Not to belittle MJ's efforts, just saying.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's your age that has limited your experience and knowledge of him.
Every time you see a music video that isn't just a simple shot of someone singing at the camera, you're seeing his influence. Every time you see any kind of robotic dance move, you're seeing his influence. Every time you hear about an album having more than one #1 hit, you're seeing his influence. You just don't know it because you take all of those accomplishments for granted.
I'm going to eat breakfast. And then I'm going to change the world.
