1999 pisses all over Thriller. Not that I think Thriller isn't a great record but 1999 is the greatest album ever made.
The only one I may agree with is Off The Wall beating Prince, but I would probably call that a draw. | |

Thanks for at least playin' Po.
Don't get me wrong I'm a Prince fan not an MJ fan (well a little bit of a Jackson fan). I can admire Jackson's brilliance but I wouldn't go out of my way to see him live. However alot of Orgers give out about some of Prince's lesser works and then go mental when you try comparing those works to something by another artists. Some of the stuff is similar like the bad rap efforts on Dangerous and Diamonds, though done way better on Diamonds it has to be said. I think HIStory has to be the most underratted album ever. You always hear about Off the Wall and Thriller but never HIStory. It has less filler than Thriller and some really exceptional tracks, Disk 2 I mean obviously. | |

well, MJ has more fans worldwide and has sold more albums worldwide and has made more $$$$ than P throughout the yrs so I would say that his album are better. Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater? | |

I love HIStory, but the Gold Experience probably ties with it. I even liked the second disk, but there were a few songs on it that sucked, unlike TGE where everything was gold.
And I love Thriller, but I can admit that it's the most overrated album of all time. 1999 Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

There was a Bowie V Prince here a while ago and nobody said boo. They are just 2 great artists so why not compare? Anyhow Prince did call MJ a musical genius before. I wonder how Prince would vote on the competing albums? | |

Winner: Off the Wall Definitly 1982 - Thriller V 1999 Winner: Thriller Very complex issue, i couldn't say 1987 - Bad V Sign O' the Times Winner: Sign O' the Times Definitly 1991 - Dangerous V Diamonds and Pearls Winner: Diamonds and Pearls Are u f...g INSANE ???!!! D&P is a nice but common P album when Dangerous was a REVOLUTION (still sounds like it was recorded last week, actually) 1995 - HIStory V The Gold Experience Winner: HIStory Very arguable, Gold has much more energy in it 1997 - Blood on the Dance Floor V Crystal Ball Winner: Crystal Ball Definitly 2001 - Invincible V The Rainbow Children Winner: The Rainbow Children Definitly 2003 - Number Ones V NEWS Winner: Number Ones How can u compare a "best of" with an original album ?! NEWS would kick any record's ass anyway 2004 - The Ultimate Collection V Musicology Winner: The Ultimate Collection Again, how can u compare a "best of" with an original album ?! But if we're to do it, i'd tend 2 agree on this one Result: Wacko wins 5-4??? What do you guys reckon? | |

Thanx God 4 poor Michael, emancipation lover 4got 2 mention all the Time, Ap/Van6, Family, JJ, Mavis, Madhouse, E.Leeds, Mayte, Exodus & Goldnigga, Kamasutra, etc... all Prince records disguised as other people's records... MJ is GREAT, but there's no match. How can u compare a guy who has recorded 6 album (even with 3 or 4 masterpieces amongst them) with a man who has recorded 60 (with 20 or 30 masterpieces amongst them)... It would be comparing Jimi with Zappa. Both are geniuses, but u can't compare the whole discography it makes no sense... | |

I was trying to compare albums that came out in the same year, don't see what one artist having 52 and a half other albums has got to do with it unless you want to include the very best of Prince in 2001 but that didn't have any original recordings on it (Number Ones had one new one on there) or Exodus in 1995 but I hadn't included any Jackson 5 stuff either so chill out you hippies! | |

1979 - Off the Wall V Prince
Winner: Off the Wall kicks "Prince's" ass, too bad Michael only wrote three of the songs (albeit the best three) 1982 - Thriller V 1999 Winner: 1999 for Lady Cab Driver alone, had all the songs been as good as the ones MJ wrote himself, Thriller might've won 1987 - Bad V Sign O' the Times Winner: Sign O' the Times OWNS Bad handily 1991 - Dangerous V Diamonds and Pearls Winner: I like Dangerous a lot better, so I say Dangerous wins 1995 - HIStory V The Gold Experience Winner: If you omitt the greatest hits disc and let the new stuff stand alone then Gold Experience wins, though not by a helluva lot 1997 - Blood on the Dance Floor V Crystal Ball Winner: Crystal Ball in a landslide, even though there's a lot of crap on it 2001 - Invincible V The Rainbow Children Winner: The Rainbow Children though Unbreakable is my jam 
2003 - Number Ones V NEWS Winner: Number Ones, but it's not fair to rate an album of N.E.W. material in comparison to a greatest hits package 2004 - The Ultimate Collection V Musicology Winner: Ultimate Collection, same qualifier as above though. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Yeah same qualifier however the ultimate collection had at least 12 unheard joints and one brand new one. Some of those were from Off The wall/Thriller so the Ultimate Collection wins, and Dangerous was MUCH better than Diamonds and Pearls in my oppinion. | |

| This thread is a joke. Whoever said Thriller is better than 1999 needs a lobotomy (or at least needs to clean out the wax out of their ears). I like Thriller but 1999 is a major benchmark in Prince's career.
Same with this History is better than The Gold Experience...are you all really Prince fans? The only one I'll go with is the Off The Wall comparison to Prince...although its a close one. I still listen to Prince a hell of a lot...and Off The Wall is the only MJ solo album I still listen to on a regular basis. | |
