Michael Jackson apparently used to listen to fusion and owned an ISOTOPE album.This was back in the seventies of course.It was all down hill from there. 
I do have some appreciation and respect for Stevie Wonder's music,can't say the same for Michael regardless of how talented he was.

I will agree with you that MJ had more influence that Eminem ever will.

Somehow I had a feeling there was going to be a "Is Michael Jackson prog?" thread.  My answer is simply no, not at all. He was not 'prog' in any way. He was a pop artist.

hahahhah. Yeah...same with Willie Nelson.
to stay in the spirit of the thread... and forgetting prog completely. It is a NITCH genre of music. The fact that neither have anything to do with prog in NO way diminishes their greatness .. or influence on music at all. Prog is a boil on the ass of music at large. A pleasant one... but insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

One of the first times that I saw Rush live, near the end of the show they played Wipeout and Alex Lifeson pretended he was riding a surfboard. Their comment was that this was for their critics who claim that they were too boring just standing in one place playing their music. So maybe that little "dance" was influenced by Michael Jackson's concert choreography; or at least it influenced the criticism of the boring just stand there rock bands.

Maybe (and this is a streatch) maybe prog influenced MJ, but certainly not the other way around.

I think his videos were a big influence on the presentation of music, not on the music itself. Music videos would not be what they are today without his influence.

To me, MJ's music was based on R&B, pop and rock. Even though these styles of music influenced Prog, I think it's a stretch to say that he personally influenced Prog. Many artists at the time were incorporating these styles into their music so why single out MJ? Just because he died?
I suooose that if OJ had a couple of Genesis or Pink Floyd CDs in his white Bronco we would be discussing him around here.

Michael Jackson was like Elvis Presley: The end product of a long development. Michael Jackson came from the funk, gospel, soul, pop and disco tradition. He merged all that into his music. Add Quincy Jones's production and you have Thriller, Bad, Off The Wall and all his other releases. The common thing about Michael Jackson is that his music originated from the cotton fields, the suburbs and the colored tradition. Which is excellent. Respect is due. Prog rock is a white middle class thing which originates from the high schools in England, Italy, USA and Canada. Prog rock is a nerdy thing, done by the social outcasts who were sitting alone in the corner when the rest of the class was dancing to the likes of Michael Jackson. Sex (=Michael Jackson) and prog rock has never mixed. Michael Jackson has had no influence on prog rock. That's my thesis as a no-sex nerd.
