Thriller versus Purple Rain- which album is your fav?

Wow ....this shirt from illstreetbluesclothing brought back a lot of good memories so I just had to get it and since then, I have been on some music forums posing the question of which album was better....Thriller or the Purple Rain album? Yeah Yeah I know its a tough call but my vote is Purple Rain....I just loved Purple Rain. Now don't get me wrong, I know the Thriller album was and is still the #1 album sold of all times and I love the Thriller album too but if I had too choose, I have to go with P.R.

I mean " Purple Rain", "When Doves Cry, "The Beautiful Ones, "I Would Die 4 U" and so on and so on! I just remember playing that album over and over gazing at my Prince poster from dawn till dusk. From the album and his concert to seeing the Purple Rain Movie about 500 times, I was in Purple Rain land back in the day. It's also good to point out that Prince wrote and produced this great album as well.

Of course though I have to give respect to Thriller. When Thriller was released, I rushed out like a mad woman to get the album and when the 14 minute Thriller video came out, I totally was GLUED to my TV. Back then, a team of us girls also won first place for our remake of the Thriller dance (man all these years I wonder what the heck did I do with my trophy....hmmmmm.) Anywho, my two favorite songs besides Thriller were the infamous "Billie Jean", and the slow cut "The Lady in my Life".

So I just thought it would be fun to pose this question. I know that both were great artists and I guess at the end of the day, its just a preference. Oh and since I like funny stuff, I had to show this Dave Chappelle clip as Prince and the second clip shows 1500 inmates from the Philippines practicing the Thriller dance.....wow how both of these artists have made a huge impact!
