In remembrance of Michael Jackson who passed yesterday, I thought I’d do a Top 5 with my favorite MJ songs of all time. I grew up singing and dancing to Michael Jackson, I have a lot of respect for his music ability and a lot of sadness for how he lived his life.
1. Thriller
Where else is there to start. The best music video of all time, an incredible song and it gave me nightmares when I was a kid, but I loved it.
2. Smooth Criminal
Another epic video, will anyone ever be able to do music videos like this guy again? I doubt it. Great song as well, I can always jam to this song.
3. Billie Jean
Man I can remember dancing to this song in my room. This video always tripped me out, I still don’t think I really get it. But talk about epic, sidewalk lighting up, I mean…brilliant. I can’t say enough about his sense of melody, it’s incredible.
4. Dirty Diana
I’ve never been in a concert atmosphere like this and I really wonder if I’ll ever have the opportunity in my life to experience it. And no I’m not going into the Jonas brothers teenage mosh pit.
5. Beat It
This was back in the day when gangs just had break dancing battles to settle turf wars. Simpler times.
Farewell Michael, you inspired me as a kid and I’m not sure this world will ever see or hear anyone quite like you again.
Folks what are your Top 5 MJ tunes?

Mine as well!! Those ARE the top five…IMHO
OK My top 5 looks like this-
#1 "Rock with you"
#2 "Don't stop till you get enough"
#3 "Smooth Criminal"
#4 "BAD"
#5 "The way you make me feel"
I like The Way You Make Me Feel too, but thought it was a little sissy la la to put in the top 5.
This is a hard one…. every time i see/hear another MJ jam Im like, "oh THAT is my favorite"! But at the moment it goes something like this:
1. P.Y.T
2. The way you make me feel
3. Rock with you
4. Billy Jean
5. Beat it/Dirty Diana/Thriller/Butterflies/Scream/…
1. PYT
2. Man in mirror
3. Rock wit you
4. Dirty Diana
5. Say Say Say W/ Paul McCartney
I thought there was no wrong answer to this question, but Mark…"Say Say Say" is the wrong answer.
1. Scream
2. Thriller
3. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
4. Billy Jean
5. Leave Me Alone
1. Billy Jean(unbelievable back-beat)…unbelievable, maybe the best of all time.
2. Beat it(Eddie V guitar solo right?)
3. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough(Mama-say-mama-say…)
4. Black & White
BUT really have to say I like QUINCY JONES for the MJ sound… course QJ didn't teach him to moonwalk and grab his crotch.
we can only hope Quincy didn't teach Michael to grab his crotch.
