In 84 is also when master of Puppets (Metallica) came out, no way i could listen to Lionel Ritchie after hearing Master of Puppets... metallica first album, 1981
Lionel was big at the same time as Michael with more or less the same audience.

I like Anthrax, etc but you would have to recognize that it wasn't common pre-teen listening. Heck, Prince, also big at the same time, was banned by a lot of parents because of Tipper Gore's campaign. Their heads would have blown up at actual metal.
