I have to agree here, especially for us mid to late 70s born Gen Xers. Funny thing is, the song itself may not have been a huge sea change, but it took music videos, even in their infantile stage, in an entirely new direction...bigger budgets, stories to go along with the song, etc. Without Thriller's video we might not have gotten the Money For Nothings, You Might Thinks, and Take On Mes as soon as we did. Also, that entire album changed music in that any and every song could have been a released as a single and been a pretty big hit. I think it changed how albums, at least pop albums, were put together when it came to song selection.
