I'll throw Dylan into the mix as no-one else has.

first person i thought of when i saw this thread title, he's the hands down winner for me, elvis is a very very close second, and sinatra is nipping at his heels

 

[AdamTheGreatOneB]

Michael Jackson.

And not because he has just died.

 

[Whitebootman]

george formby, all round entertainer, world famous for what he did and still to this day the only person to win the isle of man t.t. and the grand national.

Winner here. And to think he was also a window cleaner.

 

[Nebbiolo]

Elvis.

I think that's about right. Amazing performer.

Nick cave is great, too. Very dark.

Also Donna Summer is pretty fantastic.

Actually, there are a lot when you think about it. And Michael Jackson isn't one of them.

He is in my opinion.

 

[Nebbiolo]

He is in my opinion.

Maybe if you're 12 or something.

 

[Whitebootman]

Sinatra, Elvis, Janice Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Can I have Jimi Hendrix as a solo artist?

Any one of these plus a few more, depends on the day and my mood.

Eh? A 30 year old is more likely to rate Jacko up there with the best than a 12 year old, they're more interested in MC Dizzy and DJ Twix

DJ Twix? Is that real?

Look mate, MJ was [Poor language removed]. He sang crap, childish songs. Even forgetting his very dodgy personal life, he offered nothing unique to the music world. It was all hype, smoke and mirrors. He was the soul version of KISS.

 

[Screech]

I hope not, I just said random words, seems commonplace

MJ was fantastic, ever heard of personal taste? And Soul? He was the King of Pop

You got rep for the Twix thingy.

MJ was a R+B, pop, soul act. But it's all just a label. He was still awful.

Most people that like him, actually aren't big music listeners. He was like U2, a band that people like because they might as well like someone.
