   You make this difficult with your constraints and whatnot…

   Leaving Jackson Five songs out of the mix (because we all know that every one of their songs was the greatest of all time), I would have to say my favorite is “Wanna Be Startin’ Something” off of Thriller.

   “Mama-se, mama-sa, mama-coo-sa”

   smooth criminal is a classic. but the best thing that man ever sang was when he was a boy. “mama’s pearl” by the jackson 5 is pure magic.

   I will have to say Smooth Criminal.

   I have to say Man in the Mirror – actually impacted my career choice to go into non profit management. I still tear up when I hear that song.

   Revolution by The Beatles.

   Technically that’s Michael Jackson’s song right? Although I guess it belongs to whomever his will lists as his primary benefactor now.

   Just ONE? I guess I’m going to say “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” for its danceability and the awesome sparkly video.
10. Holly on June 26, 2009 10:24 AM said:

    Hold on, the sparkly video is “Rock With Me”. Scratch the video reference.

    Does Joe Cocker’s rendition of “With a Little Help from my Friends”, technically count as Michael Jackson song too? If not, I am gonna go with “I am Love”

    I can not get enough of PYT, or Beat It, aaaand Scream the Janet and Michael duo. I loved to blast this song and pretend I had a hard adolescent life while my Mom was doing my laundry and making me a sandwich.

23. Don on June 28, 2009 6:04 PM said:

    The stuff he did with his brothers is untouchable. It’s a tie: “2-4-6-8” and “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)”

    It’s got to be “Blame It on the Boogie.” Classic J5 with one of the cheesiest videos ever. You cannot hear this song and sit still or be in a bad mood.

    Sorry guys. I gotta go back 40 yrs or so & say “BEN”. He showed a true love and bond for this rat. Michael always had a huge heart.

    I would have to go with ‘You Are Not Alone’ I fight back tears every single time I hear it because it reminds me that Michael Jackson is still with us all. His lives in our hearts. He lives through his music. ~we love you, Michael~
