Micheal Jackson is very talented and thriller is a great album. He has influenced rock and music since the Jackson 5 in my opinion. Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all times. His contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. He's called the "king of pop" for a reason.

I don't have a problem with hair metal. In fact I actually like a lot of it, but it's not something I woul listen to a lot. I would say my favorite band of that genre would be Def Lepard. My mom really likes them and I guess I like them because I've listened to them when I was younger. I can see how people would hate hair metal because of the cheesy music, but I don't think the point of it was to have great meaningful lyrics. It was to rock hard and party hard type of deal. The 80's was a very weird time for rock and music in general, but I feel like its not all bad.

I'm not a fan of Disco. I don't listen to it on my free time, but it's not something to hate necessarily. The whole point of Disco wasn't to make the best lyrics or the best music It was something to get away from it all. When i hear disco i have an erg to snap my fingers and dance. Its so catchy and fun and makes you smile. I also think the Sugarhill Gang is very interesting. They where essentially the start of rap. The song rappers delight was funny because they were all dressed up in Disco Attire but they were dancing to rap.

What weve been listening to as far as 70's punk and rock, my favorite bands have been the Police and the Clash. The Clash is one of those bands that you heard so much of them that you love them. As a kid I loved to listen to 70's and 80's rock, and the Clash is one of the good ones. The Police are also very talented. They write very good music but i would say that their lyrics are a little creepy at times they are amazing.

The police is a very interesting band. They were an English rock band formed in London in 1977. Most of their career, the band consisted of Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland.  The Police became globally popular in the late 1970's and are generally regarded as one of the first New wave groups to achieve mainstream success, playing a style of rock that was influenced by punk, reggae, and jazz. In my opinion the lyrics are good but sometimes they are a little creepy. For an example, in the song "I'll be watching you", is really creepy, but the song is really catchy. My favorite song by the police is Roxanne. I know a lot of people   say Roxanne when they hear the police, but its just a great song.

Punk rock was awesome and weird at the same time and was a turning point for Rock and Roll and music in general.  By the late 1976, bands such as the Ramones in new York city, and the Sex pistols and The Clash in london were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement. My dad loves to listen to late 70's and 80's music and when i was a kid i would listen to bands with a punk rockish feel and it kind of grew on me. We also listened to U2 and the Police which I still love today.
