    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.

    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.

    Prince fans trying to claim superiority over MJ is like Duck fans trying to act like the superior program because UW only has 1 (half) title from 1992.

    Ducks have "The Pick" and a 13-16 bowl game record in the Duck era. Prince has Raspberry Beret and Little Red Corvette. Prince's best moment is actually his Super Bowl halftime performance.

    MJ made Thriller which is quite easily the UW natty equivalent.

    Shame on you Anus.

    How dare you besmirch our '91 Natty with this terrible analogy!

    $130K

    And




    Besides, I’m not an audiophile so the Sonos works perfectly for my needs. Controlled on my phone, played in as many or as rooms in the house as wanted, and an unlimited supply of music.

    I'm just breaking your FUPA balls my obese fren. Sonos is a great product for certain needs. It just doesn't get to the heart of the music in the way that audiophile gear does.
