This is not a thread about the current shit Mike is going through, or about how much of a freak he is. We all know the guy has lost his mind and is a wierdo.
This is about his MUSIC. And how good his erlier stuff was.
The only album I have actually bought of his is Thriller. But I have heard Off the Wall. I wouldn't say OtW is better, but it comes pretty damn close. Tracks like Don't Stop and Off the Wall have that cool, almost 70s-ish disco flavor to them and have awesome melodies. Then there's Rock with You, an all out classic that will have you bobbing your head and make you wanna get up and dance.
But don't get it twisted, Thriller is a masterpiece! With my favorite song being Human Nature. Billy Jean is a close second simply cuz I was transfixed by how fucking cool the video was. The BJ video just oozes with style and coolness! I wanted that exact same suit he wore with the shoes and the glowing socks. He was a straight pimp in that video! Beat it is OK but I never really warmed up to the song. It was a little too rocky for my taste. And of course we all know the Thriller video is nothing short of perfection.
I also watched Moonwalker again after not having watched it for a couple years. Damn I love that flick. A collection of the best videos from his Bad era. Speed Demon is probably my favorite video. It's so innovative and at the end when he's dancing with Bugs Bunny and then Bugs does like a hundred thousand spins and thinks he topped Mike. Then Mike goes overboard and does like a zillion spins at lightning speed as bugs looks on in disbelief. That shit was the bomb when I fist saw it.
My second favorite video is the "Annie are you Walking" video with him in the pool parlor dancing with the gansters. Damn he had some slick moves in that vid!
Anyway what is/was your favorite MJ record and song? Or are you "too cool" to acknowledge how badass Mike was back in the day?
