recently realized that my feelings about Michael Jackson closely mirror my feelings about Star Wars

lol no - childhood obsession that over time became grotesque to the point of intolerability, venerated idol transformed into omnipresent, loathsome caricature

to the point where I feel like I never want to see/hear anything MJ or Star Wars related for the rest of my life

His name is Michael Jackson and he's a person!

My ballot's cut to 20...just have to order them all now.
Five Michaels, five Janets, and one with them together. The rest are spread among J5/Jacksons/Rebbie/Jermaine.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 17 February 2012 19:53 (twelve years ago) link
My ballot was 8.5 Michael, 8 Janet, 2 The Jacksons, 1 Rebbie and 0.5 Jermaine
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 17 February 2012 20:08 (twelve years ago) link
Should've tried harder to include more J5/Jacksons, but those two solo careers are untouchable.
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 17 February 2012 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
12 Michael, 6 Janet, 3 J5/Jacksons
― CANDY aka JUNK (some dude), Friday, 17 February 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
Couldn't help going mostly Michael on this one - even within his relatively small catalogue, there are just too many songs I love, and I'm always finding new ways to hear them. I'm sure growing up with this music had more than a little to do with that. And doing my best to ignore most of the later videos/media appearances and the increasing ugly details of his personal life that emerged certainly helped.
My ballot broke down 12.5 Michael, 4 Jacksons/J5, 3.5 Janet. Anybody who hasn't voted yet, plz consider:

Actually, listening to Janet's "Number Ones" right now and probably would have included more Janet songs had I actually reviewed things more before voting. "What Have You Done for Me Lately" another giant omission from my ballot. I'm guessing a few all-Janet ballots will right the balance, though. Would LOVE to have done a 40 song ballot for this one.

Hah Mick Jagger - "Looka me, looka me...look at me...look...at...me...(squeal)."

My #1, a Janet track, was met with some eyerolls and one "what the hell?" when I went over my ballot with my coworkers. I made sure they knew part of the ordering was strategic, but I had no idea putting ___________ at #1 would be so controversial.
