"Beat It" is higher in the list.

Mine, I think, would be

1) Beat It
2) Give into Me
3) Another Part of Me
4) Get On The Floor
5) Smooth Criminal

I don't know them very well, but I liked the cover. Listen to them before you say anything too bad, though.

Really? I think somewhere on that list for me would be "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "The Way You Make Me Feel."

Also, "Whatever Happens" from the newest album, "Invincible."

It's a song he did with Carlos Santana.

Nothing off Invincible really stood out for me but it's not the really terrible album it was made out to be in my opinion. If im honest I used to think so though.

Dont Stop Til You Get Enough and The Way You Make Me Feel are bth good songs but they wouldnt make my top 5. Possibly not even my top 10. Workin' Day and Night, Jam, Why You Wanna Trip On Me, Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground), Can You Feel It and Blame it on the Boogie would be there or there abouts.

It's not terrible at all. There is NO way that it surpass any of the other albums, in my opinion. But it was an amazing album for me... one that I thoroughly enjoyed.

It was the album that I was old enough to buy on my own, sit down and listen to each song. I loved Michaeal Jackson's work already, but I was able to enjoy it as music of my generation rather than music my parents told me I was really able to experience.

Dangerous was the first album I ever owned and that was released when I was 7 years old. HIStory for me was really the album of his that I should have had the same kind of connection with because I was the right age. I seem to remember I used to quite like it too at the time but I cant listen to it now.

Because you listened to it so much?

There most definitely is such thing as album burnout...
