Obviously Thriller is an obvious choice.  My favorite of all time however is "The way you make me feel."  Not only is the premise of the video, If you follow a woman around a dark street long enough she will fall for you.  But they also have the classic fire hydrant erupting orgasm scene will grunting and yelling in the background.  But also its the introduction of his pelvic thrust

Easy, Smooth Criminal is an awesome video. I'll be doing a spin and crotch grab every time I walk around a corner today in his memory.

leave me alone.

it's an honest (but very creative) plea.
sometimes you have to bite your lip, exhale and move on.  So, I have.

As you say this, the full clip of Thriller comes on.  My favorite may be Black and White.  I remember being in Brazil as a young boy and everyone being excited about the premiere of the video and being watched like it was a soccer game.

I also remember later in his career, I think in 1995, one of his last songs to actually be played on the radio (They Dont Care About Us) he filmed it in Brazil.  It was a breakthrough because he got permission, not from the government, but from the gang cartel to film the video on the favela (like the ghetto, or shanty).  The gangsters were the ones that provided him with security and that had been the most footage of the favelas for a long time because media and not even cops could really get into that area.  That started the whole idea of "favela tours" where now people can take tours, and I believe for the most part the money goes off to the community.
Baby Jesus!

  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
Billie Jean was a classic.  I think I might prefer Man in the Mirror though.

That Video where he interrupted regular scheduled programming on TV to talk about how the cops raided his house and strip searched him.

"Remember the Time" from the "Dangerous" album.  That was the best album since Thriller.  Much better than "Bad".

The Question was asked, I gave an honest answer. Sorry if I offended. But it's really an honest answer. Not everyone HAS to be a fan. And I'm sorry I don't put the guy on a pedestal. I am sure that there are a lot of "Legends" that you don't care for and don't respect.

well I would say disrespecting a dead man on a blog is a major withdrawal from the Karma bank.  So good luck with that one. I dont expect everyone to be a fan, but I do expect you to be respectful to those of us that are fans.
