![Post Post](./styles/serene/imageset/icon_topic_latest.gif) Prince vs Michael Jackson
Likely to be compared for eternity as flamboyant, African-American pop stars peaking in the same time period and born a few months apart, who both passed early
My pick is Prince - never could get full into listening to MJ

It's not really a contest, they're complementary.

Michael Jackson. He was my favorite singer growing up. I was obsessed when I was like 5. Didn't really listen to Prince when I was a child.

Well, they were both weird. One was a kiddie fiddler and the other was a prick with short-man syndrome. But Prince doesn't have one good song. Michael Jackson has tons. It's not even a contest. MJ all the way. Cha'mone mother fucker!

I only know Kiss by Prince. Michael Jackson has all of his hits plus the Jackson Five.

Prince. I like his catalog much better
MJ songs are too sugary and cheesy at times. Bonus for Prince since he can play wicked guitar solos and a better weirdo

If you asked this just after MJ's death, the result would be much different.

I am astounded. Prince was a genius songwriter, performer, producer, musician. Michael Jackson was a good performer, but seriously, more people like him? I never expected that.

Prince missed a generation. If it weren't for Glee, I'd literally never have heard of him until his death.

This isn't even a contest. Michael Jackson made music videos an even status back in the day. He's sold tens of millions of more records. Thriller is either the #1 or #2 record of all time. They are both music legends in their own right but Jackson is in a league of his own here.

Jackson has so many popular songs that are played all of the time. I rarely hear Prince songs. I can't fathom why people think he was nearly as influential as Jackson.

Prince's discography is objectively superior. He's also a better performer, vocalist, lyricist, musician, visionary, and he didn't rape kids.
