Thriller versus Purple Rain
Hey everyone,
So I went to this site that had a cast your vote on the greatest debate ever......Thriller versus Purple Rain! I had to vote Purple Rain! I mean Prince played the instruments, wrote the songs, and had and still has that stage presence! What do you guys think? Last edited by Urban Hat€monger ?; 12-29-2008 at 11:10 AM.

Thriller...by 100 miles. No disrespect to Prince, as I love the man, and that disc, but Thriller is still outselling alot of others, some 20+ years later, and has not been duplicated since, nor i doubt it will. IMHO, I think it's in the top 3 all time of "greatest album's ever made", which i wouldn't know where on that list to place it. MJ's a bad mamma jamma man, and that's argueably thee greatest record ever made. I can't find a single song off the record I hate. He truely is "The King Of Pop".
The thing about Thriller is that it's still ahead of it's time, to this day, and still innovative. A casual music fan can put that disc in, listen to it, and just be blown away by it's greatness. You may not like MJ as a person, but you cannot deny the greatness of Thriller.

Same, I kinda liked those songs from Batman, but that's about it.

Well I think Purple Rain is still ahead of its time too...don't get me wrong, MJ's Thriller is up there. But I guess I look at Prince on this album, not only as an artist but also the brains behind this great timeless album!

Yeah and lets compare Sign O The Times to Dangerous or Dirty Mind to Off The Wall.
Not so one sided now

Apples and oranges
Jackson - Typical lip-synching pop star where the dancing is above the singing Prince - A true musician in every sense of the word, records all instruments himself and only uses a band to tour |

Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad are the pefect pop trilogy. 1999 and Purple Rain have some good stuff, but they don't touch Jackson, Sign O' The Times is just crap.

You may not like it but to call it crap it nothing short of narrow minded idiocy. I disllike 'Thriller' but I can recognise it's plus points.
