I can't honestly say I was a huge fan of his music (though I admit his talent was immense), but I did like "Man in the Mirror" a lot, and much of his stuff with the Jackson Five.

the songs on the invincible album from 2003 were the weakest from MJ. compared to bad, thriller and off the wall, it just didn't fare well at all. it was a massive commercial flop. other than that, he has done incredibly well musically.

Yeah, it's a shame his finances are in such "shambles" despite what he was worth at one time.

My fave MJ songs -

1)Human Nature
2)She's Out of my Life
3)Shake Your Body(Down to the Ground)
4)Dirty Diana
5)Smooth Criminal(and IMO Alien Ant Farm didn't do a bad job covering this song, either!!)
6)Bad
7)Beat It
8)Wanna Be Starting Something
9)PYT
10)Thriller
11)Rock with you
12)Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
13)Leave Me Alone

Schmoopie · 06-28-2009, 05:23 AM

I'm glad this was posted, because I was going to start one myself in the next few days:

Mine are:

1-Beat It (VERY favorite!)
2-Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
3-Remember The Time
4-PYT
5-Thriller
6-Rock With You
7-Shake Your Body Down To The Ground
8-Billie Jean
9-The Way You Make Me Feel
10-Don't Stop Till You Get Enough

Thanks for all of your lists! I made a Michael Jackson playlist on Youtube for myself and I realized I had forgotten a couple of songs!

JulieSomoski · 06-28-2009, 02:53 PM

1. Bad
2. Man in the Mirror
3. Billie Jean
4. Remember the Time
5. Black or White
6. The Way You Make Me Feel
7. Beat It
8. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough

These 15 are by far my favorite, but there are so many other great Michael Jackson songs. And then of course, there's the songs with the Jackson 5 I also love - I'll Be There, I Want You Back, ABC, Never Can Say Goodbye, and so many more.

EmoJoe · 06-28-2009, 04:32 PM

1. Heal the World (one of his most unappreciated songs if you ask me...something about this song is just really moving to me, ive liked it since i was little kid).
2. Billie Jean (the first song i remember liking...as in like, first song ever)
3. Black or White
4. Man in the Mirror
5. Beat It
6. Will You Be There
7. Who Is It
8. The Way You Make Me Feel
9. Remember the Time
10. P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)

he had so many great songs though.

as for Jackson 5...i loved ABC, I Want You Back, Rockin' Robin, and I'll Be There the most.
