Remember seeing the Black And White video on TOTP when I was about 7 and being blown away, Iād never hated music before but I hated that. Never understood why he was/is so revered musically. 1/5 and the 1 is for Dirty Diana. Always thought he was absolute shite.
Funkhouser has returned and brought the very maw of hell with him.
I was never a huge fan, although I do regard Billie Jean and Thriller as almost perfect pieces of music they stand mostly alone amongst the catalogue, Black or White is alright too I guess. Always found the rest overrated - Donāt Stop is one of the most annoying sounding things ever recorded and Man in the Mirror is just the most mawkish slab of cheese.
Putting on my most naive hat and saying āeven if he didnāt do what he is accused ofā, then he still had numerous weird creepy and innapropriate relationships with young boys which would have him rightly drummed out of any other profession and ostracised from society.
He can fuck off and die. Again.
2 for Billie Jean / Thriller
But of course itās a fucking 1.
Might seem like an unnecessary or āstrangeā choice of thread, and Iāve been trying to decide whether we should do this one since the start but I figured that any reassessment or comprehensive look at the big names in music history should include him, regardless of what the discussion points become or the nature of the thread. People really read too much into the name of these threads btw and try and analyse how it should affect their score. Thatās silly imo, these threads were nearly called āAre They Shitā, just vote with your first instinct.
