I do not know how long this thread will live. cool I'm tired of these double standards mad .... why the sticky topic just about MJ? There are artists, who are popular on this forum not less than Jackson, and have sometimes to 4-5 on the first page. eek

return to the Thriller .......

It`s the perfect pop album, one of the greatest ever, but not one of my favorite in the discography of MJ.
Beat it - a favorite song on the album. wink

I'm not an MJ fan, but I love "Human Nature." No other pop artist has created a song I can say is better than that. The title track "Thriller" still scares the shit out of me, and that video too as embarassing as that is to admit.

Human Nature has always had a special place in my heart. The night he passed I was driving home from work at 6am and it was on the radio. There was no one on the road but me and MJ-nice memory and yes Thriller is still scary boxed

Getting my post in before the lockdown.

"Baby Be Mine", "Lady In My Life" are among my faves maybe because they haven't been overplayed to death. I also love "Human Nature" and "Wanna Be Startin' Something". The album is pop/r&b lite perfection. Not a bad song on there for me. No, not even "The Girl Is Mine" lol. That song always gets so much hate by fans and non-fans alike, but I think it's a cute song.

It wasn't a good choice for a lead single though.

"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart

"Human Nature" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Props to Steve Porcaro for writing and composing such a lovely song and of course Mj's vocals are just heavenly on it. So beautiful.

For the record, the "Thriller" video scares me too. As someone in their mid 20's, i'm embarrassed to say that as well but Michael as the werewolf has always scared the shit out of me.

I wasn't all that crazy about "Thriller"; but Human Nature was perfect and special. I never get tired of listening to that song. music

It reminds of something Harle said about Denise Williams hit song, Free. The arrangement, lyrics and arragement was such that most anyone playing/singing it would sound good. Miles Davis and George Howard cover of "Human Nature" bears that out.

Masterpiece from start to finish.

I remember when I was a little I wore the hell out of PYT I LOVED that song... as I grew older I grew to appreciate Human Nature. Ive always loved Baby Be Mine and Lady My Life. Michael kills vocally on those tracks... I really like how all the tracks were arranged. Starts out with a bang with Wanna Be Startin Somethin and ends with Lady In My Life... Good album.

Thriller is the greatest video nothing tops that. It has everything for it to be the greatest, epic dancing, short film, horror theme and Michael of course wink

This album was love at first listen heart It helped me understand the greatness of MJ; It's not just about the music...there's something so special about his singing. He just instantly puts you in a good mood. 'Baby Be Mine' has been my alarm song for a while now and I never get tired of it!

I mean I don't know about Prince.org but I don't know anyone in real life who wouldn't dance when Billie Jean is played XD

I really hope they invent a Time Machine before I die. Oh what would I give to go to MJ's concert and scream MichaaaeeeeL and faint!!t!! bawl

Sadly I never saw him in concert, but listening to the album Thriller there is no doubt that MJ was the best to ever do it rose

"Beat It" is epic to me. The video, the choreo that went with it, the beginning, the guitar riff/solo, the vocals, the lyrics. I can still listen for days.

I like every song on the album but that's the one song I can listen to no matter my mood.

Why?
Many people are not interested in his personal life, they don`t care about the family, etc.

Where you can discuss the music and videos? confused
It`s not fair.
Other artists sometimes have 5 threads on the first page, I don`t think MJ ever had more

Yeah but only MJ fans and maybe some Vadge fans flood the boards with stupid horseshit threads bout their stans. Yall got other sites to love your Idols this doesnt need to be one of them.

Really you aren't coming to the org. to disguss mj.
