I know it is wrong, but that was the era when I started listening to
music, so it was years of me associating Stevie with those songs as
opposed to his better work. Same with Springsteen. I couldn't stand
his commercially successful songs from the 1980s, but his lesser known
stuff from earlier and more recently is actually quite good. And, back
to Jackson, I enjoyed "Smooth Criminal," which came later in his
career, but I prefer the "Alien Ant Farm" cover. It was, at its core,
a rock song, and Jackson may have been good at many things, but
rockin' wasn't one of them.
