As with so many of his treatises, Lefsetz's perceptions are colored by the era in which he grew up. I don't know about anyone else who came of age in the '80s, but there was a hell of a cultural impact from "Thriller" by my recollection, and although the Beatles are and always will be my favorite band of all time, I can honestly say that I still spin "Thriller" way more than "Meet the Beatles."
