“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” – This is one of four tracks on the album that “The King of Pop” got sole songwriting credits on. One of the things that way too many people forget about when speaking of MJ is that he was not only a great singer and dancer, he was also a very creative songwriter.

“Baby Be Mine” – To get an idea of how good this album is consider this: “Baby Be Mine” is one of only two songs that wasn’t a hit single. This is a pretty catchy song to be one of just two tunes not released as a single.

“The Girl Is Mine” – The lyrics are cheesy as hell but I think that’s part of the song’s charm. I’ve really started to enjoy this song a lot lately. The interplay between MJ & Beatles legend Paul McCartney damn adorable. Jackson wrote this song.

“Thriller” – At this point the music video is probably more famous than the song which I think is kind of unfortunate. It’s a brilliant song and MJ’s incredible vocals really put it over the top. Who else could have made this song work?

“Beat It” – Eddie Van Halen features on this “rock” song. This is the kind of thing that Jackson doesn’t get enough credit for, he was really pushing the envelope of what pop music could be. Jackson wrote “Beat It.”

“Billie Jean” – The most perfect example of a Michael Jackson song. If you are ever questioning MJ’s talent remember that he wrote and performed this song.

“Human Nature” – This is one of the songs I enjoy most lately because it hasn’t been played to death like many of the other songs on the album. It’s a beautiful song.

“P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” – I’m not sure any song makes me want to dance more than “PYT.” Much like the beautiful “Human Nature,” this tune is among my favorite songs on Thriller because it hasn’t been included in so many greatest hits albums.

“The Lady In My Life” – The least good tune on Thriller? Yeah I think so. Still pretty damn good? Without a doubt.
