    Canadian electronic rockers MSTRKRFT are a testament to the wide reach of Michael Jackson's influence. That's not lost on member Jesse F. Keeler, who mourns the passing of the pop icon.

    "I still remember being a kid watching Motown 25 with my family and losing my mind when [Michael Jackson] did the Moonwalk," Keeler tells Spinner. "Despite what he may have become in the end, pop music is what it is today because of him. There could be no Justin Timberlake, Omarion, Usher, Chris Brown -- even Robbie Williams -- without the music of Michael Jackson."

    Jackson died Thursday at the age of 50.
