"Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen

VERSUS

"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson

Billie Jean is one of the most astonishing pieces of music ever recorded. It’s absolutely perfect. Music really doesn’t get much better.

I love Queen, but the fact that AOBtD became a frat boy/sports bro theme at events really irks me. Plus it is one of their weaker hits.

Easy vote for Billie Jean

These are both great songs but only one of them is Billie Jean.

Damn. There's been a lot of weak matchups only to turn around and have to face this one. It's Michael Jackson because Billie Jean is a perfect pop song, but I would have voted for Queen against so much of what we've seen so far.

Another has the coolest bass line and was JYDs theme music, but it's no billie jean

I don't get how anyone would think this is close. "Another One Bites the Dust" is one of the worst Queen songs. None of the things that made Queen memorable are on display here.

Queen

I was going in thinking Queen but damn, Billie Jean is an exquisite pop track.

Also, some of you guys were calling "Blurred Lines" rapey.

Michael Jackson was rapey.

One is a person the other is a song

This is a tournament of songs

What is worse? A rapist singing about not having sex or a domestic abuser singing about date rape?

If there's another Queen song in this I'm voting MJ, if not, I'm voting Queen.

A paedophile?

Wow, this is crazy in my view. I think it's quite possibly the best Queen song.

It's so thoroughly unique and bizarre, especially for such an enduring, massive hit.

I love Billie Jean but this match-up is no contest for me.
