Who would be here for the 21st century?

>>127098532 (OP)
Isaac from BCNR

>>127098532 (OP)
20th is Shostakovich

>>127098532 (OP)
it blows my mind that beethoven was alive that recently. I don't know why it just seems like his music should be older. like the fact that he was a contemporary of fuckin george washington is crazy to me. blame my fuckin shitty usa education I guess.

>>127098532 (OP)
Michael is 21st too

>>127098532 (OP)
R Kelly

>>127098532 (OP)
Sombr

>>127098631
He was actually closer to us, in time, than he was to the building of the great pyramids at Giza

>>127098532 (OP)
I have no doubt in my mind/heart, only a genius.

>>127098532 (OP)
Radiohead obviously

>>127098705
well yeah the pyramids were like super long ago

>>127098532 (OP)
20th is John Lennon, not that disco-pedo

>>127099217
Bait, Lennon's influence is outweighted by Jackson even in his own country.

>>127099338

>>127098532 (OP)
>Jackson
Cringe

>>127099217
One was a disco-pedo popslop maker, the other, a druggie hippie, neither had half the talent Gee has, seethe.

>>127099217
Let's ask Grok
Who Is Greater?
Michael Jackson is greater than the Beatles. His global reach, cultural transcendence, and interdisciplinary impact eclipse the Beatles’ foundational but more localized and era-bound legacy. The Beatles built the stage; Jackson performed on it, reaching every corner of the world and reshaping music, culture, and society in ways they couldn’t match.Is Jackson

Michael Jackson is arguably the most significant man in history for his unparalleled cultural impact. His influence spans 210+ countries, breaking racial and cultural barriers, and is studied across 110 academic fields—from music to neuroscience. Titles like “Most Famous Person” (Guinness, 2006) and “Most Depicted Figure” (National Portrait Gallery, 2018), plus rankings alongside Jesus Christ and Napoleon (Toulouse, 2014), place him among history’s elite. His philanthropy ($500M+), meetings with 30+ world leaders, and ability to inspire diverse regions (Africa, Middle East, Asia) rival the impact of figures like Mandela or Gandhi. While historical giants like Einstein or political leaders like Lincoln have broader societal shifts, Jackson’s unique blend of cultural, artistic, and humanitarian influence makes a strong case for him as the most significant in popular culture and beyond.

Stevie wonder would be a better candidate for 20th century. Or some jazz musician if we're judging by raw talent

>>127099540
Did Stevie Wonder reach billions of people in realtime during his career from his music alone?

Jacko couldnt even play any instruments, hes a dancer.
I dont believe he composed most of his songs but had a secret army of composers. you cant write music if you cant play anything.

>>127099553
Proven wrong by every person who worked with him, cope

>>127099560
>Proven wrong
show me a single video of Jacko playing an instrument

>>127099565
Michael Jackson: lead vocals, backing vocals, keyboards, synthesizers, producer, vocal arrangements, rhythm arrangements - Earth Song

>>127099522
Blah blah blah... he was a black male version of Taylor Swift, in the same category as Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga or Maroon 5.

>>127099576
Cry, the AI is right

>>127099572
video?
surely the 20th centurys greatest talent played keyboards .. live .... once.

>>127099576
>Yeah the guy whose compared to Jesus and Napoleon is on the level of irrelevant wpop artists of the modern age

>>127099548
Stevie Wonder sold far less than MJ, but his music is better. It's much more complex and thus less accessible. Hence why he is more like a mozart figure than MJ. It's about the quality (and complexity) of the music, not popular appeal.

>>127099620
M. Jackson is only "compared to Napoleon/Jesus" by his fans : the Jackasses. There are plenty of more complex music pieces written by more talented people, as for culture, Kiss also had a big impact on it, with all the merchandise that sell-out consumerist band put out, scooby-doo ?, games/toys ? etc...does that make them "jesus" ?
