His art wasn't the most important of all time but one of most influential for his era. Sounds ALOT like Kanye to me yo
MJ is like the other MJ.. all the other HOF legends simply don't compare so don't waste the comparison. And yes, Michael Jackson defies all logic

I wasn't comparing Lou and Mike. But Ok, as long as you're willing to admit that there's no logic to speak of in your statements. You act like MJ is objectively better than everyone and everything else.
I'm just saying, consider for a moment that maybe I feel about Lou Reed the way you feel about MJ. Your opinion on Michael Jackson is still just an opinion. You can't get all huffy about comparisons to MJ and give other people shit for reacting in a similar way to comparisons they feel are inaccurate about the artists they love most.
I feel like I've made it clear that I'm an MJ fan. So you can stop preaching to me about how great he was. I'm a bigger fan of Lou Reed, however, and because all of this is based on opinion, you have to either play by the rules you set or not expect anyone else to.
Anyway this is really dumb.
