Through all his struggles and problems with him trying to change his look every damn minuet, he still was putting out hits after hits. You always here about something that he has or did from the past. With Prince, no doubt he's a genius but you don't hardly here shit from him in terms or what things he has done, like for charity or things like that.

LMAO... His first album of the Millennia 60% of the sales went to save Sheep. "Rave until The Joy Fantasic" Even had a the reason why on the inside cover just to educate everyone of purchased the album.

Iwas just making a correction to the list of songs Jackson did write. Personally I think their both mediocre artists. Just because you're popular does not neccesarily make you great. Elvis is and was huge, bigger than Jackson, but you won't hear me say he was an amazing artist. Off the top of my head here are some artists that are head and shoulders above both Prince and MJ. Pete Towsend, Lennon or McCartny, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix, Roger Waters, Jimmy Page, Niel Young, Brian Wilson.

Prince VS Pete Townsend....they're equal on guitar, i'd say but prince can outsing, outdance, outperform, and outwrite him any day of the week

Prince VS Lennon and Mccartney- writing wise, lennon and McCartney are the better writters but prince would give them a run for their money, but again prince is a better singer (waaaay better all 4 beatles have horrible voices), he's a better guitarist, pianist, dancer, ect.


Prince VS the Boss- bruce is one of my favorite artists but prince is just better than him in every aspect.........also bruce relies on the e street band, prince could interchange anyone with the revolution and make poppin music...bruce can't say that.

jimi hendrix vs Prince-this is a good argument here. i'd say overall they're about the same

Roger Waters Vs Prince- no contest it's prince all day here, Roger waters and pink floyd wouldn't be THAT band if it wasn't for Gilmore and their first lead singer going crazy.

Jimmy Page-no contest here, prince is on par with page as a guitarist, jimmy page is the most overrated guitarist, and that's all page is....prince is more than just a guitarist.

neil Young-lol c'mon man.....prince all day homie

brian wilson-yes i'll say it brian wilson is a genius, i think he deserves all the credit the beatles get, BUT as an Artist and a performer prince is on par with Brian wilson and surpasses him in many many areas as well



Prince and Jimmi Hendrix= the 2 best solo artists ever

Okay look I don't mean performer, I mean artist, in this case musical artist.

Pete Townsend is the creative genius behind miultiple Who albums and songs. Albums is what I'm judging by. The Boss had like 8 classics in a row, Born To Run, and Darkness, were masterpeices. The Beatles are the Beatles. Niel Young may be tone def, but he is a very good guitarist and even better lyricist. Pink Flloyd. Nothing Prince ever does or did can match the Wall or Dark Side. Prince is godd. Very Good, even Great. But album for album he falls short. and Page is more than just a guitarist, all the original Zeppelin stuff was all page. I mean you could say Hendrix was just a guitarist, but that would be stupid.

Bottom line is Prince is a better all round "entertainer" than all those I mentioned, and so is Jackson. But Elvis was also a hell of an entertainer, but not a great artist. Prince lacks the consistency and creativity for me to place him as high as you do.


Also I forgot to mention Bob Dylan, who pushed forward the way artists write songs by atleast 10 years.

white Boy:
i never really got into Prince, and Michael.. hes the king...

Trauma-san:
I dunno, man, there's some real ignorance in this thread, I think.  I think if most of you got into some of these people more, you'd have different opinions, for one, the biggest travesty is dude that said Elvis wasn't great.  You have got to be shitting me.  If you think all he could do was shake his hand and eat pizza on stage, you're wrong, this man had one of the greatest voices of ALL TIME, anywhere, anybody, ever recorded.  And Don, saying all 4 Beatles had horrible voices? Are you retarded?  I could see where you could say that Ringo's voice was just normal, or maybe you didn't like the lilt in George's voice, but Paul and John had great voices!  They could do whatever they wanted... listen to John's "Twist and Shout" and tell me he had a horrible voice.  You've got to be on crack.  Listen to Paul's "Here there and Everywhere" and tell me he had a horrible voice.  

Shallow:
Look man I love Elvis, there are very few people i would rather hear sing any song. When Elvis adopts a song he takes to higher level than anyone before or after, (except for unchained melody, Elvis version was good, but Hatfield's was perfect). However, as a creator, writer of lyric and music, Elvis could never match up with someone like Springsteen.
