Top 5 Tracks R&B Edition-Day 10

Today's nominee shatters all genre labels, but i'm quite sure he's well loved and respected by most people here. He's one of my all time favorite artists ever. Today's nominee is Prince.

There will be blood! This man has too many hits and I may like more of his songs than dare I say Mike Jackson.

I don't see The Gold Experience represented too well here. It is his most underrated work. I recommend his fans here to give it a listen. Tracks like Gold, Endorphinmachine, Shy, Most Beautiful Girl, I Hate U, Dolphin, and even P Control would be included among his best tracks IMO.

I'm gonna start off by saying....

MJ>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Prince

Shy was one of my favs from The Gold Experience as well as Shhh Terry but Prince has too many hits to try to name them all. I named about 25 of my favs.....

Yeah, you can't list everything. One of the main reasons I like Prince more than MJ is because his albums play better as a whole. It's not a knock on MJ but his albums feel like a hits collection. With greats like them, these are the things that separate them IMO.

MJ's albums felt like a hits collection because he had so many hits! Off The Wall, Thriller, and Bad were like a murderers row lineup of dope songs (except for Liberian Girl on the latter album). I like Prince, but kinda lost interest in him when he became "The Artist".

shit KJ Liberian Girl was dope too man, the beat (which of course was sampled for MC Lyte-Keep On, Keepin' On) and MJ's singing on that one were classic IMO.....

As far as the Prince/Michael debate, I have Mike above Prince by just a little bit, but these 2 IN MY OPINION were the 2 greatest music artists of all-time and easily too, I really wish they would have had an opportunity to have recorded an entire album's worth of music together...now that would have been monumental....

My breakdown on these 2 artists is as follows:

Singing:Mike wins IMO.....I think he was the better overall singer than Prince, although Prince was no joke either.....

Dancing: both were great dancers and both bit a bunch of steps from the late, great James Brown, but I would give the dancing to Mike too by just a little bit...


Songwriting ability: PUSH, both have written so many timeless gems that they just cancel each other out on that one IMO


Stronger albums: again a PUSH IMO, they both have made albums that just beat the shit out of everyone else who ever tried this music thang, from Thriller to Purple Rain, to Off The Wall to Around The World In A Day, I mean these 2 guys are leading the pack...


Ability to play instruments: well this is the one area where Prince is just slaying MJ, because I think Mike only messed around with the keyboard ever so slightly while Prince can play EVERY single instrument ever created and he's one the GOAT guitar players of all-time....soooo!


Production ablity: I'm going to give this to Prince too, because while MJ produced a fair share of his music a lot of his hits were co-produced by Quincy Jones which is not a bad look if your going to get help on an album, but Prince especially his earlier works and even his later stuff was done mainly by just himself


Live Shows: again this is a PUSH to me, both of these artists gave a live concert for the ages, and left many concert goers speechless, they were influenced by a bunch of the same heads that emphasized having a ridiculous stage show like James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Kool And The Gang, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, and many, many others just too name a few, so they learned from the best of the best and each one of them added their own flair and made themselves into some of the best to ever do it live and maybe the best to ever do it live IMO.....


2 mic's, 2 stages, 2 LEGENDS, 2 dudes that just made a bunch of timeless music....they were both the GOATS easily IMO! Terry ya should have saved 'em both for
last man....lol

Mike is my GOAT, I've got Prince in the Top 20 but both are great I agree.

As for saving them for last, what for? We're gonna go through HUNDREDS of artists so we may as well get through the heavy hitters first, and R&B's history is a lot longer than hip-hop's is so there's a ton of heavy hitters to be mentioned. Personally, Mike would have been among the first guys mentioned if I were running the thread, but it's all good.

In my opinion you save the BEST for last.....you get all the "rest" out of the way first...but it's no big deal cause Terry is doing his thang with this thread so far...right now it's the thread I look forward to seeing the most.....

Oh and KJ you said you've got Prince in the top 20?? where does he rank for you in that number since Mike is your goat?? what number is Prince and who is ahead of him and why??

The thing of it is, with R&B's history you never know when we're gonna get to the last. It could be years provided this forum stays around that long, LOL.

As for where Prince ranks exactly, I'll have to think about it but here's some artists/groups whom I bump more than Prince, not necessarily in order except for the top 3.

Michael Jackson
Stevie Wonder
Earth, Wind, and Fire
The Temptations
Mary J Blige
New Edition
Marvin Gaye
Mariah Carey
Sade
Janet Jackson
Luther Vandross
Boyz II Men
The Gap Band

Keep in mind, this isn't to say that all these artists are more talented than Prince but I simply bump their music more.

I'm trying to be as well rounded as possible. I don't want this topic to be front loaded or back loaded. My intention is to only do one giant of the genre a week. Jodeci and MJB are great in their own right, but week 1 was anchored by Stevie and week 2 by Prince.

Stevie>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MJ

and I LOVE Stevie Wonder by the way, but even he is not fucking with Mike IMO!

He's better than Mike in almost every way. He's a better vocalist. He's a better song writer, he's a better producer. He's a better musician. I guess MJ's the better dancer, but that's kinda obvious, right? Stevie has the best album between the two, and don't even get me started on their overall catalogs. Stevie's "classic period" will never be matched by anyone not even MJ. The Jackson 5 was cute and they had some timeless hits, but MJ's bread was buttered with Bad and Thriller for the most part. I would take Songs In The Key of Life over Thriller and Innervisions over Bad. And we aren't even mentioning Talking Book, Hotter Than July, Music Of My Mind, Fullfillingness' First Finale, My Cherie Amour, Where I'm Coming From, For Once In My Life, or Signed, Sealed, and Delivered. It's a wrap from my point of view.

Yeah Stevie is a better artist than Mike but of course Mike is the better entertainer.

I have no problem with anybody saying that Stevie is better than Mike. I like Mike better personally but Stevie is 2nd on my list. If there's any other male solo artist in R&B history that can match Mike as far as bangers go, it's definitely Stevie.

Both are better than Prince easily IMO.

Oh, and Terry...

Off The Wall>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bad

Funny to me how you forgot about both Off The Wall and Dangerous both of which when added to BAD and Thriller and his Jackson 5 and Jacksons material stand up to all of Stevie's works IMO...and I love and respect Stevie as an artist too...he's in my top 5...but IN MY OPINION he is not better than Mike sorry mane!

@ better than Prince EASILY?? it's okay if they are better than Prince but EASILY???

you act like Prince is fuckin Busy Bee or something mane....lol

I'm not forgetting about either of them. They both belong in any conversation about MJ, but they are both slightly lesser works than Thriller and Bad IMO. That's still just 4 albums that can't compete with what Stevie did. If you were to literally list every last one if Stevie's hits and classic albums, there would be a gap wider than the Grand Canyon between Stevie and everyone else. I think Marvin Gaye is a far more accurate counterpart for MJ than Stevie is.

Nah son, Prince is dope but I just feel that Mike and Stevie have doper overall catalogs.

I disagree...I think Mike stands right there toe to toe with Stevie and surpasses him when taking into account his entire catalog of incredibleness right next to Stevie....Marvin is in the convo too but he too falls short of MJ's greatness IN MY OPINION....

Stevie has made some incredible sounds mane but so has MJ and Marvin too for that matter...this is why I love this thread mane....r&b artists and comparisons are tough man.....

I'd take Off The Wall over Bad 10 times out of 10 personally. Both are classics, but I think OTW has more 5 star tracks overall.

As for the Mike vs Stevie debate. Stevie has a much larger discog, but if you throw in Mike's work with the Jackson 5 then he easily matches (if not overtakes) Stevie.

I love Marvin Gaye, he's in my Top 10 but he's not seeing Mike.

I'm just not seeing it. Bad has Smooth Criminal, Man In The Mirror, Dirty Diana, Leave Me Alone, The Way You Make Me Feel, I Just Can't Stop Loving You, and Bad. The other tracks are no slouches either. I just can't see more than seven 5 star songs on OTW.

Hmmm let's see:

Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough
Workin' Day And Night
Off The Wall
She's Out Of My Life
I Can't Help It
Rock With You
Get On The Floor
Burn This Disco Out

I count 9 (five star joints) and there's only 10 tracks on the damn disc....this shit is built like Illmatic man...lol...Mike killed both efforts (BAD and Off The Wall) further cementing his genius....

REAL TALK!! All of those are 5 star tracks IMO. OTW was arguably Thriller BEFORE Thriller.

Bad was a dope album, but I usually skip Liberian Girl and occasionally skip Speed Demon. I don't skip anything on OTW.

Those are not all 5 star tracks, and if they are so is Just Good Friends and Another Part Of Me.

You know they overrate shit.

And Another Part Of Me is a 5 star track as well

your just helping my arguement/debate about Mike being better than Stevie....lol..keep it up Terry...

You only listed 8. What would the 9th?

No, i'm not. You could literally go through and do the same for Innervisions, Songs In The Key Of Life as well.

Also, i think Liberian Girl is 5 stars, but that's far from a common opinion.

Every song on Off The Wall is better than Liberian Girl.

Like i said, my opinion is far from conventional.

yeah it's 8 my bad


Liberian Girl is 5 stars too....


My top 20 r&b acts of all-time IN MY OPINION are:

1. Michael Jackson/The Jackson 5
2. Prince
3. Stevie Wonder
4. Earth, Wind And Fire
5. Chaka Khan
6. The Isley Brothers
7. New Edition
8. Sade

14. S.O.S. Band
15.The Gap Band
16. Anita Baker
17. Luther Vandross
18. Jodeci
19. Chic
20. R.Kelly

and it's in order for me too, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the order is done by who is the most talented (although I do think MJ and Prince have the most talent of everyone listed) but it's by whom I have bumped the most in my life and by the type of sound that I'm feeling the most.....probably needed to list about 100 because as I review this list I see a bunch that I'm feeling that I want to list as well..lol, but they would fit into the next choices below these elite 20 for me.....
