To be fair the queen is FAR bigger than Michael Jackson. In 500 years no-one will know of Michael Jackson, but a good chance exists of people talking about QEII as a part of history, like we do about Victoria or Elizabeth I.
Music wise I would say that the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley *Sigh*, Frank Sinatra, Queen.
In all fields I would say that people like Charles Darwin, Sir Isaac Newton, Plato, Stephen Hawking, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Nelson, Watson and Crick, Niels Bohr, Marilyn Monroe, Henry VIII, William Shakespeare, Terry Pratchett, Charles dickens, etc... Are all far bigger figures in history than Jackson.
Mind you Jackson did have a huge impact on the world and he has left a legacy.
