Alright, I know nobody likes to admit, but everyone on this board at some point or another loved the dude's music (most of us still do). If you had to pick just ONE, what would be your fav (definitive) Michael Jackson song. Mine is 'Stranger in Moscow". He's had catchier hits, but I don't think anyone has put out a more open, honest song.
Gotta go with "Billie Jean", the song is great and the video was awesome (back when MJ was still a normal human).
Man in the Mirror but other great songs are too numerable to mention . . . from "Bad" to "Black or White" . . .
I prefer the Jackson 5. Even though his last cd didn't do great "Butterfly" wasn't bad and didn't get the airplay it probably deserved.
it has to be "scream" that he did with janet.... you know when he cursed in the chorus? Chorus: Stop pressurin' me Just stop pressurin' me Stop pressurin' me Make me wanna scream Stop pressurin' me Just stop pressurin' me Stop f****n' with me Make me wanna scream yep... pretty bad a$$.
"Whatever Happens" is a good rumba. But I like the Off the Wall Micheal. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough is great late disco. The blackstreet billie jean was nice.
"Human Nature", "Dirty Diana", and "Rock With You". 3 of his lower hits (if you can say that about them) are probably my favs. I'm partial to "Billie Jean" also.
Too many to choose. Couldn't go wrong with anything between 1979-1984. Then he was still able to drop diamonds afterwords like Man In the Mirror, The Way You Make Me Feel, Remember the Time, etc. Picking one would be blasphemy. The man is a mu-si-cal gen-i-ous. BTW-Remember the Time's video ranks up there with Thriller. Damn, Mike. What happened?
