Not even close
? outta here both jimi and stevie could write/play and sing. Again entertainer easily MJ. But as an all around artist MJ is not the best. The effects and techniques Hendrix used changed rock and roll forever. I know MJ could play instruments a little bit but he was only killing it with his voice and and feet. -
MJ is my 2nd favorite musician of all time, props to the Pop King

Good points but what MJ did with his dancing and voice has had a bigger impact on music overall then what Jimi and Stevie Wonder did for music. Not even talking record sales, I'm talking cultural and musical influence overall, think of all the artists Michael Jackson has influenced and how many dance and even sing like him nowadays. -

There would be no MJ without jimi and stevie. And take jimi outta this stevie wonder was a ? child prodigy. He literally played the majority of instruments on every track of an album. He wrote a considerable amount of his material and he could sing. The amount of work Stevie did on dozens of albums is far more than MJ contributed on his album.
Now compare Thriller to any stevie album obvsiouly you can't top thriller . But Stevie had an entire decade of classic albums (1970's) and he wrote most of it. MJ has credit for writing a very small portion of thriller.Stevie also had consistent brillance from the 1960's to the early 90's. As an artist give me Stevie Wonder's body of work any ? day over the week than MJ. As an entertainer and icon of pop culture you can't top MJ. But make no mistake Stevie easily was the better all around artist. Not dancer and singer but artist. -
Hendrix voice was no where near MJ
And his writing was average at best
Hendrix not ? with MJ or Prince -

^^^ Complete nonsense
1. Michael Jackson was contemporaries with Jimi Hendrix. He recorded a song called Big Boy before signing to Motown. It came out in 1968.

2. Stevie Wonder didn't come out until 1962 and din't really get popular until the late 60s.

MJ wasnt doing half the ? Stevie was doing in the 60's from the musical end. The jackson 5 were stars yes no doubt. However in the 60s a young stevie was composing his own music before he even got his drivers license. Jimi in the late 60s was in his prime killing it. Yeah he wasn't the best singer but his talent both with the guitar and with lyrics and causes was far more involved than just the natural singing talents of MJ. -
What do people get out of saying someone is better than someone or such and such aint seeing such and such. This is not a battle royal, and the people yall are comparing all made vastly different types of music, hence why they are pioneers and considered the greatest of all time within their own respective times and genres..
Even the age old comparing of Prince to MJ is like Apples and Kiwis... I swear yall be on some "my dad can beat up your dad ? " and im sure most of yall old as ? .
Obviously a person who holds Hendrix in such a high regard is not looking for the same things in music that a person who calls Prince or MJ the best is... Let it go, 30x platinum, 100x platinum, there is somebody out there that dont ? with that ? ...
Anyway, congrats Michael, you've proved your worth to millions time and time again -
I own 3 copies of this album
1 CD
1 Vinyl
1 Cassette
great album -

not a fair comparison tbh. He was only 3 years into his professional career. That;s like MJ dying after Off The Wall -
Mike wasn't just making great music, he was uniting people

As much as I love Hendrix he isn't fckin with the King man. A lot of the JIMI legend is more his flair and style on top of his guitar skills in my opinion. MJ was the total package to me. Folks been tryin to be like Mike for decades word to Justin, CB, Omarion and all these other folks just to name a few.

No one is better then mike
