Top 5 Best Michael Jackson songs

[kcdawg13]

I've been on a Michael Jackson run lately, whatever you may feel about him as a person it's no doubt his legacy is incredible just in terms of sheer quality music being dropped. Between Off the Wall to Dangerous, MJ had an insane run of hits and even beyond he could still pull out some great tunes. I wanted to know your Top 5 favorite MJ songs, whether they be the huge hits or some deep cuts that didn't get a chance to shine.

[Dreams]

He was just AMAZING and one of if not the most gifted melodist in pop music ever.



Top 5

1. Off The Wall
2. The Lady In My Life
3. Human Nature
4. P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)
5. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

[Deleted]

Don't make me choose. MJ is the King of Pop for a reason.

[jred]

I’d have to sit down and go back through his discography to make a legit list but I can tell you Man in the Mirror is #1 for sure.

[Mayman]

1. Remember The Time
2. Rock With You
3. Smooth Criminal
4. The Way You Make Me Feel
5. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

Beat It, Black or White, In The Closet, Billie Jean, and Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' are all among my favorites from him too.

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

1. Man In The Mirror
2. Billie Jean
3. Off The Wall
4. Earth Song
5. Morphine

[Clode]

Michael Jackson is hands down my Favorite Singer of all time, He had so many timeless classics that really have aged very well. It really just sucks that we had to lose him at the Young Age of 50.

1. Beat It
2. Black or White
3. Thriller
4. Billie Jean
5. Smooth Criminal

Beat It really did show the Rockier side of Michael and that uncredited legendary Guitar Solo from the late great Eddie Van Halen is without question one of the Greatest guitar solos of All Time.

[Mirago]

5. The Way You Make Me Feel
4. Beat It
3. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
