I can't see how somebody would compare him to fuckin' Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears.Their Albums are considered: PopMike's Albums could be considered: R&B, Pop, Rock & every thang in between thoseTheir production ain't nuthin' compared to Quincy.Record sales ain't even close.Michael's shit is timeless, I highly doubt ya'll can say that about 'Oops I did it again'.Talent wise...ya'll be trippin'. They CAN'T even put a FINGER TIP to Michael's ability on stage! The greatest entertainer that ever lived? Hellz yes!!Come on, dude's one of the biggests selling artist of all time.Word???

Have been bumping PYT(my choice for best track on the record) non stop lately.-TWell to be fair, it wasn't 40 million people. A lot of people bought the album at least twice, many three times. This was the Reagan years so the US and US affiliates had extreme amounts of disposable income. The audio cassette, walkman, and cassette deck in cars were getting very popular and the CD was just around the corner. So while the number 1 format was still the LP most people still wanted the album for portable use. Throw in the fact that the LP only cost like 3 or 4 dollars and you have a hit. I mean look at all the other albums from that era. Everyone was going diamond or eventually went diamond. Reagan's 80s was a big time for music sales.The only difference between Thriller and ...Baby One More Time or Backstreet's Back is that MJ wrote some of the songs himself. It was a corperate album that took sounds that were being innovated by acts like Queen and Rick James and glossed those sounds up a bit while adding big bugdets for videos. Is it a terrible album? No, but Phantom Menace isn't a terrible movie either, yet the just shy of a billion dollars in revenue doesn't make it a great film.I picked Beat It. I like the riff, and love the VH solo.Well, I've taken the point into consideration, howvwer the difference between this album and the Backstrret boys or whoever, is that this music is timeless.Glossy? Hell Yeah!Radio friendly? Ofcourse!Listening to it 20+ years after it's released, and it's still as fresh as when I was was 4 and copped the record for the 1st time. I don't think many can say that about NSync or Backstreet. I doubt any Backstreet album would be in the "classic" catagory.Back to the topic... my 2 faves are PYT, Billie Jean, and on the re-issue, they put a new song on Carousel, propduced by Temperton, BEAUTIFUL song, download it you can, I'll try to uploadit. It was a 1982 - 1983 master that wasn't released until the reissue. Thriller is my nu,mber one 1 record, follwed very closley by Off The Wall
