WHOA!
I like all the songs on there, I really could've picked any of the 2 songs. There isn't that much of a difference to me. Looks like one of my favorites are going to be voted off this round though (Don't Stop or Wanna Be Starting Something). I do think Thriller (the song) is a little overrated though. The video is fantastic, but without that video I wonder how successful the song would've been. Human Nature is a great song too, in my top 5.
Re: Michael Jackson Elimination Round 6
Agreed. Thriller is VASTLY overrated imo. Great album, but overrated to death. I'd take Bad & Dangerous over it. And there's even a few tracks on HIStory, that would look like epic's on Thriller.
Don't get me wrong. Thriller is a fantastic album, songs like Billie Jean, Thriller, Beat It, are total classics.
But when you take songs like Stranger In Moscow, and put it together with Baby Be Mine... it makes Baby look like a hunk of monkey shit.
I've always liked the 'off' Michael tracks, that alot don't pay attention to.
I think on Thriller, P.Y.T. is one of the best. On Bad, Another Part of Me. Dangerous, Keep The Faith. HIStory, Stranger In Moscow. Blood On The Dance Floor, the song, is one his absolute best. Invincible, You Are My Life.
I always like the B-sides, no one else thinks of.
Re: Michael Jackson Elimination Round 6
In fairness to "Thriller" how can it not be considered overrated? It's the best selling album of all time, no one could possibly say it's underrated. I still think it's a fantastic album but MJ was at his peak at that time so it's possible he could've released "Bad" or "Dangerous" at that time and they would've been just as successful.
