You have continually used the words great and greatest describing your imaginary "mind music." This is a purely subjective analysis on your part. IMO MJ wrote a handful of of respectable tunes but mostly recorded songs by other writers. IMO the rabid fans of his mostly "pop fluff" hits are more interested in his media persona than the integrity of the songs. His personal conduct was deplorable and certainly not to be lauded on any level. The word "fan" comes from the word "fanatic". As for video game music, I'm sure some of it is respectable although not intended to be appreciated by enlightened audiophiles. However, IMO the myriad of fine musicians and composers that go unmentioned in your "greatest" comments
can stand on their own merits. My views are subjective also but are not browbeaten into the forumites here. lnsread of obloviating, quit posing and begin composing so you will have something concrete to discuss. Otherwise, your "wasted potential" argument is only YOUR " wasted potential."
