Anyway, this list seems a bit random. I think they just throw up some names in a meeting one afternoon and order them based on however they're feeling that moment. [Edited 2/18/09 6:02am] I wasn't going to say it.....  It has nothing to do with race, it has everything to do with being a lucky dumbass who passed his classes, became a TEACHER but don't know shit about music. [Edited 2/18/09 16:02pm] | |

Several of those people on that list wouldn't exist if not For Little Richard...I'd put him at 1, based on the other choices. | |

People have been lying to me!  "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

There are just TOO many musicians pre-1990s who were influential to popular culture. Naming just 10 or 25 is just plain ridiculous. | |

Really? I mean, yeah, I can't think of anyone who doesn't love him or at least respect him, but is he really that influential? I mean, unless you live on an island, you don't really hear all that much raggae. (And if you've heard most of what they pass off as "raggae" when you DO live on an island, you'd be glad.)  I can't stand any of Bob Marley's songs.Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

Marrk said: midnightmover said: I saw that program and the ipod wasn't the girl's. It was his (the British presenter's). He just decided to share it with her since she was standing next to him. MJ's influence by the way is largely an embarrassing one. He led to flashy, kiddie artists like Chris Brown, Usher and Timberfake (although Timberfake has now moved on to copying Prince). That's the kind of "influence" we could do without. You're wrong, i think. It was hers, i'm sure. i'll watch it again to confirm. that's partly why he was astounded. . . [Edited 2/18/09 8:45am] Think again. He said he was tired and was using the ipod to keep alert. He never said the ipod belonged to the girl. I don't think they even had electricity in that village, so Lord knows how they would have used an ipod. And that "astounded" thing is a little off-base too. He was just saying how incredibly surreal it was to be witnessing this ancient ceremony on the one hand and to secretly have MJ blasting in his ear on the other. Bruce Parry is "astounded" in every moment of every one of his programs. It wouldn't be much of a program if he was blase about it all.
BTW, I'm not disputing MJ's worldwide popularity because that's self evident, but you misinterpreted what you saw in that program. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

[Edited 2/18/09 16:02pm] Timmy, you never think anything's about race. You're like the mirror opposite of those folks who think everything is racial. You're both extremists, but in different ways. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

PANDURITO said: LondonStyle said: Madonna started with her mix of pure R&B/Pop so much so they did not play her on the radio in the UK because they though she was a Black Woman ...
  Ironically, Madonna once said that she grew up, wishing she was black on the Arsenio Hall show in the early 90's. | |

motownlover said: bob marley is very influential for reggae music?
he put that genre on the map basicly, i mean without marley no grammys for best reggae , just ask random people , say reggae they will say bob marley. as for the rest MJ is very influential but brown should be above him because he influenced hip hop, he influenced Mj and prince, if you want to put hip hop people on such list , dont put puffy and jay z above others  just because James brown influenced Michael does not mean he should be higher Michael has influenced more people than james brown |

LondonStyle said: trueiopian said: WTF! Janet is the one that paved the way for these so called divas.. She is one of the first to incorporate R&B in Pop along side her brother.She deserves to be in the top 10 of that list. Look I like Janet ...but sorry to say it but Madonna did it first... Madonna - Holiday (unreleased video) http://www.youtube.com/wa...b18uagkEi4 This is one of only a few things she can take credit for but the whole "diva" think started with her mix of pure R&B/Pop so much so they did not play her on the radio in the UK because they though she was a Black Woman ... this list is for black artist, and janets music is better |
