Everything

I don't think most people agree. But if I had to guess, it's because Off the Wall is a better body music album and more faithful to black music, Thriller is more of what everyone likes in smaller amounts

I guess it depends on whether you prefer disco or standard synth-pop.

And single-wise for me personally I much prefered the ones on Off the Wall.

Let me give a little bit of reasoning on why I think Thriller is better.

When I, you, or most people think of Michael Jackson, I'm willing to bet that they'd think of songs such as:

>Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
>Thriller
>Beat It
>Billie Jean
>Human Nature
>PYT
>Bad
>The Way You Make Me Feel
>Another Part of Me
>Man in the Mirror
>I Just Can't Stop Loving You
>Dirty Diana
>Smooth Criminal
>Leave Me Alone
>Remember the Time
>Black or White
>They Don't Care About Us

Notice how not a single song from Off The Wall is on this list?

really bro? more people know Rock With You and Don't Stop Til You Get Enough than Dirty Diana or Human Nature.

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough is conveniently missing, interesting. And even then I don't see how the fact that people know those songs more than most of Off the Wall makes it inferior to Thriller.

Because It's the Falling in Love, Rock With You and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough are 10/10

A lot of that was hype though. Now the hype has dissipated, Rock with You (10) and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (6) are in his top 10 in terms of both sales and streams

>one song from an album vs 90% of an album

The point still stands.

I'll reiterate: I don't see how the fact that people know those songs more than most of Off the Wall makes it inferior to Thriller.

Off the Wall is a different kind of sound than Thriller. its more akin to disco, to be honest.
Thriller is like peak 80s synthpop.

They're both equally excellent albums.

>More people know these songs therefore it's better
Also on what fucking planet do people think of "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Another Part Of Me" over Don't Stop and Rock With You?

People who are younger than 35.

I'm 19 and I'd listen to those songs over the shitty Bad singles any day.

Even if the 'only old people listen to it' argument were a legitimate one I call complete bullshit still.

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough and Rock With You were both huge hits and remain very popular among MJ fans and the general public, and are always on his compilations.

why all the hate on MJ...he owned pop and I still enjoy his music today. Beat it Beat it Beat it

How many people truly believe Off The Wall is better than Thriller? I love both but I have to give to Thriller because side two (Beat it to The Lady in My Life) is an immaculate sequence of music

Fantano reviewed Thriller

Even the sappiest, sugariest songs on Off the Wall are still better than The Girl Is Mine.

HOL UP HOL UP
I just took a look at the songs from "off the wall' and I love

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
Rock with You
Working Day and Night
Off the Wall"
She's Out of My Life
Girlfriend

i like the video more than the song

>tfw pepsicola murdered Michael Jackson

Side 1 of thriller is just as good as Side 2. Human Nature, and The Lady in my Life being the weakest tracks on the album.

Overall Off the Wall is slightly better than thriller.
Both of them are 9/10 albums though.

The Girl is Mine isn't that bad. It reminds me of Mornin' by Al Jarreau.

Why does everyone forget Get On The Floor and I Can't Help It? Those are his greatest songs.

leave Al Jarreau out of this..

Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine
In my mind

nothing; off the wall is easily mj's best.

true patrician album coming through

>I Can't Help It
hell yeah I got to give you this one...its my jam

Are Thriller and Off the Wall Sup Forumscore?

Second this shit, can't help it

you hipster need to come off your high horses

Answer my question instead of calling me names. I'll give you another shot.

Are Thriller and Off the Wall Sup Forumscore?

for me if the music puts you into a very good place and vibe IT'S core.

>popular=superior

Sup Forums core don't mean anything to me...if I love it thats all that matters...

People think Off the Wall is better than Thriller? Really?
And I thought it was edgy of me to say it was as good as Bad.

thriller was bestie but off the wall cant be refuse or not acknowledge to the extent its disregarded intentionally

To be fair, I thought Invincible and Dangerous were his best albums.

Well, let me explain it to you in a very simple way that almost everyone can relate to. Money.

Thriller is the best-selling music album of all mother fucking time.

Off the Wall is only Michael's 5th best selling album.
