This time I believe him and this is why. Takes a lot of guts to come out and says this knowing full well he'll be executed by the piublic. Plus coming out and admitting you did wrong is not easy. But the guy should be ashamed cause like Axl S said it destroyed MJ's carreer and most importantly his life. If he is telling the truth this guy deserves to go to jail.

See those are all great records you named here. I won't argue with that cause well I can't. Can they all be named best records by Floyd or Zep? I don't think so. And it's a matter of opinion of course, but in Floyd's case for example, The Wall is so overrated in my opinion. To me the songs The Wall, Hey You and Comfortably numbed are great. But the rest of the album is average in my opinion. Matter of fact I can't remember the last time I listened to that album in it's entirety. Can't stand to listen to the whole damn thing. Now I ain't Floyd's biggest fan but I do like quite a few of their records. As for Zep. I'll give you Houses of the Holy and Graffiti. Again just a matter of opinion.
Speaking of this topic, Metallica and U2 should be mentioned as well. Metallica's early run up to the Black Album was fucking stellar. Everything after it has been either average or mediocre. U2 has been hit or miss but they've got some great stuff. Bob Dylan also has a lot of great albums. Stevie Wonder is another one who has a number of albums that I'd consider defendable as his best work.
Metallica! Yeah forgot about them. Yeah they have at least four maybe five albums that could be debatable as their best. U2? Bono will hate me for this but I'd say that The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are the only two defendable. That doesn't mean the rest of their albums suck. Just can't be mentioned as their best in my opinion. Bob Dylan I'll leave that to madagas to judge. I am not a big fan of Dylan so his records are not well known by me. Stevie Wonder. Awsome artist! Can't deny that but more than 3 records defendable as his best? I wouldn't think so. You have to think here that the debate is not how many good albums an artist or band has but how many albums can be considered as the absolute best from that artist or band.

Floyd? I ain't a heavy follower but Dark side is a pretty common mention as one of their best. Not sure if others would be mentioned. Maybe Wish you were here. As fas Zeppelin goes, maybe but the really common album mentioned as their best is Zeppelin 4. Could others be defendable? Maybe.

Axl's views on other artists leaves me so indifferent. And the main reason for that is that he seems so unstable. To know who or what influences him can be interested but other than that I don't care. So Axl thought that Slash sold out by playing with MJ. Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe he was jealous? That's exactly what it looks like. Back on topic. This Ron interview is basically same old same old. And I ain't blaming him. Some of the questions the interviewers always ask that really bugs me is the "How Is Axl really" Are the things said true" What bad things that are said about Axl are true"? Do they really expect Ron to come out and say "Yeah Axl's a complete dick" Or "Yeah Axl's a real recluse and a pain to work with"? The guy ain't gonna say anything bad about Axl cause he knows he'll get fired. And it bugs me that the dumb interviewers can't see that.

3 icons? I got Farrah Fawcett and of course MJ who's the 3rd one?
#518 Re: The Sunset Strip » Favorite Michael Jackson album » 881 weeks ago
Bad as a whole is very good. Thriller and Off the Wall are very close though. It says a lot about the talent this guy had when asking what's your favorite album and 4 different ones are mentioned. Any other artists you get 2 different albums mentioned and that's it. It's generally a consensus on what one's artist or band is their best album. Jackson already has 4 different albums mentioned and they're all honrable and defendable picks. To me this speaks volumes on his talent.

I didn't have to sign up. Just went right on and voted.
Hmm. Weird. It wouldn't take my vote and told me to sign in or sign up. Anyways Neemo's a good guy so I did it. To think there's still a nice guy hiding in me.
