If it's a game of "odd man out", then you'd have a hard time proving
that Lennon was an "addict", and an even harder time showing that his
own drug use might have contributed to his own death.

Who was the greatest out of those three? IMO probably Elvis, but Elvis
wasn't greater than the Beatles.

Lennon had conquered his heroin addiction and was on a comeback when he was
killed.

Which Elvis? The fat Elvis or the thin Elvis?

Michael Jackson was mediocre. He was talented but he was neither
inventive or creative. Sure, he could dance, but James Brown was
doing the same thing years before and a hundred times better. His
music was pure pop and just reflected the pop music of the time, such
as disco (thank god he never tried doing punk).

John Lennon as part of the Beatles, and Elvis were inventive and
creative. Elvis put together black music with country like no one else
before (he was a white guy doing black music way before Eminem), and
the Beatles with their inventive chord changes created a new kind of
pop music.

No comparison really.

Some people are saying MJ is the Mozart of our time. lol
Other people are saying he was a genius. Clearly they don't know what a
genius is.
There is nothing in his back catalogue that is comparable to Mozart or that
will leave a lasting mark on the history of mankind
like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Shakespeare, da Vinci or Michelangelo.
One can only assume that people making statements like this have never
listened to Mozart.

One thing that can be said for MJ is he was 'a true original'. partly
because of his oddness and also because he made entertainment a total
stage package .

Jacksons only talent was to surround himself by very talented people, producers
like Quincy Jones, he could make a hit out of someone farting in the bath.

They had a career from 1967 to 1975 before anyone (Mardin) suggested
singing falsetto on Nights on Broadway as the follow up to Jive Talkin.
They hadn't charted for three years before that in a different genre so
it was very similar to Michael Jackson

Michael was good . He had the greatestest selling Album of all time.
He made dancing like a robot very popular .
He danced to the beat like his body was the drum and each tone was a
movement of it's own.
Elvis was very good using his dance with his voice to express his
songs passion.
John Lennon had little dance to note and his song imagine seems like a
wine from a little boy not wanting to go to church with his rich
parents.

How true. For jejune idealism it's on a par with Paul's syrupy Ebony and

for all his half-baked idealism. They were great when they did
excellent message-free music with a whole new sound.

Learn to read. I never said they were examples of the best of the
Beatles. I merely used them as examples of Beatles songs that were
better than anything they did as solo artists. If you want examples of
the 'best of the Beatles' here's some:

'A Day in the Life'

'She's leaving home'

'Norwegian wood'

'Eleanor Rigby'

Famous in their time, but not much different to thousands of other songs
and singers.
And you would think the compination of Jaclson and McCartney would
produce a superlative result.

I rest my case about you knowing nothing about music
I was looking for that quote - I thought it was by Clive James but can't
be sure and can't find it now - about how Fred Astaire was at his best
before he became an artist and remembered he was a hoofer, when I came
on this by Astaire himself:
"But I do nothing that I don't like, such as "inventing" up to the arty
or "down" to the corny. I happen to relish a certain type of corn. What
I think is the really dangerous approach is the "let's be artistic"
attitude. I know that artistry just happens. "

This may or may not be what bubba ray's getting at. It certainly
underpins I feel about the Beatles' music and why I think their plain
old GREAT!!! music got a bit shaky when the artistic egos bloomed.
Ringo never had much originality, OTOH he avoided getting notions above

Michael was good . He had the greatestest selling Album of all time.
He made dancing like a robot very popular .
He danced to the beat like his body was the drum and each tone was a
movement of it's own.
What a good image.

Elvis was very good using his dance with his voice to express his
songs passion.
Ye-e-ess, I'd have said it was the rhythm that drove his movements,
singing with his whole body.

John Lennon had little dance to note and his song imagine seems like a
wine from a little boy not wanting to go to church with his rich
parents.
Here's someone else who thinks 'Imagine' is one of the most overrated

How true. For jejune idealism it's on a par with Paul's syrupy Ebony and
Ivory. John Lennon didn't do "deep" half as well as he thought he did
for all his half-baked idealism.  They were great when they did
excellent message-free music with a whole new sound.
Nothing any of the Beatles did after they split came even close to
songs like 'Help' or 'Hard Day's Night'.
Help and Hard Days Night are your examples of the best of the Beatles?
I rest my case about you knowing nothing about music
I was looking for that quote - I thought it was by Clive James but can't
be sure and can't find it now - about how Fred Astaire was at his best
before he became an artist and remembered he was a hoofer, when I came
"But I do nothing that I don't like, such as "inventing" up to the arty
or "down" to the corny. I happen to relish a certain type of corn. What
I think is the really dangerous approach is the "let's be artistic"
attitude. I know that artistry just happens. "
This may or may not be what bubba ray's getting at.  It certainly
underpins I feel about the Beatles' music and why I think their plain
old GREAT!!! music got a bit shaky when the artistic egos bloomed.
Ringo never had much originality, OTOH he avoided getting notions above
his ability.  George, I think, best managed to introduce his evolving
ideas into music that succeeded as music.  Paul  always teetered on the
cusp of mawkishness. and John believed sincerely that his ideas were
deep enough already without further examination, and he wasn't short of
fans who assured him this was true.
I agree with that assessment, and it also helps explain why neither
Lennon or McCartney could write anything as good as what they wrote
together. Paul once explained it this way - he was writing an upbeat
song called 'Getting better all the time' which appears on their Sgt
Pepper album. John added the line 'Couldn't get much worse' which
changed the whole vibe of the song and saved it from the depths of
mawkishness.

What I disagree with is people calling Michael Jackson an artist. Was
he talented? Yes. Did he work hard and deserve the success he got?
Yes. Was he a phenomenon? Yes. But he didn't create anything new like
the Beatles or Elvis did. In fact he wasn't in a metaphysical sense
even a person. He was Michael Jackson, Inc. He was a business. And not
that there's anything wrong with that. There's been plenty of musical
acts who were/are pure commercial - Wham, Robbie Williams, any boy
band, etc. But let's not call their work art.

The Beatles didn't create anything new, they would be the first to admit
what they used from Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis Lonnie
Donegan etc. Elvis wasn't even a song writer.
Jackson had the advantage of a new generation of session players who
took the Berry Gordy Corporation Motown he grew up with and added the LA
melting pot, guys that played with George Benson and Boz Scaggs and
Steely Dan, Brothers Johnson, Earth Wind and Fire. and stuck in some
bossa and latin syncopation and fusion.
Guys like Rod Temperton a white guy from Cleethorpes wrote the huge
hooks in the big hits. He was from Heatwave, Boogie Nights, remember
them ? Its disposable throwaway pop off the production line like Hot
Chocolate and Bony M.
Jackson wrote one son on Off the Wall and 3 1/2 on Thriller and they
were mostly slap bass riffs.
Who knows why stuff takes off like this ? But you are right, its not art.

The Beatles owed a big debt to guys like Buddy Holly, Little Richard
etc. But you'd be hard pressed to find a band that was 100% original.
What the Beatles did was manage to fuse all their influences together
to create a new original sound. Other bands I would put in the
'original sound' category would be The Velvet Underground, The New
York Dolls (although you could argue that they were a mutated version
of the Rolling Stones), The Ramones, Nirvana and Sonic Youth.

Stone the crows, CK, you must be on great meds now. This is the second
excellent post I've read from you in 2 days!

Normally I put you straight into my kill-file whenever it's fallen over

John Lennon['s] song imagine seems like a
wine from a little boy not wanting to go to church with his rich
parents.
Spoken like a true religionist trying to pooh-pooh the ultimate humanist
anthem.

Your afterlife had better be worth it, given how much fun you're not having
here.

Michael Jackson was mediocre.
I guess that means there's hope for you yet.

He was talented but he was neither inventive or creative.
Huh? It was infact his inventive and creative work in the early 80's that
made his career take off after being just another child star.

Sure, he could dance, but James Brown was doing the same thing years
before and a hundred times better.
Although legendary, he did not transcend as many boundaries as Whacko did.
James Brown never changed his appearance to that of a white man, he was far to
threatening to white people, he represented the black man who was going to take
away their daughters and rape them under the influence of his music, which was
why it wasn't heard b the majority of white people, it was only really heard on
black stations and on black records.
Jackson, who was deeply ashamed of being a black man, had his nose changed, his
hair straightened and his lips reduced to look more like a non threatening white
man.

John LEnnon was a fucking hippy that was heading down the same road as
that dickhead Cat Stevens or whatever the fuck that clown calls himself
now. His music sucked arse. Hate the Beatles - they were shit anyway.
Just played on their sex appeal to yanks who liked pommy accents. Listen
to their guitar work...sloppy nasty crap.

Elvis was impressive - not my type of music but his influence can't be
denied. Brought black music to the masses, and did it even better than
the blacks. Died on the shitter like a man should.

Michael Jackson - hard to place. Awesome dancer, very popular and moved
a shit load of records. Had an interesting mix of funk and pop music,
even my 70 year old parents found some of his sounds catchy. Say what
you like, but some of his music wasn't bad.

I'd give it to Elvis though. Jackson is certainly right up there.

The insane gloved one wasn't just broke, wacko owed millions and spent most
of his later years in pain.
He owed that much money that he danced round with his hand on his crown
jewels to try to prevent them from being taken, and you called that awesome

Every other top singer was worth millions while alive. Jackson on the other
hand owed millions, and now his so called fans put the boot in by spending
millions on his records and videos now that he's dead and no longer needing
the millions to pay back what he owes.

You can bet that Jackson helped more doctors to get rich from him than Elvis
ever did.

Did Jackson simply die or was he helped along by people knowing he would
bring in many more millions dead than he ever would alive?

I don't think they can be compared
because Michael is a singer AND dancer
he understood how and what type of music and rythms move the body
undoubtedly he is one of the best creators of dance music
he knew how a dancer feels the music and what the sensations are
you too could dance like this.....if you could FEEL the music

When Elvis moved his pelvis you KNEW he knew what a pelvis is about, and
it's not just to hang legs off. When Michael Jackson grabbed his crotch
it was like either "I weed in my panties, Mama" or those beauty contest
kiddies doing bump and grind routines that they have been taught by
adults who do know what it's about and think it's cute when small
children dressed as hookers do it. He didn't convey that he had a clue
what he was grabbing except it was close to where his legs joined his
torso. Elvis was sex on a stick. Jackson was sex on a holograph sticker.

Maybe a little less crotch grabbing and hair igniting but a mover none
the less.
When Elvis moved his pelvis you KNEW he knew what a pelvis is about, and
it's not just to hang legs off.  When Michael Jackson grabbed his crotch
it was like either "I weed in my panties, Mama" or those beauty contest
kiddies doing bump and grind routines that they have been taught by
adults who do know what it's about and think it's cute when small
children dressed as hookers do it.  He didn't convey that he had a clue
what he was grabbing except it was close to where his legs joined his
torso.  Elvis was sex on a stick.  Jackson was sex on a holograph sticker.
A L P

how we meld and merge with rythms

Ok, if you want to be completely anal about it he wrote some of his
own music. But he wasn't a songwriter in the sense that Lennon/
McCartney were.

Sheesh, you must have been in love with him to be this defensive.

Its well known that Motown performers were groomed and mentored from an
early age, that the music came from expert songwriters arrangers and
producers, and the dancing came from choreographers like Cosey and
Casper at Soul Train. Its a formula. The one that worked well in 1983.
The one that the same choreographers danced with him over the next ten
years or so until he burnt out on excess and weirdness and hangers on
leeching off him

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off_the_Wall_(album)

For 'Thriller' he wrote 4 out of 9 songs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(album)

For 'Bad' he wrote 8 out of the 10 songs

Nope, I pretty much meant what I wrote. And for the record I also
stand by my previous statements about MJ. Taken as a whole, it wasn't
his music but that of Michael Jackson, Inc.

For starters, he wrote most of the best songs on his Thriller album, and
