Who's better Billy Ocean or Jeffrey Osbourne?


Gosh, that is a hard one... but I think Osbourne tops because I think his voice is just a better quality, also back in the 80's Jeffrey couldn't be stopped. He had about 3 albums in a row that were big hits... and had I would guess top 5 hits. Ocean had a couple good albums, but not blockbusters like Osbourne.
Plane love and that whole album... heard it on black radio all the time!

'Suddenly' is a VERY good album.Side One (for those of us who remember the vinyl days,lol) is top-notch...

"Carribean Queen (No More Love On The Run)"
"Mystery Lady"
"Syncopation"
"The Long and Winding Road"


There were a few other decent hits after that (most notably,1987's"Love Is Forever"),but then he lost me with that awful 1988 single "Get Outta My Dreams,Get Into My Car",which is pop garbage disbelief
