As most already know, it doesnt really matter either way who is the best, or who is the most popular for instance. They are two different artist with two different approches toward their music, style, recording/studio, dance choregraphy .. and so on.

I agree with others here at MB, who have already suggested that MJs legacy lies with the Jackson 5, Barry Gordy, Quincy Jones.

If I wanted to listen to some MJ right now, it would be from his early days with Motown.

On the other hand, I wouldnt currently mind hearing Cream by Prince.

Prince.

He has more material and his best songs are just as good as MJs; he just has more. So I vote for Prince. But I LOVE MJ.

This is the best song prince ever sang..

I could tolerate listening to MJs Dirty Diana.

Prince is apparently going all garage rock nowadays.

^^ Yeah, I saw that-- an all girl/ garage rock band.

"Dirty Diana" is a great song.

Did Prince get a sex change or something?

Not that I'm aware of. He does however, currently play with an all female band.

If he hasn't had a sex change how can it be an all female band?

Did I miss something? Are we having a discussion on the fact that i typed 'all girl band'? OF ALL the things to nit pick about you choose this?

Did you note the "he plays with"?

Regardless, I appreciate your attempt to do whatever this may be, but I will just agree with you. You are right. How could he play with an all girl band since he is so clearly male? What an error I made. How nice of you to point this out.
