Ben

While I loved almost all of his songs, including those on the list, my sentimental favorite will always be Ben.

Black or White

Ok, it's probably a 90s song and this is an 80s list, but that video was so amazing at the time and the lyrics are pretty telling...

Thriller

Its the best song ever! We will always remember u Micheal!
—Guest Amy

...

He's not really dead it's a publicity stunt! I'm just kidding around but that would be one heck of one wouldn't it? Anyways Billie Jean definitely should be higher but good list I agree with all songs. But I'm a 17 year old high school football player/wrestler that listens to rock, and even I like Michael's music so that's sayin something about his popularity...He will for SURE always live on.

I'LL BE THERE

THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONG THAT MICHEAL BROUGHT FORWARD
—Guest JOE

in lovin memory

I'll be there was such a great song and you gave the world so much of yourself and it did denie you of a childhood for yourself because of this world's expectations on you were heavy ,but let this last moonwalk to heaven's gate give you all that you truly need without suffering and know no pain. let it give you a wonderful new world of adventure of pirates and endless hours of joy of just being a kid. we all know you gave us so much of yourself......now you take time for you and rest in peace michael you will be truly missed...love,crissy

Well Done

This list is intelligent and well explained. Thank you so much. For my tastes, Jackson peaked with Off The Wall. As a teenager, Thriller saturated the radio for a couple years. To be honest, that album and the ones that followed, never spoke to me. I suppose I should mention that I never really cared to watch music videos, especially really long music videos. I'd put Don't Stop Til You Get Enough and Rock With You in a tie for first, if "Don't Stop..." hadn't actually hit #1 in 1979.

"Thriller"

"Thriller" is my all time favorite song ever, by any artist, so definitely my favorite Michael Jackson song. The dance is great, the video is awesome, and the song is just the best.

Can't argue

I'd rank Billie Jean higher, but I can't argue with this. Well done.
