Prince, easily. 

There was no one better at writing clever, catchy pop tunes than Jackson.  But Prince could match him, and do truly innovative stuff, too.  And Prince produced a lot more material during the period under discussion.

Prince, obviously. I mean, the guy wanted to fuck your girlfriend, and she wanted to fuck him, and STILL listening to his music meant she ended up fucking you...comon...what more needs to be said?

Who the fuck picks Michael Jackson over Prince?  WTF?

I agree.

Probably Michael if you include his Jackson 5 stuff.  Otherwise Prince.

He fucking made Thriller, while Prince did Purple Rain. 1-0 for Wacko Jacko.

Only Europeans fall for that shit.

Seriously though the poll results thus far are apaling.

At least with this poll one doesn't have to worry about one's views about the artist's personal life coloring their reception - because both Jacko and Prince are disgusting douchebags.

I think it's basically a referendum on Prince. Most can agree that Jackson was a solid but somewhat overrated artist, otoh Prince was either a genius(lol) or a hack.

I think Jackson's death was just a ploy to win sympathy votes in this poll.
