Michael Jackson, not metal, but still awesome.  “Dirty Diana” is my jam, and it ROCKS.

I wasn’t around yet during the peak of MJ’s career, but I remember the release of the “Black or White” video when I was six years old.  (Copyright bullshit is preventing me from embedding it on here.)  My sister and I used to dance to it.  The face morphing part at the end (including a then hot, skinny Tyra Banks) was always my favorite.  HOW’D THEY DO THAT??  I also love “Leave Me Alone.”  And does anyone remember the Captain EO movie they had at Disney World?  I saw it early 90’s-ish.  It was in 3D and super scary :/ .

My man Mike, you were kinda screwed up for the past 15 years or so, but you were a true showman, and one of the most well-liked artists amongst fans of all genres.

I always liked you way more than Prince, too.  (Don’t send me hate mail.)
