MJ has influenced culture much more than any of those artists as he benefitted from mass media.

I'd disagree strongly on that one particularly in regards to Marley and Zeppelin and their influence on culture. Their music was global.
Sure, Thriller was a great album, Jackson was a great performer and a respite from the crap of Duran Duran and Spnadau Ballet but this was the 80's. Possibly the worst genre of music in recent memory. Just putting it into context.
Young'uns I would hazard a guess even nowadays are more in tune with Marley than MJ. In 50 years time I'd even bet that 3 little birds will still be >= Billie Jean.
