i dont think anyone seriously thinks that oasis are better then jacko... although they might prefer them on a personal level... like me...i prefer oasis, but i wouldnt be as daft as to think their impact on the music world (as opposed to a corner of the uk) is bigger then jackos..
so mr hero, galloping on his crusaic white steed to the defense of your god... id suggest you actually read the thread first before going to the trouble of composing a totally un necessary response, because if you truely believe that jacko has had more impact on the music world then elvis or the beatles then you are madly deluded.

'Elvis was bigger than Michael Jackson'. No fact included.
Could have just said that, left out the petty remarks and not waste time replying to things I didn't say. Never mentioned the Beatles in this thread. I respect them. Never called Michael Jackson a God.
Don't know what a 'believer' is. Meant as a self satisfying insult I guess.
Don't care.
Michael jackson is the most famous and iconic popular artist ever.
Easy to agree with, an accepted truth. Refuse to acknowledge it doesn't change anything does it you old fart.
His voice, videos, songs, dances and outfits are the most recognised ever in popular music. Fact.
Cleary he was more talented than Elvis and had a better musical output throught his careear.
He has of two of the greatest albums ever made and the biggest selling album by a long way.
I don't think I've ever seen an Elvis Album on best lists
Michael Jackson was bigger, badder and better than Elvis
Now unless you want to come at me with some facts instead of self satisfied opinions and assumptions lets end this here.
