Michael Jackson died today from cardiac arrest at the age of 50. Although I had heard that he was in bad health, I'm quite shocked to hear this.

Although Michael Jackson was an iconic influence for me in the '70s and '80s, I don't know if I'll ever be able to get past how messed up he became. Nevertheless, I'm going to try and remember him during the peak of his career, from the time frame the above albums were around.

Between this and Farrah Fawcett's passing (and I almost forgot to mention Ed McMahon), I'm pretty bummed... :-(
