Oh I forgot to say that music-wise, I prefer Michael Jackson, particularly the stuff masterminded by Quincy Jones or Paul McCartney.

 

Masterminded by Macca? What would that be? Say, Say, Say and The Girl Is Mine were their only collaborations (and are two of the most terrible MJ songs imo). Quincy Jones was the producer of the best of MJ's solo stuff.

@thread question: Elvis by a mile, but I could name at least 100 other musicians/bands that I prefer over MJ and Elvis any day.

 

I absolutely love some songs by The Jackson 5/The Jacksons though, especially ABC and I Want You Back.

The McCartney stuff is a distant 2nd, yes.  But I still think it's better than anything MJ's done in the last 20 years.

I'm not really into Elvis or MJ, this was more of a vote for Quincy Jones.

I think they were 2 of the best celebrities, but far from 2 of the best musicians or artists.
