Cultural Influence: He was a major figure in the popularization of African American artists in mainstream pop music, especially in the '80s and '90s. He broke racial barriers, especially on platforms like MTV, which initially had limited Black artists in rotation.
Charity Work: MJ was also known for his philanthropic efforts. He donated millions to various causes and supported charities like the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

His combination of musical genius, groundbreaking visuals, and cultural impact helped shape the course of pop music and entertainment for decades. He made world wide hits with songs like Billie Jean, Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Black Or White, They Don't Really Care About us and Beat It. But what are his 5 best albums?

OMG! The full, "new-at-the-time" album on the second disc of "History" is the most underrated, under-discovered gem in the Michale Jackson catalogue, perhaps the 90s. I hope you speak of "Stranger in Moscow." Beautiful. And, well, everything. Love the duet with Janet. Michael really spills his guts on this one in grand fashion, and very few speak of it. Looking forward to it! (I even snagged the rare vinyl. Doesn't sound all the hot tho.)

The vinyl isn’t good? So happy I went for the CD in that case!

"Off the Wall" is very good, but I feel the quality really drops after the title track. "History" is great and severely underrated: Scream, They Don't Care About Us, Stranger in Moscow, Earth Song, & You Are Not Alone are fantastic songs. I think the B-side of "Bad" is the best side of music Michael ever did. Seriously though, just what a brilliant artist. Gone too soon.

Bad is my favorite album. Thriller comes in 3rd

[@Teen_Spirit_91]

Hi, enjoy the videos and watch regulary. Agree with the choices, must have missed your trinity video and that's one I've mentioned myself also (Nevermind, Nirvana maybe). Thriller line up is almost unbeatable for tracks.

[@getwild2492]

the Jacksons Destiny and Truimph albums and Off The Wall/Thriller. I do like Dangerous also.

[@skyediver]

Great list. It may sound sacrilegious but I wouldn’t hate it if Off the Wall and Thriller were reversed.

[@top5records796]

I have actually been considering that.

No love for Ben?

[@top5records796]

I love that single! He does a great job there.

Listening to Michael Jackson kinda feels like listening to Bill Cosby

[@pinkrudy]

He was found innocent in a court of law?

[@skyediver]

He was acquitted and even a cursory overview of the details of the case suggest there were MANY holes in said cases. Not to mention the billion dollar media industry that wanted to make money off of the “story of the century” if he were to be found guilty. Even journalists of the time have since publicly stated the media reported lies and misinformation for the money.

What does listening to Bill Cosby feel like?
