"If it looks like a , and quacks like a , we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands." - Douglas Adams (English Writer) 1952-2001

The Rolling Stones were such wannabe black blues musicians, it hurts to listen to them.MJ didn't write many songs himself, he mostly bought songs. That is one reason I think he is really overrated.Children of Bodom has some Finnish members.

Where do you do your research, to come out with such rubbish? Fancy saying the Beatles weren't a fully international act and were limited. The STARTED the whole fucking British Invasion thing in 1964, dickhead. Every other group that came after had to measure up to their success, and at least 60% all all groups from England, Australia, the US post British Invasion quoted the Beatles as a major influence on them. And who was a direct inflence to them? Elvis. And who was another person that quoted the Beatles as an influence, albeit him being a black Motown artist? Michael Fucking Jackson. Why would he by the catalogue of all 252 Beatles tracks at the time from McCartney if he didn't see any value in them? And If you want to talk about limitations, look at Elvis. Did he tour outside of America? No. And you know why? Cos his manager was an illegal Dutch immigrant who would have been fucked the moment he left the States. The only time Elvis ever left the shores of the continental US was to do his service in Germany between 1958 and 1960. Any concerts he did were either for the army, or on US soil. So that proves how limited he was. The Beatles toured anywhere they could between 1960 and 1966, getting their start in Hamburg. They were more popular in Europe in the early 60s than ABBA were at their peak, and BTW, it was Australia who actually broke ABBA internationally in 1974.So your logic, reasoning AND research is fucked either way, cookie boy. And don't bother trying one of your pathetic comeback. because you've lost this one. The Beatles ripped off of Blues music.So did Elvis, so did Chuck Berry. They popularized it and brought it to the masses. As did the Stones.And as far as Michael Fucking Jackson, he is still (posthumously) only riding the success of 2 albums - Thriller and Bad. Everything eles was shite after them, and before them they never sold anywhere near the amount that those 2 did. While he could fill stadia with a capacity of 100,000 plus (the MCG for example), McCartney was still doing the same long after the Beatles split. @ Soiledarse: Oh, and who was knighted out of the 2? Does the term 'Sir' Paul McCartney ring any bells?

Uh no; Soiled Arse, not really. We are quite happy with Australia. But I can't for the life of me understand how you could compare Michael Jackson with Hitler. Hitler was a megalomaniac and narcissistic personality; certainly not an Aspie. I would believe MJ was an aspie far more readily. Besides, claiming Hitler as an aspie gives aspies a bad name and that's hardly anything they would want.
How do you know Hitler was an aspie? Can you provide irrefutable proof or is it simply your opinion? I agree with your comment that he and Michael Jackson had the gift of reaching large numbers of people. It is called charisma but doesn't mean that they necessarily had Asperger's.
Michael Jackson and Adolf Hitler were not on the spectrum. Hitler probably was a sociopath and had NPD as well. Michael Jackson had a lot of psychological issues stemming from his childhood.
