I think your view on music is very narrow. You've said Johnny Cash and Paul McCartney can't be put in the same category as Micheal Jackson. If you have never even heard of Cash until this year, how can you say where he ranks among music's greats. Have you owned any of his music? Seen him perform? Listened to what other musicians have said about him?
Both of these singers have had careers that have spanned decades and influences many of todays artists. So to say they aren't relevant is crazy.
Despite his succes in the 80's, Jackson's career has mostly been a punchline for late night hosts for the last 15 years. Don't get me wrong Jackson has his place in history, but it is along side guys like Cash, McCartney, Lennon, Holly, Sinatra, Dylan, Presley, Hendrix, Hank Williams Sr. (and there is more) as musicians who have set the bar for others.
