    Top 5 Michael Jackson HITS

    I hope this subject will fit with this forum even if I know that 95% of the songs of Michael are not disco, I really didn't know where to place it ...

    Michael Jackson is for me the biggest artist of the second half of the 20th century, after Candi Staton ;) ( maybe some of you are going to think I'm crazy) and I'd like to know if he's well percieved by you old men :) ....

    My top 5 is:

    1-Billie Jean
    2-Don't stop till you get enough
    3-Rockwell feat. Michael Jackson : Somebody's watchin me
    4-Thriller
    5-Smooth Criminal
    I\'m a Victim ( of th very Song I sing )

    I'd say:
    1. Baby Be Mine (one of Rod Tempertons best songs ever!)
    2. Rock With You
    3. Thriller
    4. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
    5. Blame It On The Boogie (with The Jacksons)
    There was life after disco!!

    1. Thriller
    2. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
    3. Shake Your Body Down to the Ground (with The Jacksons)
    4. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
    5. I Want You Back (with The Jackson 5ive)

    Too bad he's dysfunctional (thanks mostly to Dad :evil: ). He has or had the talent and could still be viable in the music industry.

    One thing about Jacko, you won't find much of his stuff on compilations (relatively speaking).

    1). Thriller possibly the most perfect piece of dance music ever made. 122 bpm, great intro with the most dramatic horn entry to really kick it off, strong melody, no break, cold end, playable in its entirety.
    2). Billie Jean What an hypnotic bassline.
    3). Don't stop 'til you get enough when released, exactly the right record for the moment.
    4). Blame it on the boogie such a happy, infectious record.
    5). Skywriter When released this was such a departure for the Jackson 5 and for me it more or less changed everything. Before it they were bubblegum, after.........

    Well I'll disagree about Thriller. When I first heard Jacko was recording a song with that title...I got soooo excited (visions of another "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough"-type masterpiece danced in my head)--BUT when I finally heard it, I was disappointed. It's OK...but all that "creature-feature" stuff never really grooved me. Ditto the video.

    Now my MJ solo-career faves would be:

    1) "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" (BRILLIANT!!!--how could you NOT wanna dance to it?)
    2) "Billie Jean" - another absolute CLASSIC & HISTORIC--the song/video that broke the MTV color barrier!!!
    3) "Beat It" --Dance Rock of the highest echelon.
    4) "The Way You Make Me Feel" - My fave of the post-"Thriller" output.
    5) "Rock With You" - soooo cool and soooo smooth and sooo sexy--Just Perfect.

    With the Jacksons:

    1) "Can You Feel It"
    2) "Shake Your Body Down (To The Ground)"
    3) "Blame It On The Boogie"
    4) "Walk Right Now"
    5) "State Of Shock" w/ Mick Jagger (yeah, I LIKED it!!!!) :P

    With The Jackson 5:
    1) "I Want You Back"
    2) "The Love You Save"
    3) "Forever Came Today"
    4) "Dancing Machine"
    5) "Hum Along And Dance"

    Those are best dancers, IMHO.

    Duh. I don't understand. Maybe I only understand sleaze. I was born that way I guess. :roll:

    Or maybe I have a sense of humor??? Eh?????

    Michael Jackson may be a little bit .......odd. :-? - but he is a very talented person, and one of my favorites. With that kind of money he can afford to be a little odd. :D

    "Thriller"
    "The way you make me feel"
    "Billie Jean"
    "Don't stop till you get enough"

    but my number one is when he was with the Jacksons...
    "Walk right now"
    super song..good music. 8)
    \"Dancing the night away\", forever!!!
    Don\'t give up the dance.

    Well, my favourite tracks By MJ & his brothers are all the tracks from 'Off The Wall' & 'Triumph' LPs (both classic, complete & totally brilliant LPs IMO). The 'Thriller' LP was always an inferior 'Off The Wall mark 2' to my ears. I also loved 'Ease on down The Road' from '78 which was from 'The Wiz' (the only good thing to come from this musical I feel!)
    ...ya gotta beat the street......

    I never compare these two songs. To me, they're both masterpieces. That bassline in Thriller is a killer.

    With The Jackson 5:
    3) "Forever Came Today"
    How could I forget this :oops: . Replace I Want You Back and insert...

    I think the Bad CD is even BETTER then THriller with Leave Me Alone the best track off that disc.

    Beat It is IMO the nbest track on THriller.

    As for Jackson stuff the REMIX version of shake your body is the best but I do notmlike the idea of having tho spend $30 + to get an import CD when they could easily have had it as an added track on Destiny (or imo replace the orginal album track with the 12")

    I think that two great remix of thriller could be in this top 5 too :

    The Ben Liebrand mix, which sounds really disco to me, uses the laugh of the end during 2 or 3 minutes and ....

    the Saturday Nite Live - Thriller, which is a house song, released on the french label Colorz (20000st) in 2000.


    If you never listened to these two tracks, it's nime to do it

    My top 5 were:

    1 Let me Show You - a #1 smash from that magic summer of '77 - a wonderful record!
    2 Heartbreak Hotel - glorious midtempo number - the Jacksons at their most mature
    3 Off The Wall
    4 Blame It On The Boogie (disco remix)
    5 Billie Jean - ditto Quinny - a killer bass line!

    Regarding the debate on the 2 Lps Thriller vs Off The Wall I would pick Off The Wall anytime. I agree with Steely.

    I remember when Thriller was released in the US - it was available in the UK on US import for around 6 weeks before it got a UK release. The soul magazines gave an honest view saying that it was not as good as Thriller. It did not sell very well on import. It only took off when it got a UK release and Billie Jean was released as the single and the popular press went hysterical about it - I remember The Sun saying what a fantastic LP it was....

    No, Off The Wall was a much better all-round album, IMHO!
    If it moves - funk it!!
