If you were to some way make a poll for everyone in the world to vote who they thought was the greatest musician ever I'd wager MJ would come out on top with the most votes.

He's widely regarded (in my opinion, wrongly) as one of the greatest musicians ever, so there's no way he's underrated. He has now achieved legendary status in death.

I know not much about Prince but what I have heard is more interesting than everything I've heard from MJ (Bad, Thriller, History, Dangerous and a few other bits.)
