Michael may not have changed the way we listen to music, but he changed the way music progressed. He made very good music, music that inspired the likes of Madonna, Usher, etc. That music transcended into different music which we all, at one point in our lives, have enjoyed.
I never said he molested a child? Where did I say that. He did sleep with children in his bed and he admitted to it, but said that nothing was going on. I believe him to a point, but that is still pretty damn weird.

And artists inspire other artists all the time, but in this case they take it too far like he is the holy grail of music. And I don't think that he has had the huge impact on the industry that you guys are talking about. I think it is a false sense of aspiration that you give the guy to make him seem greater than he is. Music has always moved forward and will continue to move forward. Its just some artists make a mark and you and you think they are greater than they actually are, but that is just my opinion.
