Pick one. Who is the ultimate GOAT?

MJ was one guy.

All four members of Color Me Badd in one nigga.

both goats

basically
Beatles are iconic and legendary and unfortunately KTT doesn't appreciate their music but MJ was 1/1. won't see another MJ

Beatles easy
Dylan the real goat tho

Neither

Dylan greatest songwriter with Paul McCartney following imo

obviously the beatles for their songwriting.

Most of that was two guys. But if you wanna make that argument, pick one Paul or John. And MJ still couldn't compete in songs he's written as that wouldn't include a lot of his hits.

MJ imo

the beatles duh

MJ isn't one guy tho really.

The Beatles were 2 songwriters, towards the end 3 and a genius producer.

MJ was Rod Temperton, Quincy Jones, those 2 guys who wrote Human Nature and James Ingram.

That's 6 guys just for Thriller let alone his career. The Beatles did it with Paul, John, George and the other George

Michael Jackson

Mozart or smth idk

I enjoy more Beatles songs tbh

he wasn't one guy creatively tho. they did way more with less people than him

MJ

very true

Quincy Jones and Prince are better musicians than all of them combined

Yeah I think they had a stronger body of work and it's cause of their elite songwriters.

Prince.

Always thought Prince was the better artist but it's MJ whose the better performer.

Black people generally will say MJ
White people generally will pick The Beatles

But for those of us who actually research, I'd say it's equal tbh. They are from different eras and their impressiveness is opposites. It's downright INSANE how the Beatles got 20 #1s in what like a decade? if that?

MJ was the opposite. He stretched out his projects and sold well every time.

The Beatles have longevity too tho. They're compilation album in 2000s was one of the best selling albums of the decade.

The Beatles did outsell tho. They sold over 400 million where MJ's around 350 mil. I think Elvis is either in between or right below MJ.

MJ covered the Beatles, even Paul had three songs with him

Idk MJ has a way smaller discog but his whole focus was on creating the biggest musical experience you’ve ever laid ears on

MJ for me

Pop Culture wise:
MJ was a superstar for like 20 years, and after his death people literally committed suicide I'm thinking MJ

Music Quality wise:
Idk I dont listen to the beatles lol

MJ
