Just because i'm giving him credit for it doesn't mean I think it's a good thing.
Thriller started off a trend that made some of the most superficial music in history where as long as you had a good expensive video with MTV to back it up even the most talentless & blandest of bands could have a hit.
It was the worst thing that could ever happen to music , if you want to celebrate that & dazzle me with flashy sales figures go ahead.
