Your top 25 Michael Jackson songs of all time

I would like all you MJ fans to list 25 of your favorite songs from the KOP on this particular topic. Please if you will list on the solo songs, none from J5 or the Jacksons. I'm saving that topic for another day. If you do insist on listing Jacksons' songs I will declare your list ineligible and won't be noticed by me on this subject. So please only solo songs.THANK YOU! By the way, I do have one exception. Since Michael co-wrote and performed on the song "We Are The World", I do consider this a solo project (although he's with many artist) and can be listed on the countdown. Now here's my list:

1. Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough
2. Man In The Mirror
3. Billie Jean
4. Lady In My Life
5. Smooth Criminal
6. Say, Say, Say w/ Paul McCartney
7. Remember The Time
8. Rock With You
9. Beat It
10. The Way You Make Me Feel
11. Got To Be There
12. You Are Not Alone
13. Butterflies
14. I Can't Help It
15. Thriller
16. Dirty Diana
17. We Are The World-USA For Africa
18. Wanna Be Startin' Something
19. Bad
20. Working Day And Night
21. Will You Be There
22. Off The Wall
23. Human Nature
24. I Can't Let Her Get Away
25. Break Of Dawn

3 Honorable mentions (good songs that just miss the cut):
You Rock My World
Black And White
Just A Little Bit Of You
Peace and be wild!

Most of the HIStory and Invincible tracks have not been mentioned. And believe it or not, some tracks on the Bad and Dangerous albums have not been mentioned either.

While several orgers have shown love for his Motown solo work, a lot of it still has not been listed.

Whatever, I was bored, so I decided to count up how many songs were listed from each album to see what MJ albums the org liked best. I didn't double check, so I may have miscounted it a bit. But this is what I have.

1st - Dangerous
2nd - Thriller
3rd - Off The Wall
4th - Bad
5th - HIStory
6th - Invincible
7th - Other (unreleased, demo, rarities and such)
8th - Motown (Got to Be There, Ben, Music & Me and Forever Michael)
9th - Blood on the Dance Floor

Since I only like his Off The Wall album, my list would be almost nonexistant. Therefore, I'm including songs from the Jacksons era. And if this seems like I'm cheating a bit, too bad. There's nothing you can guys can really do about it,
you buncha nerds.

I think a lot of people feel this way about Michael's music. I am too lazy to make any list longer than 10 titles, but if I did I would practically put down most of OFF The WALL album and most of THRILLER and all the rest of the songs will have to come from the Jacksons/J5 era.

Its amazing how he recorded DESTINY and TRIUMPH either side of OFF THE WALL and THRILLER all in space of 4 years. It was his most prolific period, producing classic after classic with his brothers and as a solo artist.

It's ashame after that he only recorded an album every 5 years full over-produced, bland pop.

Sorry Illusrtator, but I specifically said no Jackons or J5 songs included on this list. So i consider your list disqualified! Despite your reasons on this subject I do have mine. I told you I will pull a separate list for Jacksons songs and you didn't acknowledge my wishes so to everyone else this list is considered ineligible. Thank You!
Peace and be wild!

There are a number of Michael Jackson solo songs that are excellent. From Motown to Epic. More than 25 for sure.
