My fsve band of all time, and people think im nuts for that, they say how is it not TheBeatles The Stones, and im like, "I love those bands, but i didnt grow up on them" to me a favorite band or aritst i really need to experience it from day one while they are active, the Beatles broke up before i was born.

Yes agree on a-ha, Morten one of the best vocalists ever, and Minor Earth is a HUGE album for me too, and to think that was their "comeback" record after being apart for four years and not releasing a record for 7, it was a HUGE statement for a "synth" 80's band to make, to me thats when they became "artists"

In my top 10 favorite bands of all time wink
I prefer them to The Stones or Led Zeppelin (not because I think they are greater, I just relate more to their songs)


The peak of the majority of my favorite artists was before I was born. smile

----------------------------------

I can't properly participate in this thread as I don't understand (or care to understand) the concept of 'overrated' and 'underrated'

overrated album - considered the best by critics or is the most successful in the career of artist, but, in your opinion, this artist has better albums that are in the shade
underrated - album, which was destroyed by critics or was not a commercial success (or had a weak commercial success compared to other albums of this artist), though you think it's good enough, or simply the best album but in the shadow of overrated.

^ Funky, huh? cool

Here's my analysis on MJ:

Best album: Dangerous

Worst album: Michael

Most overrated album: Thriller

Most underrated album: Bad

Top 5 best songs: Human Nature, I Can't Help It, You Can't Win, Jam, Ain't No Sunshine

Top 5 worst songs: Doggin' Around, You've Really Got a Hold on Me (the 1984 version barf ), Farewell My Summer Love, Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Do-Da-Day, Nite Line

Best video: Ghosts

Worst video: Liberian Girl

Most creative 5 years: 1978-1983

Most lame 5 years: 1996-2001 (because he hardly put anything out between those years)

Edit: I would've said 1971-1975 in the lame years category but that's four years, not five years...lol

[Edited 12/24/12 12:33pm]

For some reason I'd expect you to like Farewell My Summer Love. I like that song.

"Most lame 5 years:1996-2001" - That doesn't count. He was being a daddy. lol

My MJ analysis:

Best album: Dangerous

Worst album: Michael (I'd almost forgotten about it if Timmy didn't mention it)

Most overrated album: Thriller

Most underrated album: Dangerous

Top 5 best songs: (Impossible to choose actually, but I'll try) I Can't Help It, Who Is It, She Drives Me Wild, Earth Song, Someone Put Your Hand Out

Top 5 worst songs: YANA, Black or White, You Are My Life, Hold My Hand, Burn This Disco Out

Best video: Ghosts

Worst video: Liberian Girl or Cry

Most creative 5 years: 1987-1992

Most lame 5 years: Probably anytime after 2000, but it's hard to say cause he had other issues going on in his life.

My Prince analysis:

Best album: (Again impossible to choose), Come, Old Friends For Sale

Worst album: The Truth (listened to it only once or twice, couldn't be bothered to hear it again)

Most overrated album: Sign of the Times or Purple Rain (I like them, but they are not my favourites though, yet his most famous ones, I guess)

Most underrated album: Old Friends for Sale

Top 5 best songs: (again impossible) 5 women, Damn U, Courting Time, U want Me (from the Las Vegas DVD), I hate you, We can funk. (I mostly love his live stuff though like 21 Nights album. Most of his songs sound the best when played live)

Top 5 worst songs: Adore, Kiss, Black Sweat, Life of the Party, I Wish You Heaven

Best video: The One

Worst video: Kiss

Most creative 5 years: Hard to say, I like his 90's work.

Most lame 5 years: He's never stopped working, so also impossible to say, but my least favourite albums are from 2000 and on.

"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really donĀ“t like the idea that he could have it all."
