I'd add Jam and They don't really care about us. Those aren't bubble gum songs.
Why do people compare Prince to Michael Jackson so much

^^^^ all of this. He even had an obscure band with a plain looking white lead singer that had a prince-penned hit song that was jamming
but you're exposing the one flaw in prince's career; he pretty much peaked in the 80's, did VERY WELL in the early 90's....then after that
now, all of that wasn't his fault - that war with his record label didn't help his cause
with that said though - i bought some of his later projects and they were trash. i mean flat out terrible.
you ever hear the rainbow children?
all of MJ's projects except for maybe blood on the dance floor were very good and sonically pushed pop music forward
even Invincible spawned the EDM/Dubstep movement as quiet as it's kept:
This true.
But the OP was still talking sideways about Prince which is still crazy to me.
At 30:00 Prince hops of the paino doing a ballad and then goes straight into Erotic City with the craziest solo at the end.
Yup. Mike was still making dope music into the 2000's.^^^^ all of this. He even had an obscure band with a plain looking white lead singer that had a prince-penned hit song that was jamming

I just don't like people shytting on Prince like he was some average artist.

I know OP doesn't think he can compare Zeus with Odin....or the ocean with space...I know OP isn't asking that kind of question.I'm gonna try and not become irate over the fact that OP even question of two godly like beings who were the very definition of black excellence.:Mildy:
Th!s f*cking song...
but seriously
outta here with this older people talk. You think their parents were thrilled with Ray Charles making gospel music about love and other sh!t ?
Anybody in here talkin about prince isn’t an entertainer is sheltered or rode the slow bus.
I went to a prince concert in Vegas a few years ago and it is easily the best concert I’ve ever been to.
His Super Bowl performance is one of the best ever. As good if not better than Michael Jackson.
His post Super Bowl performance interview performance was probably better than the super bowl performance.
This performance was amazing. Especially if you know the backstory.
Basically the guy in the purple shirt (old guy, center stage) did an interview complaining about prince missing rehearsals and prince was like
Practice
I got you
At the 3:30 mark he starts to go in. If that shyt ain’t entertaining you must be
Young boy in the back like
Dude that was making statements like

How about Stevie Wonder helping create the cultural momentum to get MLK holiday?
This song helped get it done.Most would agree that this would > the cultural significance of any album by any artist.

disingenuous and insecure prince fans lieing on Mike to prop up their favorite as usual. that shyt never changes
the fact of the matter is Michael himself actually did play several instruments too. i know he had the drums, piano & guitar, the latter of which he was credited as playing on ‘morphine’. there might have been more.
he also wrote almost all of his biggest hits BY HIMSELF. and that includes the lyrics and the several different layers of instruments on the song as well.
he had an unconventional style of producing though, rodney jerkins & wyclef both mentioned how he would come to the studio with an entire song (all the lyrics, every single instrument and their arrangements & queues and every single layer of vocals MEMORIZED and would literally play every piece out to the person playing the instrument off the top of the dome.
pretty much every single producer he ever worked with said he was the most talented [in the studio] that they ever worked with.
prince was a genius. but Michael was a genius and a visionary and literally changed the world thru his creations.
nobody was on Michael Jackson’s level.
