1979 Let's Get Serious vs. Off The Wall

First let's start with 1979's releases of Off the Wall and Let's Get Serious. OTW always get's linked with Destiny, but it should be next to with Jermaine breakthrough LP. Off The Wall charted at #3 Pop / #1 Black. Let's Get Serious at # 6 Pop / #1 Back (all higher than Destiny at #11 Pop / #3 Black.)


Let's Get Serious vs. Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
Rock With You vs. You're Supposed To Keep Your Love From Me
Working Day and Night vs. Burnin' Hot
Get On The Floor vs. You Got To Hurry Girl
Off The Wall vs. Feelin' Free
She's Out Of My Life vs. We Can Put It Back Together
I Can't Help It vs. Where Are You Now?


Girlfriend, It's The Falling In Love and Burn This Disco Out are leftover as it's a 10 vs 7 track album battle. You all can include those 3 and take out three others, but I fave those as the weakest tracks from OTW.

Off The Wall is a pure masterpiece....Michael's best album.

Let's Get Serious has its moments,but come on....it can't compare to OTW

^ Co-sign on the above.

This may be the dumbest thread of the year. & this is coming from someone who made a thread about putting Veet hair remover on testicles.




You should be shunned for the thought of even making a thread like this.

Let's Get Serious does not even come close to Off The Wall.

Off The Wall is a classic.

Michael vs. Jermaine Part one.

PART ONE!!!!!!

You can't mean there is a Part Two.

Please no Part Two.

I don`t know why it`s popular to hate on Jermaine just cause MJ is king of pop....

I`m sure you all know that one of MJ`s OTW singles was song of the year on the billboard`s at the end of 1980 (Rock With You I believe), and on the r&b chart that same year, the same honor went to Jermaine. I was actually happy to learn that since I was familiar with some of jermaines 80s stuff too though I was really young

I admit I havent heard the whole jermaine album, so I cant really do a ranking, but I will say OTW is great. Every time I revisit it, it puts me in such a great mood, something his later albums are no longer doing for me, or at least not right now cause though they make me think a lot and dig deep, Im exhausted from it and just want to dance, relax and have fun, which is what OTW is all about

Yes, there is more.

Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, even his early Motown albums like Ben will be put to the test by big brother Jermaine!
