I do, but I hardly hear them played much.
And yet I've heard his other albums to the point of overkill, and I don't even own them.

I remember Don't Stop Till You Get Enough getting a lot of radio play when I was younger. I could just be imagining that, but that was one of the first ways I heard of Michael Jackson. Though, it could be different based on where you live.

The only time I ever hear that song played is when they do a 'Hits of 1980' hour.
Otherwise it's all his later stuff.

Weird. I remember Don't Stop, and Thriller getting a lot of radio play a few years back. But of course, once his death became a factor, radio stations became filled with Michael Jackson tracks. However, I will say that I don't think the other two songs that Chula posted ever got radio play. Again, i'm just going by memory. I use to listen to the radio almost religiously as a kid, but some things are still fuzzy.

If someone says they like a song because it has a catchy beat or because the singer has a nice voice while that is an opinion, its not that opinionated imo. In other words, just because someone "likes the singers voice" doesn't mean they are a fan of the singer or they have an extreme interest in their music. IMO, a music enthusiast will be more passionate and have more information for their reasons for their opinion. They also go out there way to express their opinion. For example, one time a radio personality said something on the radio I did not like that was music related and I called the radio station to express distaste of it. I called for almost 45 minutes but the line was busy. |

Why just don't?
It may be partly an age thing and partly a country thing, but here in the USA during the late 70s and early 80s those singles from OTW were killing it here. They got huge everyday airplay on any number of popular stations as well as music TV shows.

I am enjoying your responses though, for once you do seem to be understanding the rules of debate, and it makes it so much easier to talk with you. |
