The Gooner Forum

Anything by Michael Jackson.

The guy was a brilliant showman. I can understand why people would respond to his stage presence/charisma. But, seriously, his music was manufactured shit.

There is also the issue of his alleged sexual crimes against children. Personally, I think he was guilty as charged. And so did some of the jurors.

I always switch radio stations when a Jackson song comes on. Thankfully, I never hear music from Gary Glitter anymore.

Crash helmet on. And awaiting abuse from MJ fans.

I strongly believe that the less savoury elements of Gary Glitter's personality have prevented Rock n Roll Christmas from becoming the real Christmas classic that it merits.

I don't know if Michael Jackson did what was alleged but I fear he did.

As for his music, The Jacksons/Jackson 5 were a proper and at times gritty Funk band, played their own instruments and could groove with the best of them.


As a solo artist?

Off The Wall and Thriller were great albums.
A cleaner more poppy sound, but classics of their type.

Personally I don't believe Jackson did what he was accused of, I watched the court case and the evidence was a joke against him.
Off the wall is probably the best album ever made.

Great albums but the best ever - can't agree with that at all.

I'm with olgit on this one - Mick the kiddie fiddler was shite, his music was ubershite and the dirty fucker was guilty as sin.

Agreed

Not a fan of Michael Jackson's music by any means but I think he was innocent.

The trial by media of him was pretty sickening, most of it was based around the fact that he looked and talked a bit funny. When you look at the facts of the case it's pretty obvious that the family who accused him were just trying to extort money from him after he'd stopped supporting them. The mother behind the whole thing had form for coaching her sons to shoplift and then accusing the security guard of molesting them once they'd been caught. A proven lie. Her testimony was so garbled it supposedly had members of the jury laughing and the prosecution lawyer had to table objections to the things she said

He was clearly a very strange man, possibly to be expected after being in the music bubble since he was 8. His death showed that he hardly surrounded himself with the best people either but the kiddy-fiddler stuff should have been dropped the second the not-guilty verdict was read out and frankly a lot of people, especially the media, owed him an apology imo.

Levellers rip-off with even fewer tunes. Dreadful bunch of faux-yokel bastards.

Taylor Swift and Pitbull.

One's a sellout *word censored* and the other is Pitbull.

I keep hearing this but I was completely unaware that Taylor Swift made anything other than shite pop songs?

Love rock, metal, Ska, punk, alot of indie (but not all), alot of sixties stuff too. Love guitar-based music most.

DB10,If you like Ska have you listened to the Dualers? The singers a huge Gooner too,
