Michael Jackson

Forgive me, but in my opinion, he was one of the first to degrade music: he was the first to realize that by placing four random computer-generated sounds and creating from them a bare, essential, yet danceable melody, he could mess with the brains of numerous kids, making them believe they were facing the music of the future (when instead it was a fake musical avant-garde) and thus make a boatload of money!

Without him, music today might have been better!
