Not that I was actually saying that Prince was only better because he's a musician, I just think his music is on the overall better. I think being a better musician is part of what makes him better, and like I said, I think he's a better songwriter as well. I think Jacko wrote some good songs, but none of them were as good as "Purple Rain" or "Let's Go Crazy".
That is very true but I just wanted to point out that he did play instruments since you said he did not.

And he did not play the piano just a few times. He came up with some of his songs by playing instruments to come up with song lyrics and composition. He also used his mouth and beat box to come up with song compositions as well which is something I think is more creative than just playing mulitiple instruments but that's my opinion.
