MJ is someone I only started to appreciate after he died, unfortunately.

It's also sometimes hard to separate MJ as an artist from some of the shit he did in life.

This isn't really the place to debate it but the accusations were total garbage.

Prince vs MJ - who was better?

MJ is the better all round performer and artitst, people like to give Prince extra points because he was a more of a 'musician'.

 

[Sephzilla]

Neither. They can both stand on their own

I agree with this answer

Spoiler

Real answer is Prince as he was more of a musician than MJ was.

And I also agree with this answer

 

[Heroman]

Prince vs MJ - who was better?



Yeaaah, all things factored in it's kind of easy to see how he developed issues



Wraith/Adam Bomb might be my favorite look for a guy who ended up never making it big

MJ
Off the wall is one hell of a album.

 

[Sephzilla]

MJ sure knew how to work an audience though

 

[Deleted member 47027]

MJ gave the crowd what they wanted

Prince gave the crowd what he wanted to

All very good things

 

[SallyIsNow]

Ringo's songs are the best Beatles songs.
Don't Pass Me By
Yellow Submarine
Octopus's Garden
And of course the GOAT With a Little Help from my Friends

Banning people for having great taste?

Prince vs MJ - who was better?

Man, I don't think I've ever listened to a Prince song.

 

[Sephzilla]

I don't know if we'll ever see a talent like Prince or MJ ever again.

Huh
No
Stop

Sure we will. They just aren't popular yet. There's so much talent out there. Just a dice roll if they blow up.

I'd put Beyonce on MJ's level.

 

[Heroman]

I don't know if we'll ever see a talent like Prince or MJ ever again.

Bruno Mars , Frank oceans, etc.

 

[Sephzilla]

Bruno Mars , Frank oceans, etc.

I actually like Bruno Mars but I think he tries too hard to actually be MJ at times.

 

[Beefy]

Bruno Mars , Frank oceans, etc.

Ergh

 

[Heroman]

I actually like Bruno Mars but I think he tries too hard to actually be MJ at times.

Oh for sure, but his last album was top tier.

 

[Pikma]

I'll ban you all for derailing this thread about Fake Sports Entertainment

 

[Hex]

He's referring to The Girl is Mine, not Say Say Say.

Ah yes, almost forgot that one. Really is pretty much trash

 

[Syder]

I don't know if we'll ever see a talent like Prince or MJ ever again.

Agreed. I was lucky enough to see Prince live several times and it's kinda ruined me on other performers who are around these days.

I actually had tickets for MJ's last tour and bought them on the morning of June 24th '09... I have terrible luck :-/

 

[Nocturnowl]

I'll ban you all for derailing this thread about Fake Sports Entertainment

We gotta go fix these posts...

I don't know if we'll ever see a talent like The Rock or Stone Cold ever again.

There we go, seamless huh?

 

[Beefy]

I would put Freddy Mercury up there and David Bowie

 

[Sephzilla]

I think Freddie Mercury straight up had the best singing voice in history

There we go, seamless huh?

I think we'll see another pro wrestler like The Rock at some point. I don't know if we'll ever see someone like 96-97 era Stone Cold Steve Austin again though.

 

[Heroman]

And we want to go further, Kendrick Lamar is totally at mj and prince level.

 

[Beefy]

Nope

And my dad Bob Marley


All time greats:

Bob Marley, Mercury, Bowie, Prince, George Michael and MJ

Yep!

 

[imBask]

Freddy Mercury had a great voice, but I can't stand Queen at all

 

[Data West]

george michael had a better voice than david bowie

 

[SallyIsNow]

And my dad Bob Marley

Yup.

Freddy Mercury had a great voice, but I can't stand Queen at all

I can't stand you!

I don't really care much for Queen either.

 

[Sephzilla]

Ban this filth plz

 

[Syder]

I can see why people rate peak Freddie Mercury so highly and would've no doubt continued if not for that terrible disease but, for me, MJ was an amazing performer from the age of 10 until he died and his peak was much longer.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Dua Lipa is good

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Bob Marley's "Legend" is one of the most evergreen albums out there, routinely selling 3-5k per week without fail, but without huge surges or dips. It's ridiculously consistent.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Yep!

King Kendrick release some of the most critically acclaimed rap albums he is at that level.

Queen: Great singer, awful musicians and songwriting

Bicycle is absolutely awful

 

[Sephzilla]

HE'S GOT A BICYCLE

Bicycle is fucking trash

Somebody come at "Under Pressure" and see what happens.

Can't. Nobody can. That's a great song. Thank Bowie for that.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I just couldn't get into Kendrick.
Or Grimes.
Or Death Grips besides Exmilitary.

A lot of their songs are just unbearable to me. I hope I never hear Bohemian Rhapsody again

 

[Beefy]

Seeing this is a shoot thread. .

None of the singers etc deemed as "icons" in our life time will be remembered like the big 6.

the "hum bapbap" vocals by Mercury just before Bowie's verse almost ruin the song

I was always partial to Don't Stop Me Now when it comes to Queen

[Beefy]

Already said them man.

Bowie
Mercury
Marley
Prince
Michaels
MJ

I didn't like all their music. But I can't deny how all 6 shaped music.

Would add Tupac as well? Or maybe just behind them.

Gimme anything LTJ Bukem with MC Conrad and I'm happy, speaking of downtempo or real DnB. The best duo!

The Show Must Go On is also another great Queen song especially when you consider the state Freddie was in when he sang it

 

[Pikma]

Sooooo Dave Meltzer said on the latest WOR that he didn't find Jinder's promo to be that racist

Alvarez also said that he didn't know if the crowds chanted "that's too far" because they found the promo racist or because they were making fun of Karate Kid, which is a "cult classic", and Meltzer then added that he thought "Karate Kid was before the age of most of the crowd"

Holy fucking shit, do these people even know where they live and what happens around them?

Honestly, fuck both of them.

That's a pretty heavy song for the situation.
