Don't twist what I'm saying.
Comparing Ian Watkins to Lou Reed and Michael Jackson is a joke. Lostprophets have never ever reached half the critical acclaim or praise that Michael Jackson and Lou Reed have.
Michael Jackson changed R&B, Pop, and essentially paved the path for all black artist on mainstream channels.
Lou Reed is praised for having one of the most influential bands of all time.
Brining up Ian Watkins was irrelevant.
Not irrelevant, you were using the opinions of people who were 'credible' because they'd won musical accolades, and I used Watkins as an example that you can't do that. He has several musical accolades and his personal opinions are awful.
If you want to talk about irrelevant posts, please read through your posts in this thread again.
Watkins does not have the accolades of a Michael Jackson. That's just ridiculous. Michael Jackson is credible because of his impact in various genres of music. Pop, rock, R&B, hip hop, soul, and funk music. MJ is credible because he responsible for one of the best albums of all time. He is credible because he was the first black artist to be played on MTV when MTV refused to play black artist on their channel.
Ian Watkins has done nothing to help move his culture of music. The comparison is "paper thin" like you say.
I don't think you understand what Porkchop is saying. He never once said that Ian Watkins was on the level as Michael Jackson. He merely tried to state that his opinion isn't the most important in the world just because he is talented.
