Michael Jackson is my favorite artist of all time. I love this man so much. He is my musical hero and he was such a sweet person. I love his entire catalogue. I even love his catalogue with his brothers especially "The Jacksons" material where MJ wrote alot of their hits. He was one of the first artists I started listening to when I was little along with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley.

I enjoy all of Michaels music but I probably would go with his 90s material as well because its more mysterious, dark, personal, raw and artistic. The albums with Quincy are artistic as well but with Michaels 90s album, he really showcased his talent as an "artist" beyond a entertainer standpoint. He showcased his skills as well on the Q albums but with his 90s albums he was in full control over the lyrics and production. He took more artistic control and was heavily involved with producing, arranging and writing his own music. Its ashame that his later works dont get as much credit as his material with Quincy. I think albums like Dangerous and HIStory have a edge over albums like Thriller and BAD.

Blood On The Dance Floor is another underrated album by him. He was very vunerable and personal on songs like Morphine and Is It Scary.

Most pop stars today wouldnt dare to take such a risk in talking about their addiction, insecurities or their public image, physical image and eccentricieties.

Dangerous is another album that is very underrated from a production and lyrical standpoint. Michael put his foot in songs like In The Closet and Cant Let Her Get Away in which he did all the musical sounds with his own mouth!! lol

Michael is the greatest entertainer ever but I think he is very underrated as an artist and songwriter.
