since the ban started MJ threads are canceled (thread on Robson has been a week here .... and no one cares )

let's make a top 10 MJ songs

1. Give In To Me
2. Earth Song
3. Beat It
4. Smooth Criminal
5. They Don `t Care About Us
6. Get On The Floor
7. Dirty Diana
8. One Day In Your Life
9. Whatever Happens
10. Liberian Girl

I wonder which one thread will die first: this one about the music or the one about the scandal.

I hope this thread isn't the one that dies first: I'm more interested in his amazing music than in the other issues.

So, my list will go in before the lock!:

Chronologically:

1. Ben

2. One Day In Your Life

3. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

4. I Can't Help It

5. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

6. P.Y.T.

7. Man In The Mirror

8. Why You Wanna Trip On Me?

9. Dangerous

10. Money

I know ... it is a protest
the thread about the fantasies of Wade Robson's there and no one cares.
or we can only discuss personal problems of MJ, but not his music ....

In addition, the rules quote: "Music: Non-Prince is forum to discuss music, albums, tours, songs instruments by musicians entertainers singers (non 'related' to Prince ie (ex) band members (ex) protege members

Any gossip, lifestyle, domestic issues, general discussion of an entertainer musician or singer that isn't about their music, albums, tours, songs, instruments should be posted in the General Discussion section "

Thanks, Javi, a lovely list, as always.

Another Part of Me

Bad

Scream

Beat It

Blood on the Dancefloor

Streetwalker

Come Together

Rock With You

They were quick to ban the other one I started today lol lets see how fast they get rid of this one but oddly ignore the MJ related thread that has existed for almost a week

There is no such thing as TOP 10 MJ song but here it goes anyway for thread purposes

Leave Me Alone

Get On The Floor

Liberian Girl

Cant Let Her Get Away

Break Of Dawn

In The Closet

Baby Be Mine

Off The Wall

Shes Drives Me Wild

Money

Love it

Beat the commies

1.Wanna Be Starting Something

2.Don't Stop Til You get it UP

3.Billie Jean

4.Workin Day and Night

5.Get On the floor

6.P.Y.T

7.Off The Wall

8.Bad

9.Speed Demon

10.The Way You make you feel

Bonus-Black or White

Huge fan of MJ/Quincy production

MJ>>>>>purple majesty

Changes all the time...

But for today:

1. Music & Me

2. Who Is It

3. Morphine

4. You Are There

5. Don't Stop Til You Get Enough

6. Billie Jean

7. Smooth Criminal

8. Walk Right Now

9. Earth Song

10. One Day In Your Life

To be honest, that was really, really difficult. Almost futile. The man has a near perfect back catalogue. How are you supposed to choose between a genius piece of work and a masterpiece?

Was jamming to the Bad 25 bonus disc only yesterday. There's some great stuff on there, Al Capone, I'm So Blue, Abortion Papers, Price of Fame.... MJ's unreleased songs are stronger than most artists biggest hits.

1.Off The Wall

10.Human Nature

as you can see,I really,really,really love the Off The Wall album

and I'm not ...
tried many times fall in love, but without result.
I LOVE Get On The Floor
and I like Don`t Stop ..., Off The Wall and Working Day And Night, but that's it.
Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, History, even Triumph I like more.

critics praised the album up to the heavens, I have not seen one not 5 * Review, but I just can not understand what's so special about this album ....
it is not even the best R&B/disco album, IMHO.

Maybe it's something wrong with me...

--------------------

If based on your list, his career began and ended at the age of 20 .... poor guy .... 40 years spent in vain.

.

PS I'm glad that so many fans of Get On the floor here.
very underrated and unknown to the general public track.

lady in my life

remember the time

heal the world

rock with you

billie jean

human nature

baby be mine

get on the floor

dirty diana

she drives me wild

As others have said, it's such a completely impossible job, you might as well not bother with numbers. So I won't.

Baby Be Mine

One Day In Your Life

P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)

The Lady In My Life

Off The Wall

WBSS

Another Part Of Me

Man In The Mirror

Music and Me

Beat It

in no order;

Workin Day and Night

Human Nature

Beat It

Liberian Girl

State Of Shock

Wanna Be Startin Somethin

They Don't Care About Us

Earth Song

We've Had Enough

Lady In My Life

"Billie Jean" is a phenomenal song.

It's impossible to have 10 top MJ songs but here are some.

Stranger in Moscow

Leave me alone

liberian girl

another part of me

workin day n night

i cant help it

who is it

give in to me

blood on the dancefloor

earth song

I forgot about They Don't Care About Us. Undoubtedly one of his most powerful, angry songs.

Wow, was this thread really neccessary? This is kinda pushing it and doesn't really need an own thread. But that said and since I like pissing of the mod here, I have to comment too. Like someone said. It is futile to come up with a Top 10, as it does injustice to all the songs not mentioned (they are all close anyway) and to come up with numbers is even more futile, as it changes all the time. But had I name a Top 10 it would look something like this:

Is it scary
Billie Jean
Give in to me
Whatever happens
Scream
I wanna be where you are
Off the wall
Lady in my life
Man in the mirror
Music and me

I did this years ago... I should probably revisit it, but here's the old version:

1. I Wanna Be Where You Are

2. Human Nature

3. Billie Jean

4. Remember the Time

5. Stranger in Moscow

6. Man in the Mirror

7. You Can't Win

8. Rock With You

9. P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)

[Say Say Say]

10. Beat It

Off The Wall is a PERFECT album from beginning to end.I can't believe that you only like three songs on it! "Rock With You" is one of MJ's most charming singles.....it's breezy and infectious,with a killer chorus/hook."I Can't Help It" is just heavenly,with moody,haunting synths and excellent lyrics by Stevie Wonder."It's The Falling In Love" is midtempo disco at its finest.The classic "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" is a dancefloor favorite that never gets old.Even the pop-flavored tunes on this album ("Girlfriend" and "She's Out Of My Life") shine brightly and the last track "Burn This Disco Out" is a relentless,take-no-prisoners disco/funk masterpiece.Seriously,you need to listen to this album again if you don't see why so many people love it!

1. The lady in my life

2. I can't help it

3. butterflies

4. liberian girl

5. beat it

i'm bored....

6. Human nature

7. farewell my summer love

8. give in to me

9. off the wall

10. baby be mine
