't know if I'd go that far, but its contributions to pop music can't be denied.

    Even if it is a freak.
