If you want to compare...while Prince is amazing no doubt in my mind, he isn't in the rock and roll hall of fame twice. He did not have NUMBER 1 album debuts in the 80s, 90s and 2000's. As much as you want to write Michael off as being an 80's wonderman, Invincible did do well on the billboard charts. Michael is beyond Prince. Michael is beyond Madonna. Michael is a living legend. He is one of the most searched people on the internet. Partly because of his "freakshow" persona but also because his talent is not matched by anyone, even a certain purple one who comes DAMN close!
[Edited 1/11/06 12:09pm] I love MJ but guess what? NEWSFLASH!! Sales don't equal talent. Ask Ashlee Simpson. So quit throwing out sales as an indicator of MJ's greatness. They also sell petrified poop and people buy it. As long as we are playing the numbers game,compare these- Prince's output to MJ's, Prince's ability to play/produce/write songs to MJ's, Prince's Academy Award's to MJ's? See? It's stupid. Numbers don't equal greatness-it's all in your mouth. [Edited 1/11/06 12:13pm] Hmmmmm....Michael Jackson vs. Ashlee Simpson!!! OK, by a close margin, I'll concede that bout to you Jason"inmichaelsbehind"star. However, your gum flapping about Michael vs. Prince.....you must be at Neverland drinking that "jesus-juice" again!!! "If you wanna feel the FUNK....then you have to know the SOUL!!!"-----(Up and Down...just like a seesaw, Back and Forth...oh girl I'm fallin) | |

Its only the prince fanbase that ever compares Prince with Michael Jackson. 
And the name "Michael Jackson" alone is better no need for sales. | |

[Edited 1/11/06 12:09pm] Why would Prince be in the RRHOF twice? Michael was a member of a true band and a solo artist, Prince was always Prince or Prince with a backing band. Also, sales, chart stats, and internet searches don't equal talent. Never have, and never will. Why is it that whenever Michael Jackson is called into question, his fans bring up sales, charitable donations, and the like? Depeche Mode, REM, Arcade Fire, and U2 can't get songs on the radio nowadays and I don't think it calls their talent into question at all. It's just a sad commentary on modern music. The charts are meaningless and don't measure much of anything other than what has been forced into our consciousness by record labels. I agree with you for the most part (MJ was/is the shit, but bringing up record sales is moot; Prince is simply more talented)...However, you are a little off on bringing U2 into the discussion...Bono and the boys are one of the only '80s acts that still gets radio and MTV airplay today... | |

 Kate Bush!....on a video game soundtrack. It really is a diverse soundtrack.....a diverse 80's soundtrack....80's R&B, 80's metal, new wave, latin,funk, hip hop. Kurtis Blow's The Breaks is on there.....oh god so many good songs. It's really one of the best soundtracks I know....who would've thought one of my favorite soundtracks came from a video game. The discs are divided into the different genres and they have interludes with DJs which makes it seem like you're listening to a real radio station. GTA loves Rick James too.....he's on the San Andreas and Vice city soundtracks. San Andreas doesn't even compare to Vice City. I mean it's not bad....it's just not as diverse as Vice City.
typo [Edited 1/10/06 17:01pm] San Andreas has more stuff in it, but it lacks Vice's spark. I'd love for a GTA game to take place in the 80's and be the size of San An. I also maintain that "Little Red Corvette" should of been in it. There is a Corvette knock-off in it after all. The soundtrack to GTA Vice City is sooo damn good, almost every song brings a smile to your face. Excellent! RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... | |

[Edited 1/12/06 16:31pm] I wasnt born till 1987 I can undertsand way they were both compared, different and feminine. Even if they were compared back in the day Prince is no where to be heard of today. I always remembered Prince as the icon in the 80's with the tight pants. And if i hadnt watched the romeo & juliet movie i would have never knew "when does cry" was a prince song. | |

Prince had THE BIGGEST tour of 2004 and was on near every damn TV/award show and was on "Rolling STone" magazine. No wear to be heard of??? Isn't his new video directed by Salma Hayek on VH1 a bunch? Wasn't he on the Academy Awards in 2005? The only place I see MJ is in court and the tabloids. "New Power slide...." | |
