That might have been an exaggeration. But dude is right that's Stevie doesn't belong in this discussion. It's always Prince and MJ. Nobody mentions Stevie with them. It's not due to lack of musicianship.

What do you think it is?

Because Stevie isn't really a performer. Prince and MJ both did elaborate dance routines when they did concerts.

Prince isn't just a "rock guy," he's a multi-instrumentalist capable of making music in almost any genre out there. It's Michael Jackson who doesn't deserve to be compared to Prince. He was an entertainer--Prince was a true musical auteur.


Michael Jackson is one of The greatest writers in Pop music. GTFO out of here with that slander:camby:

what you dudes don't know is that Michael Jackson is one of the greatest composer/songwriters that's ever lived. he's in the song writers hall of fame for a reason

no instrumentalist just picks up their instrument and starts randomly playing and great music just comes out :bryan:

you have to compose that shyt and write great songs.

michael jackson wrote and conceptualized many of his songs, and then they would go on to be some of the greatest songs the world had ever heard:




Point me to a MJ album solely done by him........ instruments, vocals, producing, etc.

Prince was G.O.A.T. to do it, period. One of the greatest musical geniuses to be in the booth.

he also made terrible albums...did you buy these :comeon::

being a great musician = making great music. period.

I love prince and own a ton of his albums. but too much of his catalog is flat out terrible to put him past Michael Jackson, let alone be considered the greatest to ever do it.

How about this Michael Jackson fans, Ray Charles showed Quincy Jones how to make music who went on to produce those beloved Michael Jackson albums, so without Ray Charles there is no off the wall, thriller, and bad.

Prince is a real musical genius, while Michael Jackson can sing really good and dance, but he's the king of pop for a reason. His music is sinple, its for little kids and young adults, older black people wasn't playing his music like that.
