2858801, face it,Michael Jackson made better albums than Marvin Gaye
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Sat Nov-30-13 01:43 AM
and was a better all around artist as well. I love Marvin Gaye and he is one of the 10 Greatest Artists ever, however he wasn't any more soulful than MJ. as a matter of fact MJ as a kid was every bit as soulful as Marvin Gaye IMO.

MJ albums had a longer life as a Album artist as well. i had to think about it and yeah that is the story.

It's like something Drew Carey would say on Whose Line is it Anyway and then Ryan, Wayne and Colin would give him the nod of disapproval.

God, I fucking LOVE Whose Line.

2858832, Can you even make posts without putting down another artist?
Posted by justin_scott, Sat Nov-30-13 11:10 AM
why can't you just talk about how great MJ was instead of having to tell us how much better he is than another legend?
2858900, ..like that's even revolutionary.
Posted by shockzilla, Sat Nov-30-13 11:13 PM
we know MJ was great.

it's not a secret.

I can be neglectful of minding my own business sometimes. I suggest we should all turn it down a little bit? I always dig what both Shock and max has to say...is it really this personal? Good-natured posturing and jive talking can be fun. Someone, somewhere along the line has lost perspective or took something too seriously. And so what...I'm a cheezie lame who feels better when people get along.

I can see how one might say MJ was a better 'album' artist. Cause the word 'album' sometimes refers to a more conceptual, cerebral type of artistry. And MJ definitely is heavier in that regard to Marvin Gaye.

Yah ya ya....'What's going on' is often characterized and appreciated as a concept album....but I think this has been overstated. What really is the concept? He got rid of the conventional songwriters....recorded some songs with extended jams focusing moreso on instrumentation and atmosphere....wrote some more conscious type lyrics. It all resulted in a classic album....but it's a music-lover's album.

MJ kind of transcends just the 'music-lover' thing. He's got the encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture and used that to appropriate all sorts of different artforms, genre and eras into a multi-media type of artistic statement. Some of the connotations with the term 'album' I just associate more with MJ's type of artistry than Gaye's.

For me, Marvin is the dude that I just wanna check out at a club and enjoy the singing and playing. MJ is the dude that is gonna show you his new 'project' and it's going to involve more than just instruments and singing.

Ain't too many artists, ever, who are as soulful as little "Who's Loving You" Michael tho.

Countless singers have tried to recreate that magic.
2859035, i mean, MJ was astounding.

2859042, Marvin has the GOAT album tho.
