Smooth Criminal is my favorite, but I voted for several others as well - Billie Jean, Beat It, Thriller, Bad, Man in the Mirror, Black or White, Scream.

I mostly tend toward the 80's stuff as that was when I listened to him the most. Shoot, back then, it was impossible to avoid him! :lol:
 
I'm also surprised Cry doesn't get featured on any of the numerous hits collections. Essential, Ultimate and King all had the opportunity. I realise it's one of those anti-war peace and love songs that Jackson is often critacised for, but it's more subtle and pleasant than, say, Earth Song.

Never heard of it.

What CD is that from?

:lol: Ouch!

I have to say I quite like it myself. I suppose it's more of an RnB album (if that describes it acurately - I never know with all the different labels floating around in the world of music today) than a pop album. But IMHO it's got that MJ feel to it and is very listenable.

I bought it for "Butterfly" but I've never bothered to give it a listen all the way through.
 
At 16 tracks, Invincible is too long, but there's definately some highlights. Singles and promotional songs You Rock My World, Cry, Butterflies and Heaven Can Wait are obvious choices. I also like opening track Unbreakable with a posthumous rap from Notorious BIG, and Santana collaboration Whatever Happens.
