What's Michael Jackson's best song?

Not open for further replies.
Billie Jean
Ghosts (the movie he made for this was just awkward, but the single is fatastic)
Morphine (another great piece from Blood on the Dance floor, though was he telling us something about his morphine addition?)
Smooth Criminal
Another part of Me
Man in the Mirror
Rock with you
Thriller
 
Best song is tough....

Maybe Off The Wall, Rock With You, We've Got a Good Thing Going, Workin' Day and Night.

Off The Wall is his best album though, no doubt about that.
 
Probably Human Nature, but Man In The Mirror and PYT are right there.

I am Surprised Thriller is a lot of peoples favorite. Other than a great video, the song itself ranks below a lot of great Jackson songs. To me it's the worse song on the album, but that album is just great. Easily my favorite Jackson album.
 
Best Song: Human Nature
Best Album: Thriller

P.Y.T. is overrated underrated. Like it should get more play time but it's also not THAT good.
 
It is almost impossible without like a top 10 that can all count as 1st place, but Human Nature tends to be my go-to when I want to listen to Michael Jackson.
 
My favorite song is Wanna Be Where You Are. Young Mike sounded much better than White Mike.

I think Thriller is a good album but has been overrated.
 
I've gone through this debate with myself and friend alot.

and I always go back to....

Also, what's his best album.

You can pick a Jackson 5 song.

Going with the obvious choice Thriller for album and Rock My World for song, with Off the Wall and Rock With You as close seconds.

Oh and don't say "none of them" or make a molestation joke. It's not at all clever.

There are no good MJ songs. Love yourself and listen to Prince.
 
Top favorite songs:

1. Thriller
2. Beat It
3. Man in the Mirror
4. Off the Wall
5. Smooth Criminal

Favorite Album: Thriller

It was really hard to choose the songs. I only chose the ones I listen to the most on my ipod.
 
Favorite album is...well, its either Off the Wall or Thriller. Between the two of them is the perfect pop record.

Bad is like Thriller 2.0, the only way you could realistically follow up is just repeating the same formula. Its not as good, but its got a lotta craft. Dangerous' Teddy Riley/New Jack Swing has probably dated the worst, but I also think its consistently a stronger album than Bad and tends to get forgotten cuz it came at a time where Grunge was taking over the charts. HIStory tends to get really underplayed cuz it was a bunch of new tracks sneaked under a Greatest Hits collection, but Stranger in Moscow brehs. Invincible and Xscape are both solid albums, the latter rather surprisingly.
