[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Actually, he did change the face of music- before Billy Jean MYV played no black artists- MJ's record company threatened to pull all their artists off MTV if they did not play it. Thriller became impossibly huge as a result- it went Platinum over 50 times, making it one of, if not the largest selling album of all time. MTV became the thing to watch for a generation- just to see videos so well made as Jackson's. No jackson- no giant success for MTV. Various other artists had to scramble to make music videos and music with more of a dance beat and videos themselves had to be more cinematic and high-production affairs. And then there's the immense cultural influence he had- kids wearing that red leather jacket, urban dancing getting into the mainstream, a better blend of R&B and rock came to pop music. At the top of his carrer, he was bigger than the Baetles. Really, he changed [i]everything[/i]. It's not an excuse for the weirdness that followed but give the creepy manaquin his due. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
