I don't much like Dirty Diana, either. I think it's okay but no great shakes.

It was Steve Stevens (from Billy Idol's band). And for the record, I think Dirty Diana is a good song. An obvious attempt at creating another Billie Jean, but I still think it's good. And anyone who's giving Bad or Dangerous better reviews than Thriller or Off the Wall needs to lay off the weed



biggrin

I grew up on "dangerous" and "bad", particually "dangerous"....thats why I way prefer it over the earlier solo stuff!


"dangerous" is edgy, funky, sappy and rockin' all into one.

You like Dangerous cuz it sounds more New Jack. wink I like it, and I like Bad, but for me they don't compare to the two albums that preceded them.

In actual fact, i think dangerous is his best album!

otw yes yes yes yes yes

thriller yes yes yes

bad yes yes yes yes

dangerous yes yes yes yes yes

history yes yes yes

invincible yes yes yes yes

i gave history three stars because it has the most filler on it but it does contain some of his best work , including all time best like, "stranger in moscow", "earth song", "scream"

scale of 1.0-5.0

(1979)Off The Wall 5.0
(1982)Thriller 5.0
(1987)Bad 5.0
(1991)Dangerous 4.5
(1995)History 3.5
(1997)Blood On The Dancefloor 2.0
(2001)Invincible 3.75

As far as Im concerned MJ's 1st 3 adult solo albums were perfect albums. I adore every one of those songs.

HIStory is by far his greatest record.

People call it too whiney and self-indulgent. I'm sorry but (assuming he really IS innocent) if anybody has the right to a whine it's Michael Jackson.

He pours his heart out onto this record and it is by far his most personal and moving album to date.

His vocals in They Don't Care About Us... where else have you heard a song with more intense anger? He is seriously pissed off and you really hear his pain. That awesome drum beat, with the layered strings... it still sounds fresh even today - ten years on.

Money is a truly under-rated gem. The track is so richly layered. Listen to it on headphones... there's so many hidden parts. I love the bit at the end as the chorus is building to a climax and he's shouting "Getty, Getty, GETTY, GETTY". Very subtle track, with some of his best lyrics.

Other notable highlights for me include the wonderfully eery Little Susie, the rocking D.S. (man, Slash's guitar on that one is hot!) and the funky Tabloid Junkie.

Over-blown? Probably. Self-indulgent? Understandably so. His best album to date? Definately.
