Michael Jackson - Bad (Top 500 Countdown Update)

I'm really confused by what gets picked for the Rolling Stone Top 500 albums. This is a really bad album. Unlike Off the Wall and Thriller this album just seems to be hashed out pop music, and not good pop music. How an album like this can get rated 144 spots ahead of something like De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising is beyond me. I would not suggest giving this album a listen.
