Put it this way. There was music before Michael Jackson and there was music after Michael Jackson. He changed the art-form. Just like what Marlon Brando did for acting and Richard Pryor did for stand-up, Michael Jackson did for music and pop culture. He is incomparable to anyone and his impact is immeasurable. Not to mention the impact of his philanthropy. A true hero that graced this earth. Case closed.

I remember one Xmas I got the 45 for "Bad"
and I turned my stereo up sky high
thinking it was gonna start with the bassline
just like the radio was playing

then it did that funny intro
that scared the shit out of me

I will never forget that

..my favorite m.j...song...

Fave MJ songs:

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, Off the Wall, Human Nature, Lady In My Life & Billie Jean are my all-time faves. I cannot decide which is better between Off the Wall and Thriller, though. I say they are a tie.

I just wish "Thriller" could have been like, down the road for him a bit. I wish that were his fourth album/CD instead of his second (as an adult). It just seemed like he peaked so early in his adult career that there was no place he could possibly go but down. What an amazing career and legacy this man had.

There's going to be alot of material released

Motown has over 200 songs left in the vaults and around 7 years of footage

MJJ Productions has a wealth of material. Books that were never released, albums that were either finished and put away or projects that were never completed

concerts that have been shown... He recorded everything

i've long compared MJ to elvis for a number of reasons, and it seems on his death that it makes the comparison even closer, both dying at a reasonably early age after long spells of drug abuse and trying to reclaim past glories, and both were on the verge of bankruptcy at the point of death. whilst elvis made a lot of money, he similarly blew it on gracelands and all sorts of spending sprees. he was also warned that his spending was out of control. ironically elvis made more money after his death than whilst alive, partly due to turning gracelands into the museum, and partly due to merchandising and licensing, as well as gradual reissues. i think they should take another leaf out of elvis's book and open gracelands as a museum for the fans to visit, and whilst they've already went OTT in rereleasing the hits umpteen times, perhaps they can finally give the studio albums the expanded versions they deserve, such as 2 disc sets with the outtakes following the main album, and 12"s on the bonus disc. that was the original idea behind my playlist, but instead of sticking to 80 minute sets i thought i'd just stick it in order

OK, here's something I have ALWAYS wanted to know: The beginning of the "Way you make me feel" video has what I always considered to be a straight-up Minneapolis/Prince sound to it. The first 3 minutes you can hear it in the background and ESPECIALLY from the 2:40 to 3:00 minute mark it is full throttle prince sounding! SO, does anyone know what this is or if it's an MJ song, b-side, unreleased? Maybe it IS Prince and no one has ever revealed it yet. I've always wanted to know!!! AND I freakin loved the hell out of this song and video back in the day.

Never thought about that.

It's funny because at the moment I'm playing stuff like 'She's Out Of My Life' and 'Gone Too Soon', when I couldn't stand them when he was here.

.. Maybe as they relate to how I feel, and are complete tear jerkers especially for me. I need to get it all out, but the thing is .. when will I stop?

ANOTHER ONE .. is 'On The Line'

I did not like the Earth Song because it was sad and it blamed God for all of the problems in the earth. MJ pretty much called GOD a liar and uncaring.

I hear you SummerRain.

For me, MJ stepped away from "fluff" and addressed a very important topic. Towards the end when things are being restored is the part that got to me. Like Job got asked by the Almighty..."Grid up your loins and answer me. Where where you when...". MJ's character got an answer too. I mean I could be "reading" too much into this video.

Right now, I've been listening to

Gone Too Soon
For All Time
Superfly Sister
Rock With You
When I Come of Age
Remember The Time
The Way You Love Me
Human Nature
I'll Be There
I Can't Help It

Dont stop till u get enough, Lovely one, two master strokes of genius

Human Nature is my favourite song I just don't know when I'll be able to listen to it again.

My favorite song is from the Jackson 5 "Can You Feel It?"

Remember The Time is second.

Off The Wall was my very first album, and I remember buying it and taking it home. I must have listened to that album for about six hours straight.

Man in the Mirror is an excellent song as well, as are Black or White, Leave Me Alone, and Scream.
