While I'm thinking about it, why isn't this in the poll section?

Even though I hate the sound of the Beatles, they were one of the most influential bands of the last century, so my vote goes to them. Not like Elvis didn't change a lot, too, The Beatles just almost reformed music business for years until now. MJ is trailing far behind, I like his music a lot more than both Elvis and The Beatles, but he's not as important.

Elvis and The Beatles both revolutionized the music industry in their own ways, but I think Michael Jackson perfected his own art to a level neither of them can compare to. He was an incredible stage performer, and probably one of the best pop singers of all time.

Micheal Jackson.
------------------------> Elvis.
The Beatles.

I really dislike the elvis music and for the most part hate it. Though I like some beatles every now and then. But for the most part I must go with Micheal Jacksons music being preferred.

I agree with you, Michael Jackson perfected what he did and paved the way for many others.

Michael's is far more entertaining, but Elvis will still be considered better because he wasn't as unstable as Jackson.

Jackson had a lot of rhinoplasty because his father called him Big nose as a kid, thus making him want to fix it.

Jackson never had a childhood, he was performing at the age of 5.

Jackson was psycologically and physically abused by his father, therefore he was considered "wacko"

Jackson had a skin disease which changed his pigmentation, he got rid of all the pigmentation on his skin so it wouldnt look weird.

Jacko is anything but Wacko, but damn I wish I thought that before he died.

What does being stable have to do with how good you are at something? Van Gogh is considered one of the best impressionist painters and he was mentally unstable.

Honestly, I don't see how anything you posted is valid argument as to why he wouldn't considered as good as The Beatles or Elvis. Also, calling him "Jacko" is pretty disrespectful.

I see it as Jackson>Beatles>Elvis

His nickname that was disrespectful was Wacko Jacko, in my last point I said Jacko is anything but Wacko, its a play on word....

Michael Jackson was good at what he did. The Beatles influenced millions and revolutionized modern music for what it is today, and they were also much, much more successful. Elvis.. I don't really know anything about Elvis. So for me it would be, in terms of importance,

Beatles > Michael Jackson > Elvis.

In terms of preference;

Beatles > Michael Jackson > Elvis
