Mine are "Human Nature" "P.Y.T", ""Dirty Diana", "Remember The Time", "You Rock My World" "Heaven Can Wait", and "Butterflies". Yep, I was pretty much a big fan of his music. He's probably moonwalking up in heaven right now.

I like his music from the 80's and early 90's.
My favorite songs of his are "Thriller", "Beat It", "Bad", "Billie Jean", "Another Part of Me", "Smooth Criminal", "Heal the World", and "Liberian Girl".

I really like "Thriller" and "Bad". But I'll listen to any of his music if I hear it.

We are the world and Man in the Mirror are my favorites. I know he did not sing We are the World alone but he did write it.

Umm...maybe PYT. And I like Vincent Price's part in Thriller too.

My mother loves "Man In The Mirror" because of its message, and she also thinks "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" is a beautiful love song. But her favourite Michael Jackson songs are the ones he sung with the Jackson Five.

About a month ago, when the TV stations and radio stations were buzzing with Jackson memorial shows and the like, a music video channel was playing his videos, and 'Rock With You' came on, and my mother commented that his voice and face were both still excellent at that point... I think she didn't really care much for the 'Off The Wall' album when it first came out, though.

I don't own 'Off The Wall', but for a while now, the singles that came off that album have been my favourite MJ songs,. I think 'Rock With You' is my current favourite. I used to prefer 'Off The Wall', which I still love.

I am also partial to 'Remember The Time' and 'Human Nature'.

i liked "Ben" about a rat the best.

my second favorite is "keep the faith".
it is very well written and arranged and performed. the choral arrangements are excellent

i do not like much michael jackson stuff but this particular song i think is very very good.

it is something i also think natively so i identify with it.
it was not perceived by the masses to be among his "great hits", but i think it was his second greatest "hit" (in my private world).

B9,

You're right, Keep the Faith is underrated :) I'm a big fan so like all of his stuff, but my faves would have to be:

Smooth Criminal: for the arrangement, singing, dancing, choreography and video: The whole package!
Billie Jean: Bass line
Man in the Mirror: lyrics and message
Bad: I just love it!
Will you be there: very emotional, well written

I need to stop before i go on all night :D


Peace

Man in the Mirror was probably the first song I was conciously obsessed with as a kid. I used to have it on repeat for hours, it was driving my parents bonkers, but I just kept on and on about how cool it is and what the lyrics meant lol
