Re: MTV Poll: Greatest Album Ever (Thriller Nominated & TV Specials)
This is a tough choice. The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths is amazing! All the songs on that album are gold. Plus, Morrissey is one gorgeous man. He gives MJ serious competition in a lot of areas now that I think about it. I can't decide.

Re: MTV Poll: Greatest Album Ever (Thriller Nominated & TV Specials)
I watched the show on TMF last night, with a count down of MTV's 100 Greatest albums, with Edith Bowman hosting the show. The guests were Pete Burns, Suggs (Madness), Huey (Fun Lovin Criminals) and some music executive.
Thriller was voted the No.1 Greatest Album of All Time by in this program by music exexutives. But I thought the guests in the show except for the music excecutive talked crap about the album. Pete Burns (a so called Michael Jackson fan) said Thriller was a bland album (Edith Bowman looked at him like he was mad !!!), and only the greatest in terms of sales. He said he was more intereted in Michael as a person and not interested in his music. Huey a Michael Jackson hater, said he likes Thriller because of Quincy Jones. That Thriller was a Quincy Jones album, with just Michael's name on the title ie Quincy's album in everything but name. He said Quincy put the album togther before Michael entered the studio. Huey is talking crap, Quincy may have brought in the songwriters for Thriller etc but Thriller is a Michael Jackson album. Michael hired Quincy Jones, and Quincy was producing for Michael Jackson and Epic. The songs that turned Thriller in to the biggest selling album of all time, were the first 3 released in 1983 (I know The Girl Is Mine was the first single, which was released in 1982)singles Billie Jean, Beat It and Wanna Be Startin Somethin. Which were all written and composed by Michael Jackson as well as co-produced. And it was Michael's idea to make music videos to promote Thriller, and his idea to make the Thriller video when Epic thought that after a year of since the release of Thriller there was no need to make a video to promote the album.
People like Huey need a kick in the face, talking crap with their mis-information. Michael is not a guest vocalist on the Thriller album, that is his album. And Michael isn't just considered a genius because of his singing and dancing. But also because of his songwriting and composing, with an amazing ability to write hit songs that are classics. And a song like Beat It which combined rock and dance (as Edith Bowman pointed out, saying 4yrs before Run DMC and Aerosmith), a sound people take for granted shows how much of an innovator Michael was. And excluding The Girl Is Mine, Michael's songs are the high points of the Thriller album.

Re: MTV Poll: Greatest Album Ever (Thriller Nominated & TV Specials)
Let me just say that I'm no music expert, I just know what I like.
That being said, IF Thriller were all about Quincy, then Quincy could and would have done the same thing for TEVIN CAMPBELL. Remember him? He was supposed to be the next Michael Jackson and it never happened, because it couldn't happen, with or without the help of Quincy Jones. Nothing against Quincy, but some of these folks crack me up, with their reaching.
Thanks for the update benscarr.

Re: MTV Poll: Greatest Album Ever (Thriller Nominated & TV Specials)
I guess Quincy Jones also wrote Billie Jean and other songs on Thriller. Some silly people think it's not cool to like Michael and they have to find an excuse so they could listen to him that's why they say stories like this.

Quincy may be a genius of a producer, but he's no Berry Gordy when it comes to launching talent with great songs. I remember Tevin Campbell, his biggest song was Round and Round. It wasn't a Quincy Jones song or even a song found by Quincy, but a song written, composed and produced by Prince. From Prince's album Graffiti Bridge.
Good point. I hate people like that, it's like people who might not like John Lennon and Paul McCartney but like a Beatles song or album and saying there producer George Martin put The Beatles songs together etc. Such absurd statements by the likes of Huey from a waste of space and forgotten group like the Fun Lovin Criminals, shows them up as totally ignorant with no respect for music. Give credit to artists where credit is due, and Michael derserves all the credit for Thriller that he gets, as it's a Michael Jackson album not a Quincy Jones album with Michael as a vocalist.

MTV Base did theirs today. I saw it just a while ago. Mainly hip hop and R n B albums, but Michael was number one. Panel were all in agreement with how influential he was, Craig David was one person I knew. Guy who was kind of tutting was DJ Semtex but Trevor Nelson wasn't having it. Said he has interviewed hundreds of artists and everyone cites him as an influence. From rock to indie to hip-hop.

Voted. It was hard, because they had Radiohead, Prince, and U2 on there too, but neither of the listed were their best albums. Thriller trumps all those albums.
