Hip Hop and New Wave?
what about METAL!?!?! GRUNGE!?!?!? PUNK!?!?!?

Yeah, I forgot about metal. But grunge and Punk? Definately Bowie influenced, to some extent.

Metal? I would have to go with Blue Cheer and Iron Butterfly as the early progenitors. Oh, and Link Ray "Rumble" is probably the first heavy metal song.

I guess my point was that MJ was financially and statistically successful. But in my opinion, not that much of the trendsetter and almost god-like person these people are making him out to be.

So he had "morphing" in his "black or white" video. It's not like HE invented it. This man will go down in history, or should I say "HIStory" and the inventor of the moonwalk. Wow.

Ok, he was a great singer. So was Smoky and so was Marvin Gaye. Or Donny Hathaway, for that matter.
