Made me chuckle though, so thanks for that.
Can you name any major stars who to this day is actually performing music that was influenced by Elvis or the Beatles? Not going to happen. The Beatles and Elvis were great artist but their talents did not spawn a new generation of artist that followed them.
Nor did they reinvent or raise the standard of what is expected of a artist in the way that MJ did. Can you name anyone who is currently a major influence in today's music scene because of Elvis or the Beatles?
No!
The generation before the baby boomers and segments of the Baby boomers remember Elvis & the Beatles and once that generation is gone there will be few people who will relate to that kind of music. Fact.

Re: Michael Jackson has died
Ending something with Fact doesn't make it true I'm afraid. The obvious answer would be Oasis for the Beatles. There's probably loads more but that's not my genre. Of course everyone is claiming Michael Jackson influenced their music, they want his fans to buy their crap too.

I know you’re a MJ fan and that’s great, but come on, Paul McCartney is one of the nicest, most level headed artists there is.
There are a whole bunch of artists that helped influence MJ.
Elvis (which I can not stand) The Beatles, James Brown, Steve Wonder etc etc I have been having a few words with a few tossers on here also. But you’re wrong about Paul McCartney.
