Which of these had the best music?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I've never heard The Beatles, or Elvis. (only little tidbits here and there) So I can't say for
sure, but I doubt I'd enjoy their music more than Michael Jackson's. He's one of my favorites.
The Beatles, nothing any of those other artists released touch Revolver, Rubber Soul, and Abbey Road.......
[QUOTE="Toriko42"]Michael Jackson owned The Beatles nintendo-4lifequite litrally! Anyway i recently bought the beatles catalogue so i'll give that a go. But i don't think they will beat MJ for me. while Michael Jackson owns the real beatles catalogue!!!!!
Michael Jackson mopped the floor with all of them, Michael Jackson owned The Beatles Thriller, Bad, and Off The Wall are better than any of those artists albumsToriko42Yeah, he literally owned them. Well, their music anyway. :P
MJ is my pick as well. I listen to his music and I just can't help but feeling like wanting to get up and dance. The other two groups? I hear them, and I get all....meh.
Michael Jackson by far. Other than playing instruments, Michael Jackson could sing way better, had a lot more hits, and mop the floor with all of them when it came to performance. Oh yeah, and he is the reason why music videos is considered one of the main art forms of music. If there was a pound for pound competition, Michael OWNS every other recording artist.
Thriller
Beat It
Smooth Criminal
We are the World
Earth Song
Black or White
Bad
Billie Jean
Scream
And those are just a few of the classics that he had (I had to stop sometime, lol, heck, I also didnt even name any of the songs from "Off the Wall")
Micheal Jackson had a bunch of really awesome singles but his albums were weaksauce as a whole. Elvis I understand why people liked him at the time but his music got pretty repetitive and feels dated... The Beatles though, are the best band evar and all there albums are completely amazing.
Michael Jackson's albums were classics. He had 14 singles on the Bad album with only 15 songs on it and they all did well on the charts btw. And Thriller is the most diverse pop album ever made.Micheal Jackson had a bunch of really awesome singles but his albums were weaksauce as a whole.

Off the wall was good all the way through. Thriller was half amazing, half.. decent, and there were only 9 songs.. and Bad was pretty good also but that was his last good album, after that I couldn't even listen to an entire album of his, they got soooo generic. There was a good single here and there but man after those 3 albums it wasn't pretty imo
Never was a real big Michael Jackson fan. I mean I like some of his music but I never bought any albums.
Beatles and Elvis are a pretty much a tie but I picked Elvis on the vote because if I could only pick one then Elvis edges out Beatles. I have several Beatles albums and quite a few Elvis. I even have Elvis' DVD of his Hawaii tour. Awesome. He was just a natural entertainer. When a single man on a stage can mesmerize a whole audience without using pounding music, smoke or lights, then thats just pure charisma.
Beatles are good too but they hit just at the right time. They looked different, sounded different and captured the heart of millions.

I disagree, his last 3 albums (Dangerous, History, Invincible) were great and the first 2 that I meantioned were classics. He actually experimented more on those albums.
I'm sorry but what? His albums were always diverse, and yes that sometimes comes at the cost of coherence. But no way in hell are they weaksause.Micheal Jackson had a bunch of really awesome singles but his albums were weaksauce as a whole.
