there arent even a hundred princes in music. the only one similar is stevie wonder. prince could play almost all of the instruments on his album at proficient to godlike level.
Prince has no legacy in music and made nothing memorable. You can go to any part of the world ask them to name a Prince song and they'll say "Who is Prince"
Hmm >Guy whose bigger than even Jesus Christ and celebrated billions of people, with anyone familiar with his music, dance moves and likeness >Gay guy who died from aids and has no standing legacy in society outside of Muttland and a failed band from the 80s
Tough question.
While nobody can argue against MJ being the most significant cultural figure ever, Queen is really popular as numbers prove >Remember how everyone wrote him off when HBO aired their negative documentary? His critics claimed his legacy was ruined. According to Luminate, thirteen years after his death Jackson has sold 1,000,000 records in the United States during the last 9 months and is projected to reach 1.5 million by the end of the year. He's had no promotion or marketing to his name unlike the rest, among all deceased artists currently only the Beatles are higher with 1.2 million. Jackson is followed by the Eagles (775k), Queen, Elvis Presley and Fleetwood Mac

One of these things is not like the other, anon. Queen got their start in 1970s London. Their first album was in 1973. Imagine not knowing your rock music history.
not even the best classic rock band, even more if you're talking about live performances, Jimmy Page couldn't play live for shit due to drugs he was a top notch studio musician tho
Aside from The Beatles theyre the biggest and most popular rock band ever. No classic rock band has such a diverse discography as Zep. Go listen to some live gigs from 69/70 before Jimmy got deep into the drugs. Regardless Jimmy smacked is better than most. Whos your pick for best classic rock band? Aside from zep my picks are beatles,stones, deep purple and sabbath.
the Who, Rush, Yes and Cream did it better for me, although the later also had its problems with drugs. I like Zeppelin, but I just can't stand Robert Plant homosexualry and Jimmy Page weak live performances (will check the early ones again tho, thanks for the rec), Bonzo and John Paul Jones were absolutely fantastic tho, Led 4 is also a masterpiece, definitely one of my top 5 rock albums, can't argue with that
MJ just danced and sang. Could he even play an instrument? Prince played all of them. That said, I never had much use for either, although Sign o the Times is top notch.
the white one
Performer? MJ
Musician? Prince, by a mile
MJ didnt play an instrument so that’s a convenient cop out. The real answer is dont put prince in the same sentence as michael jackson.
this 1000%
prince can't hold shit to mj. mj was such a colossal mountain of talent
There are a hundred Princes

you're ignorance is amazing tho.

bigger question: who would you rather see live in their prime
Freddie. The dude had a ridiculous vocal range and the rest of Queen were so talented I bet they would sound great live.
Queen, no question. Those dudes were ridiculously good in their prime.

At least you tried.
>599m views
>bohemian rapsody only 1.6b views
>gangnam style- 4.8b views
wow, so what you're saying is queen is a bunch of gay aidsfags that suck over 2 times worse than gangnam style.
at least michael has more than one song that has over a billion views.
Live Aid did less viewers in the United States than Motown 25 (A Jackson 5 concert) did during the same time period.

Freddie Mercury for sure, as cool as MJ was.

MY NAME IS PRINCE

WHEN IT COMES TO FUNK
I AM A JUNKIE
Led Zeppelin mogs them both

Yes and King Crimson are awesome
I feel like in the early days Plant was less faggy. I think its their first tv debut in denmark in 1969 where Plants vocals are so raw its kino.
Prince is just edgy MJ
MJ just danced and sang. Could he even play an instrument? Prince played all of them. That said, I never had much use for either, although Sign o the Times is top notch.
the one who actually wrote his own songs
nobody on this board has seen either one of them live.
Prince isn't very good
Prince should have played the Joker instead of Jack Nicholson
Michael Jackson, nobody in the world cares about Prince or any other musician for that matter.
consumerism isn't culture, none of these people will be remembered in a hundred years.
>The global central figure representing music as a concept and is the sole thing everyone associations with music will be forgotten.
MJ. Prince was the musician one
Prince would never.
