Versatility can sometimes matter, it really depends on the circumstances. You can get very versatile people who can do lots of things but are very average in all of them, and some who do a lot less but really excel in what they do. So it's hard to do broad generlisations on that. As for grunge, like anything that gets lots of hype, it will be very overrated at times.

i like Off The Wall and love Thriller, haven't heard the others nor I intend to, but his work with Jacksons after they left Motown is mostly good Stevie, i love Innervisions and like most of Songs in the Key of Life, but the other stuff during his "classic" period I don't really like much so, for me, Stevie only had a slight edge, and also because Stevie mostly used the technology of his time, his stuff tend to sound a bit dated, whereas Michael's classic stuff are mostly analogue Quote:
and i don't think STP were ever "grunge", they sound more like stoner-ish cock-rock |

I also find Stevie Wonder a bit patchy, Song in the Key of Life is the most consistent for me. And I'd say Thriller is easily Michael Jackson't best. Overall Stevie Wonder's creative period perhaps lasted a bit longer than Jackson's.

Günther is an extremely underrated poet. The way he describes love is just so... magnificant.

Jandek may have his cult-following, but I think that he deserves a brighter spotlight. If any incumbent folk player released Blue Corpse or Chair Beside the Window, then it would be described as innovative genius by the masses. But since Jandek self released it, the mainstream music reviewers who have a heard voice at places such as Rolling Stone and other critical music publishers consider it (or rather they fail to even do that much) as a self indulgent piece of garbage that is naught but moaning and twiddling the guitar.
