Year by year: Prince albums Vs. MJ albums contest OK, so this is just for fun (when 2 or more Prince album for a year I take what is generally considered as being the "main" album for that year)
1979: Off The Wall Vs. Prince. 1982: Thriller Vs. 1999. 1987: Bad Vs. Sign "O" The Times. 1991: Dangerous Vs. Diamonds And Pearls. 1995: History Vs. The Gold Experience. 2001: Invicible Vs. The Rainbow Children.
Copy and paste and put your winner (favorite) in bold. You can explain your choices afterwards if you want to.
Here's mine: 1979: Off The Wall Vs. Prince. 1982: Thriller Vs. 1999. 1987: Bad Vs. Sign "O" The Times. 1991: Dangerous Vs. Diamonds And Pearls. 1995: History Vs.

My choice:
1979: Off The Wall Vs. Prince. 1982: Thriller Vs. 1999. 1987: Bad Vs. Sign "O" The Times. 1991: Dangerous Vs. Diamonds And Pearls. 1995: History Vs. The Gold Experience. 2001: Invicible Vs. The Rainbow Children.
I really like pop star Michael Jackson...
both Bad and Thriller are essentials, fantastic albums:
however he (MJ) just can't beat Prince. He (Prince) is more varied in styles,
Prince is (was) more funky:
Michael Jackson was great Prince was fantastic.
--- Both had their peak from 1979 to 1995. Prince 4Ever.  | |

My tongue is firmly lodged in my cheek. But SOME MJ/Jacksons records ARE better than some Prince albums. FACT.

Same winners for me, but one crucial difference overall is that I can't (and never could) stand Michael Jackson. I've never heard Invincible, and I can't stand The Rainbow Children, so I could consider that one a no-score draw.

What a great idea for a thread! Why not compare/contrast two GOATS?
1979 - I don't have Prince. I should have got that instead of B-sides. I'm gonna blame Eye Jester for that.
I982 - I also don't have 1999 and believe it or not, Thriller neither. I have four well known songs off 1999 & 4 fantastic songs from thriller (best of cds) but always found Beat it rather elementary sounding & also only 3 songs are written by MJ. I always resonated more with Prince when I was a teenager but my first exposure was PR. So here, no album can win.
1987 - MJ wrote most of these and what an album. SOTT - also good. SOTT title track absolutely brilliant. I prefer the songs on Bad to a degree but there are fewer and Prince wrote 'more' good tracks so it's tie here.
1991 - This is hard!!!! I really dig half of this album by MJ and oh man he was so gorgeous during this tour.
1995 - History. WOW!!! In terms of new songs, 'stranger in moscow, you are not alone (R.KellY), History, Earth song, Money, they don't care' I mean in terms of artistry, could it get any better? TGE - loses here. I'm really getting more and into this album, have fallen in love with Endorphinmachine, always loved Gold but the segues, make Prince lose this round. But really History is difficult to compete against.
2001 - Invincible - oh some gorgeous songs, even the simplistic ones, but not enough so TRC wins in terms of sheer musical journey.

Of course hard to judge therefore. But we must remember, MJ only wrote 2 songs solely on his own so in terms of production we could say MJ won, great album & the first track, out of this world, but made by that original Cameroon Saxophone sample! But of the 4 songs I have from Prince, all written by himself, artistry aware goes to Prince. Those songs are just as good as MJ's.
MJ was funkier here than Prince who was more eccentric but how do you compare, 'heal the world, black or white' with 'cream, willing and able, strollin , d&p, live for love and money don't matter????' Ok Prince wins!
1979 off the wall 1982 thriller.....hard to go against 1999 almost a tie 1987 sign o the times....I think both albums was the best for each performer...Bad 1991 Diamonds and Pearls 1995 The Gold experience 1997 rainbow children | |

And with THAT said:
Destiny >>> For You
OTW >>> Prince
Triumph < Dirty Mind
Live <Controversy
Thriller << 1999
Farewell/ Victory <<< Purple Rain
Bad <<<SOTT
Dangerous >> Diamonds and Pearls
History < The Gold Experience
Invincible << The Rainbow Children
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

1979: Off The Wall Vs. Prince. [Easily]
1982: Thriller Vs. 1999. [Close one, but Thriller is just that damn good]
1987: Bad Vs. Sign "O" The Times. [As much as I love Bad, Sign Takes this one
1991: Dangerous Vs. Diamonds And Pearls. [Easily]
1995: History Vs. The Gold Experience. [Both were damn good...so I'd say it's a Tie.]
2001: Invicible Vs. The Rainbow Children. = Tie [neither one was all that good imo.]

I am kind of confused about this one, does it go here or in the MJ sticky? "Aren't you even curious? Don't you want to see the dragon behind the door?" | |

It seems to me that anything with MJ in it & not in the sticky gets locked. I swear, some of the things that happen on this forum makes absolutely no sense to me anymore. [Edited 10/20/12 0:03am] الحيوان النادلة ((((|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|)))) ...AND THAT'S THE WAY THE "TITTY" MILKS IT!

I'm too lazy, I love all of mj's better than Prince's....but the strong songs and/or singles on Prince, 1999, Gold Experience are up there with mj, and sometimes give him a run for his money for a few minutes, cause he's that talented, though I can't digest every single song he's put out, but that is a compliment to Prince cause it simply means he produces art and I'm not going to like or understand all of it while someone else will like songs I don't and vice versa | |

By the way (random) I finally saw a picture of you for the first time. Why don't you post more often?
