Elvis literally changed modern music, MJ just broke record sales etc. He didn't shape music like elvis or the beatles, so no, I don't think he's as significant but as I said, I think he's the most significant since those two and I highly doubt there'll be anyone as significant to come along after him.

I see your point. So how do you feel about Kurt Cobain? The "grunge" music scene certainly wasn't created by him alone, but Nirvana sure as hell had a lot to do with bringing it into the mainstream.
