Purple Rain or Thriller?

[6CertsAndAMovie]

thriller really had only bad song...or song i dislike - Girl is mine...nah

should have been on the album instead

This song is amazing why is it the first time I've ever heard it.

Apparently Michael Jackson was trying to leave his more boyish sound behind but this was on the cutting room floor :wow

Thriller was better as a kid cause it's literally an album for kids and Disney believing cacs...

But as an adult...

I ain't listening to shyt like Thriller, Beat It, PYT, Girl is Mine...that shyt is corny...

I only play Human Nature, Wanna Be Starting Something and Billie Jean off Thriller...

As a kid I didn't understand Prince...but the older I got...I could understand a song I Will Die For You...or Nikki...or When Doves Cry...or Purple Rain

And then when I listen to other genres...I could appreciate Prince's breadth of musical knowledge...

Prince made real Rock music...Michael made a half assed rock song...Prince made actual Dance music, Prince made actual Funk, Prince made actual RnB

Lol like Prince is the best artist in the 80s if you wanna talk about albums and not music videos and dance moves...

Although Off The Wall is one of the best Pop albums ever and captures 70s music like no other...

He sold out with Thriller...

Yeah, nobody saw this response coming.

CAC!!!!!

He has a strange obsession with MJ. He calls MJ every name in the book and always come out of the woodwork on MJ threads.

Sign O is my favorite Prince album.. just like Dangerous is my favorite MJ album.

I need to go back and revisit Dangerous. I liked it when I was younger, but its been a long time since I listened.

 

[Cat piss martini]

Purple Rain

 

[Hey_zeus]

Purple Rain by a hair.

 

[DosCadenaz]

Purple Rain. I don't listen to every song on Thriller

 

[Methodical]

why you gotta do this to me?

Both are great albums but Thriller's importance is almost entirely commercial. Purple Rain was one of the only albums in history that was deliberately commercial and yet not artistically compromised, IE he wanted to make himself a superstar but he didn't have to sell out to do it. On Thriller, almost all the songs are great, but the album is way too poppy in general and way too conciliatory to every possible demographic, it just isn't as edgy or as artistically accomplished as Purple Rain, which is a pretty good characterization of the difference between Prince and MJ's career. I love both but I'm going with Purple Rain. The singing near the end of it is sooooo good
