Jjang 2,262 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Then explain why Thriller alone has more Grammy's than Madonna entire discographySimple, the Grammy's (and the Oscars) weren't keen on Madonna as well as they weren't appreciative of provocative & deliberately controversial female artists at the time. The Grammy's are also an unstable objective to measure acclaim according to since they rely on many factors, such as who were you against? how was your reputation that year? will the audience be happy to see you win? Kanye and Beyonce have double amount of Grammy's MJ has, do you agree that they're better artists?Ray of Light was on its' way to win 6 Grammy's in one night until last minute they decided to give 2 of the awards to Lauryn Hill, it still managed to win 4 however.

Warholian 6,880 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thriller won 8 Grammys. Madonna has way more than that and you know it.She actually doesn't. Kevin Parker, Mac Demarco, Mark Ronson, and a stoned Lady Gaga. Need I say more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yes, he is the greatest artist of all time...along with The Beatles, if we are including groups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjang 2,262 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 But that is just one Mj album. Also, most lists of greatest of all time, list MJ's albums higher. That's pure journalism, though. They have an equal amount of albums on the 1001 albums you must hear before you die list. - a well respected list made merely on musical recommendation as opposed to pure journalism. Lets not act as if Madonna's positions are not going to boost right up the minute she dies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warholian 6,880 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Literally all of Madonna's albums made the lists yet you're not bothering to even look up your own provided links. Well I searched every single one of them using an actual search for mentions of Madonna and there was nothing. If they somehow didn't show up I'd apologize, but can you show me where you're finding all of her albums on the lists? Kevin Parker, Mac Demarco, Mark Ronson, and a stoned Lady Gaga. Need I say more?

If they somehow didn't show up I'd apologize, but can you show me where you're finding all of her albums on the lists? My search button doesn't work so I won't waste my time searching again... If I remember correctly, she's #43 on the first list (her first album, again : pure journalism). and is on the cover of the second link you provided.

Jjang 2,262 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 It seems he is by societies standards but personally he couldn't be far from it for me. I really dislike his music and I don't find it enjoyable to listen to, it's his voice. Im going to go for Queen as the greatest artist(s) of all time. Thank you I mean, both Madonna and MJ can only dream of reaching this level of epicness and genius composing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, the first one didn't show up for me the first time. Anyways, I still can't find her in any of the other ones, including the Rolling Stones one which is strange since they put her on the cover. Even then, the point I'm addressing that you made is that Madonna's albums are somehow more critically acclaimed than anything Michael Jackson has put out, which is pretty ridiculous.
