You mean, there are worse songs than “The Girl is Mine?”

Cheech and Chong made it famous I guess?

I seriously don’t get the Jackson mania. Sure, some of his dance steps were great. But his voice was mediocre at best, and needed a lot of mixing to sound somewhat tolerable. He was more a curiousity than anything. Weird as heck.

Not a Jackson fan. There wasn’t a best. There might have been a least worst.

Wasn't that Cheech and Chong, or am I retarded?

Rock With You should be #1.

I tried to kiss Kathy O’Seah on the lips at a YMCA dance and missed hitting her chin.

“Human Nature,” Thriller (1982): This was written by one of the guys from Toto, which may be the worst band in the history of rock music.

What idiot would think TOTO may be the worst band in the history of Rock music?

Yes and yes.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist. Why I still sit at the little table on holidays.

Interviews with Jackson (at least the later rendition) always creeped me out. Elizabeth Taylor said he was “nomal,” but coming form a Hollywood moonbat, that should tell you something.

He was as normal as a three dollar bill.

I didn’t think Toto was that bad. Some of their songs are still played frequently today. Although, I always wondered why he left Lorraine down in Africa.

That was making the rounds in SoCal back in the ‘80s or ‘90s.

Had friends who lived in the Santa Ynez Valley where Neverland was located and the local gossip was pretty bad about what was going on there.

Never, and I mean from his start as a child in the family group to his bizarre decline and demise, did I get the massive attraction. I switched channels whenever his music came on. To me the musical talent of Stevie Wonder and polymath talents of Ben Vereen far outshine anything Jackson did (and with none of the weirdness). Just my opinion.

The top 25 or so I won’t quibble with the order, and I hate to but I love his songs, grew up with them, it is what it is. A singing and musical genius who should have still been alive but IN THE PENITENTIARY.

This article whitewashes him more than he did himself.

An abused child who didn’t learn, didn’t choose good. He chose evil and he harmed others. He was not a man child. He was a disturbed pedophile. And he made great music. It doesn’t sit well with me but life doesn’t always make sense.

Can’t say I’ve heard many of these at all.

Although...79. “Heartbreaker,”

I did like George Steinbrenner’s cover:

“She’s a heartbreaker, love taker, cruel baker run this prison like a man. Heart breaker, love-taker, shoe-maker, won’t you cut my shoes...”

Do you think anyone would be normal, if they were raised the way he was?
