Thriller had got some amazone tracks on it and only two weak(er) tracks: Baby Be Mine and The Lady In my Life. Personally I would recommend the Bad-album more 😄

That's a really good question. The only thing I've heard about Thriller si that it's the quintessential indie album. Like, no one bought it when it first came out. Now, it's barely more heard of then Neutral Milk Hotel's On Avery Island.

Prince is CLEARLY the better musician, but he's not the King of Pop.

It's a mid 80s pop album with a budget.

This guy moonwalked in one of Shirley Temple's first movies.

Cab Calloway was doing it in 1932. Despite it being Jacko's signature move, I don't think it's ever been suggested he invented it.

Prince is more talented. Can't he play like 20 instruments?

Actually, Zappa did spring to mind when I wrote that but I don't know nearly enough about him.

I'm finding it hard to think of any artist who worked in a wider variety of styles than Prince. Bowie perhaps.

Okay, that's two. The point is, Jackson doesn't even register when it comes to musical diversity.

I voted for Prince for his productivity (and his musicianship). On quantitative terms alone, MJ doesn't even come close.

Exactly. Arguing that Jackson was more talented or made better music is one thing, but arguing that he had more variety than Prince is ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst.
