I was checking out jsmooth’s tumblr when I came across his post of the first hour of his radio show The Underground commemorating the 2nd anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death. Some of this song was played in a pretty cool MJ mix, which is why it’s stuck in my head.
Off the Wall is my favorite MJ album. You can hear so many different musical influences in the songs: jazz, disco, funk, soft rock, etc. He was really showing his stuff on here. While I found pleasure in listening to Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, as well as his other subsequent material, Off the Wall just has a little more spark to it, in my opinion. (Besides…Rock With You is on it, and that is my jam! I have yet to have a playlist without that song.)
My all time favorite Michael Jackson song. He was truly a genius. Not to mention that it’s off of my favorite album Dangerous. Never will you be forgotten. <3
Who Is It? - Michael Jackson <33
It has such a sick base line. It’s one of my favorite MJ songs.
A song that you can play on an instrument: “Man in the Mirror” - Michael Jackson
I can play the keyboard parts. This is sort of unrelated, but why is it that I haven’t seen “Moonwalker” in ages? I didn’t see it at all during the couple of weeks they showed MJ videos on the music channels? What’s up with that?
Well I don’t have a favorite album, so I’ll share a song that came from the very first album I ever gotten. “Who is it” was (and still is) one of my favorite tracks from Dangerous. I got my first Walkman at the age of 4. My mom brought the cassette of Dangerous because she hated getting warped records. She eventually gave the cassette to me. I promptly fell in love with it and listened to it almost every day.
I’ve been an MJ fan since I was in the womb. Although I think “Off the Wall” was his best album, I find this one the be my favorite song he made.
