Maybe historical irony is a necessity now and then. Anyway, as far as I could tell, Jackoff was perched on top of RJ and Bird, only--and this is the only acceptable reason--because the list was alphabetical. If I'm wrong, I'm gone, but I think that was the rationale for the listing being printed the way it was. I mean, I love "I Want You Back" as much as the next guy, but Michael Jackson shouldn't be ranked in the Top 100 unless psychologists and plastic surgeons get to vote. Lance . . . (ignoring record sales, moonwalking, and milquetoast "R&B"--and loving it)
