Destiny, which was released as The Jacksons is a great album. And if you like that then I would at least check out Off The Wall if you haven't already.

Ok, I've finally gotten around to hearing Bad in its entirety and I'd say it's twice as good as Thriller. I feel like 90% of the songs on it were either released as singles or have (had) the potential to be. Thriller seems like a more of a crossover record with much more straight up r'n'b whilst Bad is just pure pop (which is obviously more to my liking). Plus, I'm thinking Smooth Criminal might be the best thing he's ever recorded?

downloaded some album of his greatest music

i had no idea it was the Jacksons who done Blame It On The Boogie & Dont Stop Till You Get Enough, owell you learn something new everyday...

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough was on Off The Wall, but the Jacksons did perform it live.

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough is actually a damn punchy, funky song... hats off to him... great song!

Smooth Criminal has always been one of my favourites by him. ^_^

smooth criminal has to be the the top 5 alongside thriller & billie jean

maybe beat it would make it in with the skin of its teeth.

I've never really been a big fan of "Billie Jean."

"Beat It" is higher in the list.

Smooth criminal was pretty decent... and as useless as Alien Ant Farm was as a band... they did a pretty decent cover it... but I guess the songwriting was done for them... their own work more than likely sucks...
