HUGELY UNDERATED MICHEAL JACKSON SONGS! - I wanna know what everyone else thinks.

Hi All.

I've been a huge Micheal Jackson fan all my life ... as with other artists often the hits are not always the best representation of his work.


I feel with Micheal sometimes his simple greatness like his songwriting and perfect and effortless voice is understated and his persona and performing skills overshadow his natural musical talents.

Everytime I hear him its like the first time:


I just can stop loving you.

Off the wall

Heaven can wait

Liberian Girl

Another part of me

I cant let her get away

WHO IS IT

Its the falling in love

Stranger in Moscow

Money - I love it when hes angry.

Blood on the dance floor

Superfly sister

Lovely one

So much more I can think of .....

What do u guys think?



I'just cant stop loving you.

I've never heard of most of these songs - I don't know about them being underated - just kinda unknown.

Your thread is probably going to be locked. We're supposed to discuss everything MJ here: http://prince.org/msg/8/327206

As for the songs you mentioned, they are not unknown or underrated to most real fans. "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" was a number one hit.

hated it


Off the wall
dancing jig
Love this song...reminds me of Boogie Nights by Heatwave. Same producer and same bass track almost.

Heaven can wait

This ma JAYM!

Liberian Girl

its good, but played out in my opinion

Another part of me

This song is very funky...especially live.

I cant let her get away

If this is not probably one of the best songs on Dangerous I dont know what is. The adlibs are rediculous and so is the breakdown.

WHO IS IT

It's coo...but a bit long for it's own good to me. The lyrics are one of his best

Its the falling in love
Aiiiight

Stranger in Moscow
Aiiiight...another one of his best songwriting though.

Money - I love it when hes angry.

Love this song. Almost Princey in a way...very secretive experiemntal and subdued.


Blood on the dance floor

It's coo...an upgrade of Smooth Criminal....the only thing I dont like about the song is the part leading up to the chorus

Superfly sister

Its very demo like and long....but the lyrics are cool.

Lovely one
dancing jig

Heeey! Say you are!!! I cant wait through that song just to get to that part!

Album plays and love for vinyl records.

"Off The Wall" should remind u of "Boogie Nights". Rob Temperton wrote both of them. He also wrote "Thriller", "Baby Be Mine", and "Rock With You" for MJ.

I think a lot of these songs are not underrated, especially "stranger", "who is it" and "Liberian girl". "Another part of me" is the best song of Bad by the way! cool

It's my favorite, but it could be argued.

but seriousy michael has alot of gems going back to the jackson 5 days that peeps don't know about. i like his popular songs to but people play them out to death which makes me appreciate the lesser known songs more.
