It's kinda useless but let's do it anyway. If you could choose some songs of the same songwriters that are on OTW from around 1979, how would it look like?
You gotta try to use ONE Stevie, ONE Macca, THREE Rod, THREE MJ compositions (although you gotta have to let space for MJ's songs since tehy don't exist).

1.) ----
2.) Boogie Nights (Rod T.)
3.) ----
4.) ----
5.) Too Hot Too Handle (Rod T.)
6.) Arrow Through Me (McCartney)
7.) ----
8.) I Love The Nearness Of You (S. Wonder)
9.) ---
10.) The Groove Line


I mean, imagine that! That would be a great album as well (considering MJs songs would be great too).!!

no really, it would be a good album so far. Imagien singing Michael Jackson Aroow Through Me. Would be teh perfect key and stuff for him.

oh that's what you mean! different songs written by the same people that could have been interpreted by MJ.

we need another Carole Bayer Sager banger on there.

I don't think I could use the same songwriters but I will name songs that remind me of off the wall tracks and list them

I Wanna Be Your Lover-Prince
Ohh It's Kind of Crazy-Soul Decision
Got To Give Up-Marvin Gaye
Stomp-Brothers Johnson
Hang On To Your Love-Sade

All That I Can Say-Mary J.Blige

jep exactly. I want to prove that it would have been possible in 1979 (if all the other writers would have provided their songs to Michael) to release a second Off The Wall.
I think Rods songs are soo strong again! Michael would have killed to have Boogie Nights I swear. But of course Rodney wrote it before he met Michael.
