    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

    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.
    No
    12-8 Abuelo.

    1999, Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy are all in the same universe those songs.

    God Bless DDY...

    I'm not a MJ hater, but MJ had Off the Wall - which was a bunch of great disco jams with the help of Rod Temperton from Heatwave and our own QJ.

    Rock with You was one of the most underrated jams until fucking Justin Timberlake copied it and then it blew again.

    Okay, then he has Thriller. Thriller is obviously a really good record... so, no issues there.

    Okay - what else?

    Bad? Errrr... Smooth Criminal is a good song, The Way you Make me Feel is good, Leave me Alone is pretty fucking good, but Dirty Diana is fucking retarded. Bad is embarrassing. Largely by this point he'd reached self-parody with his 'chamon' and grunts and shit. You can't listen to one of these songs with out him grunting all over it... what the fuck?

    The whole 'I'm actually tough' thing was ill-conceived to say the least.

    This song is basically a little 60s Bubblegum pop number that is closer to Spanky and Our Gang or something than a number where you should be hanging out and pelvic thrusting with dancers dressed up to look like crips.

    Everything here is true.

    Yet still better than Prince.
