    If you're forcing me to listen to one, MJ has a far better catalogue of music. Not even close.

    This. I’ve always thought Prince sucked and he’s kind of boring. Music, performance, star quality… It’s MJ.

    Both were insanely talented, and were weird MF’ers…I own one album between the two, and that dictates my vote…

    Thriller sold 67 million alone



    The first time I heard Off the Wall my rock albums started gathering dust. Spent the 80s on dance and funk

    “Off the Wall” is MJ’s best album. Although, “Thriller” is the greatest crossover album of all time.

    Prince's strongest argument over MJ is this song. Or it's the biggest mark against him. Whatever.

    Since this is HH we're talking about on field performance and MJ is a legend amongst legends. Off the field obviously Prince couldn't have a larger advantage but on field MJ wins it rather easily. And I have mad respect for Prince's talent and especially the ping pong and streetball skills.

    Prince might have been more talented but MJ was the superior performer with the superior playlist, and ultimately that's what matters here.

    No one is disputing the brilliance of MJ on Off the Wall or Thriller (although I think Bad was a bit of a letdown) or the commercial success.

    My contention is that if you put Prince's complete anthology next to MJ's, Prince's overall body of work is superior. MJ had 2 albums in the 80's. Prince had 9. He was just more prolific.
