10 Favorite Michael Jackson songs Despite what everybody says or thinks, Michael was and still is one of the biggest music innovators in our time. And even though his personal life is a total mess, the music he's brought us are true treasures. And I'm going to list my all time faves from The King of Pop over the years. They are:
1. Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough 2. Man In The Mirror 3. Billie Jean 4. You Are Not Alone 5. Lady In My Life 6. Got To Be There 7. Say, Say, Say(with Sir Paul McCartney) 8. Thriller 9. Smooth Criminal 10. Working Day and Night What does your list look like? Peace and be wild! | |

I'm a musician myself and couldn't fully appreciate mj to the fullest without all this stuff. Since I was a kid I would go through periods of listening to mj constantly(through the videos and the 90's albums) and then not paying attention for sometime, but once I actually bought the albums from the 70's and 80's including j5, instead of just knowing the epic singles, it took my fandom to a whole other level and I am the proud owner of close to 200 CD's, records etc. of michael jackson, janet jackson, j5 and jacksons [Edited 4/10/07 9:44am] [Edited 4/10/07 9:45am] [Edited 4/10/07 9:47am] | |
