After listening to the song Off the Wall for the first time and looking at rafichamp's avatar, I once again went on the once-in-a-while MJ song-spree.

Now for the question: What do you think was MJ's best album, and why. Talk of his personal life isn't relevant here, so lets not get off-topic.

I think it was Bad, because after exhausting every song on the album as opposed to Thriller, I just liked it better. I even liked Speed Demon, which reviewers didn't like for some reason. Thriller wa awesome, but Bad was like 0.1% better to me.

Thriller easily. With the title track, Beat it and Billie Jean it's kinda hard to top.

Its gotta be thriller.

I like his greatest hits best though but they aren't albums, they're complications.

Most people will disagree with me but I would have to go with HIStory...

The first disc had all his classics from albums before and the second was MJ but with an angry edge... Scream and They Don't Care About Us were wonderful songs.. You Are Not Alone is a perfect ballad.

thriller

ABC

- Not a fan though, but I respect the music and the impact.

I would have to say Thriller

Thriller... it was OK, and I loved the video clip to :D

Off the Wall - one of the best disco albums ever made.

All in all though I prefer a Best Of album by Jackson 5/The Jacksons over MJ's solo work any day.

Motown at its best.

I am the ultimate fan, and I have to say that it is Dangerous.
