Michael Jackson - what was your favourite song?

Post by alowe »

Aside from any opinions on the man, he did make a lot of music. So in celebration of Michael the musician and artist, what was your favourite song (or songs) by Michael?

To get the ball rolling (not that it'll need help):

I like most of Michael's music but the one in my head now is:
Speed Demon

and i also liked:
Earth Song
It's a fine line, but someone has to walk it.

Oh yes, i grew up in the late 80s and up.

I remember Beat it, with the eddie van halen guitar solo. Thriller was the best. Dancing in that video is an interesting flash from the past.

EDIT: Oh yes! And billie jean, i actually heard that song the other day.

Smooth criminal. I like Thriller, but at school dances when they play it, NO ONE knows the actual dance except for me, and I barley know it. It just bothers me.
Well wrap me around your neck and call me a pedant.

I'm personally a fan of "Love, Take Me Down To The Streets".
No...wait...that's by Wings.

My bad...Billie Jean, I suppose...
That or the Smooth Criminal (its music video is as good or better as Thriller in its own right).
I missed it here.

ooh yes, i like that remix too.

i also like michael's singing when he was in jackson 5. i used to sing a lot when i was yonger and can really appreciate just what a gift he had to be able to do half the stuff he did.
