TAN Greatest: Invention. Currently experiencing technical issues

That’s what I’ve been saying. Apparently there’s some kind of paragraph in the TAN bye laws that forbids it.

I’ll post a list of progressive rock albums later (including prog metal) , hopefully we get some closer choices later.

Other’s can pick their genre’s.

Me too!
I’m actually crying at the moment due to that! :rofl:

We’d have to vote for which genres each group will fall into. There will surely be one that gets it’s own genre, girlie pippy bop or something like Rush!

Canadian and you know what Canadians are like, know it alls or know nothings which makes things really difficult! :crazy_face:

And our lot didn’t pick thriller

Okay we do it this way , each picks 5 albums with YouTube links and people vote on those albums to see which one they like most

I find it really hard to separate the art from artist in Jackson’s case, haven’t really been able to enjoy his stuff for years now.

Or, even better, finish this tournament first.

He was crap after the Jackson 5 as far as I am concerned.

We are doing that, with two albums.

Everyone wants more?

Well… “Take it easy” :wink:, it is what it is.

Erm, in their day, they absolutely ripped it up. Brilliant band and albums that still stand up today. The Clash? I guess you had to be there, I wasn’t.

As you should be.

Well, we’re all entitled to an opinion. I happen to think Jackson’s one of the best and most influential musician in history.

Weird bastard no question but great artists do tend to be verging on insane. As for the accusations, they’ll always remain that.

You don’t think that he was a paedophile?

The FBI investigated Jackson on two seperate occasions for a total of 4 years and never found any evidence.

Macauley Culkin has always said nothing happened to him or as far as he knows to others.

The guy who did say he did something didn’t say anything until after he grew up and applied to be a dancer on one of Jackson’s tours but was unsuccessful. It was only after this (and i think after he died) that he decided to come forward with allegations.

Make of all that what you will. For me it isn’t enough to declare him guilty.

The FBI investigations were dropped to save the Reagan White House’s blushes after honouring him.

Macauley Culkin wasn’t one of his accusers.

Jordy Chandler was ;

1. There is no dispute that, at age 34, Michael Jackson slept more than 30 nights in a row in the same bed with 13-year-old Jordie Chandler at the boy’s house with Chandler’s mother present. He also slept in the same bed with Jordie Chandler at Chandler’s father’s house. The parents were divorced.

2. So far, five boys Michael Jackson shared beds with have accused him of abuse: Jordie Chandler, Jason Francia, Gavin Arvizo, Wade Robson, and Jimmy Safechuck. Jackson had the same nickname for Chandler and Arvizo: “Rubba.” He called Robson “Little One” and Safechuck “Applehead.”

3. Jackson paid $25 million to settle the Chandlers’ lawsuit, with $18 million going to Jordie, $2.5 million to each of the parents, and the rest to lawyers. Jackson said he paid that sum to avoid something “long and drawn out.” Francia also received $2.4 million from Jackson.

4. Michael Jackson suffered from the skin discoloration disease vitiligo. Jordie Chandler drew a picture of the markings on the underside of Jackson’s penis. His drawings were sealed in an envelope. A few months later, investigators photographed Jackson’s genitalia. The photographs matched Chandler’s drawings.

5. The hallway leading to Jackson’s bedroom was a serious security zone covered by video and wired for sound so that the steps of anyone approaching would make ding-dong sounds.

6. Jackson had an extensive collection of adult erotic material he kept in a suitcase next to his bed, including S&M bondage photos and a study of naked boys. Forensic experts with experience in the Secret Service found the fingerprints of boys alongside Jackson’s on the same pages. Jackson also had bondage sculptures of women with ball gags in their mouths on his desk, in full view of the boys who slept there.

7. According to the Neverland staff interviewed by the Santa Barbara authorities, no one ever saw or knew of a woman spending the night with Michael Jackson, including his two spouses, Debbie Rowe or Lisa Marie Presley. Rowe, the mother of two of Jackson’s children, made it clear to the Santa Barbara authorities that she never had sex with Jackson.

8. The parents of boys Jackson shared beds with were courted assiduously and given myriad expensive gifts. Wade Robson’s mother testified in the 2005 trial that she funneled wages through Jackson’s company and was given a permanent resident visa. Jimmy Safechuck’s parents got a house. Jordie Chandler’s mother got a diamond bracelet.

9. Two of the fathers of those who have accused Jackson, Jordie Chandler and Wade Robson, committed suicide. Both were estranged from their sons at the time.

10. In a 2002 documentary, Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson told Martin Bashir there was nothing wrong with sharing his bed with boys.

Jackson was a junky and a paedophile. Why anyone still seeks to defend him because they used to like his music is beyond me.
