    As a kid it was The Love You Save.

    As an adult it is a toss up between Bad, Beat It, & She's Out Of My Life.

    To some extent I think this is generational. Most of us over 50 look on the golden days of M.J. (the 80s as a dark age of music)....we spent a lot of time listening to Reggae and Bob Marley as a 'cure' for that time. So I can't honestly say there are any M.J. songs I actually thought much of and I never bought an album.

    I realize that if you're in your early 40s or younger, that 'was' the music you grew up with and that certainly has a significant effect on one's development and appreciation as one matures. So I respect that! Even if I can't identify with it.

    The two quasi-club hits -- which I loved when I was a mobile DJ -- "In the Closet" and "Smooth Criminal."

    I also happen to be one of those people who liked "Human Nature"...:cool:

    I'm not into my 50s (getting close) and, yep, the 80s were considered to be the dark age of music. Especially the, say, 82 through 88 period. My initial reaction to this thread title was "None."

    Of personal interest, my two late teenage children has identified music from the late 60s through the early 80s as real artestry. They picked up on this opinion on their own and that music is being widely played on college campuses. On the other hand, they have introduced me to some really good modern stuff. Rammstein from Germany as an example. Jackson never gets mentioned by them.

    I have heard and kept an open mind about Jackson. MHO has not changed. Truthfully, I think Madonna is a better artist from the period. She sings better and has better lyrics, even if she did not compose them from scratch.

    I think I'm going to have to disagree with this statement. Madonna has always been slammed for her lack of singing chops. In fact, it wasn't until Ray of Light that people started to take her vocals remotely seriously.
    Michael Jackson on the other hand? Listen closely to Wanna Be Startin Something and tell me just how many singers could pull that off. Few, if any.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
