Rock Cliches

I've been waiting for one of these posts.
Downloading Michael Jackson's Biggest Hits
The guy who wrote this for abcnews.com used to be rock critic but is now a technology writer. On page 2 of his post he spouts the old rock critic line about how Elvis' Post Army stuff wasn't very good, Dylan didn't do anything good after his motorcycle accident and tells us Michael Jackson didn't do anything good after Thriller.
It's cliche music journalism and lazy at that. What was perfected on Thriller could never be done again, although Jackson tried, but that doesn't mean that his post-Thriller songs wouldn't have sounded good on that album.
