We always made my dad put Thriller in the ol' cassette deck whenever we rode in his car. He probably got sick of it, but we loved it.
This feels like 2004 when I can't imagine anyone voting for Bush yet there he is winning...
The first recording of sound my parents have of me as a kid is yelling at my sister for singing the lyrics to beat it wrong..."no, no, you have to sing it like this..."...also, a few months ago, cleaning out my parents garage, I found the vinyl stored away collecting dust. Had to steal it....yeah, thriller.
Come on man, when this drops, you can't tell me you're sitting still.

i love Highway 61 and lsiten to it quite often, but i dont think it's Dylan's best, and unfortunately gets beat every day by this.......

i remember seeing this video for the first time. Staying up late on Fridays to watch Friday Night Videos. (a pre-MTV video show)
Once Billie Jean starts with the opening break, EVERYONE knows what it is because it is so CLASSIC and so GOOD! The little string hits are subtle yet so tremendous.
I am not trying to deny that Thriller is an iconic album and worthy of praise and I also agree that Highway 61 is not Dylan's best work (I reserve that title for BOTT). I just can't give a vote to an album that, while very groundbreaking, held no significance to me and rarely, if ever, gets any playback in my house.

I was just teasing GAH. I was simply making the point that I was not into pop music back then (or now for that matter) and my wife used to dance with her friends to Thriller until they wore the tape out. I put him in the Madonna category in that they were huge pop icons of the 80s.
Ah forget it, it doesn't matter anyway. :shakehead:
Madonna wishes she had half the performance skills of MJ in his prime.

Baby Be Mine is a bad song but Lady In My Life isn't?
Have you even heard the songs in question?
I didn't even remember Lady In My Life... It's the worst of 'em.
The hits are great, but my point remains the same - lots of filler.
You're nuts Baby Be Mine is a classic, it would have been a massive hit on any other album.
Same with Human Nature.
ETA: Human Nature actually was a top ten single.

3. Cleavage in "Secret" video

Is there a standard minute cut-off for EP status? 40 minutes sounds accurate unless we're dealing with punk bands, and we aren't. Punk band EPs are roughly 7 minutes long, I assume.

honestly, yes
but, on this board, the phrase popularity does not equal talent / quality etc (or something like that) has been said many times, and it's true.
also, imo, if it wasn't for the vids, this album wouldn't have done half as well as it did. even I have to admit, the vids are good.
MJ was a great entertainer, I don't put his music in the same category. I don't consider him a great musician, vocalist, or writer.

The world needs cheesy 80s slow jams and Human Nature is the Citizen Kane of the genre.
A true testament to 80s cheese for all time.
there are enough cheesy songs
the world needs more great songs - songs that are well composed with great lyrics.
Like a Rolling Stone
Ballad of a Thin Man
Tombstone Blues
Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues
It Takes a Lot to Laugh...
Desolation Row
Besides... we are really voting an Dylan vs. Quincy Jones. Michael Jackson had very little to do with how Thriller sounds.
From what I've read/heard, Michael Jackson had a lot of musical input into his albums. No doubt that Quincy was a big part, but give Michael his due.
That's just not true PG.
MJ had to prove in a court room that he wrote the music to The Girl is Mine.
He won.
Writing, perhaps. Arranging and creating the sound? Nope. Jones is responsible for how that album sounds. I stand by that statement.
QuoteJones discussed "Billie Jean" and why it was so personal to Jackson, who struggled to deal with a number of obsessed fans. Jones wanted the long introduction on the song to be shortened; however, Jackson insisted that it remain because it made him want to dance.
There's no I in team. Who cares. It's still the greatest album of all time.

I'm with PG in that I give Quincy Jones the majority of credit for how Thriller sounds.
Unlike PG -- I think it's a way better record than Highway 61.
I would have voted Dylan had he also invented a culturally phenomenal dance to go with one of the songs.
Perhaps the Strike Breaker Boogie or the Hobo Hop.

I would have voted Dylan had he also invented a culturally phenomenal dance to go with one of the songs.
Perhaps the Strike Breaker Boogie or the Hobo Hop.
I've been trying to get my dylan-inspired dance to catch on, but "the titanic sails at dawn" is not catching fire on the dance floor. Perhaps I should work on developing my B-plan Dance "the sun ain't yellow, it's chicken"-dance
"There always has been popular, mindless dance music with a strong back beat."
Paraphrased from Pete Townsend
Dylan may not have had a fancy dance but he did inspire an entire generation of rock an rollers to write their own songs.

Highway 61 is so much better than Thriller my brain hurts thinking about it.
i have a good stress relieving chant that will calm the brain.
repeat after me, slowly building in tempo:
Mama-say.... mama-sah ...... ma-ma ....coo-sah
Mama-say.... mama-sah.... ma-ma-coo-sah
Mama-say mama-sah ma-ma-coo-sah
Hoo! Hooo!
MJs idea of deep and thoughtful lyrics
Technically, MJ didnt write that. He lifted it from Manu Dibango's classic "Soul Makossa."

igbo dropping knowledge. :clap:
Check out the big brain on Igbo.
FYI & FWIW,
Michael Jackson has songwriting credit for four of the nine tracks on Thriller. QJ shares songwriting credit on just one.
Other credits:
Michael Jackson: Arranger, Composer, Drums, Guitar, Handclapping, Horn Arrangements, Producer, Rhythm Arrangements, Sound Effects, Stomp Board, Synthesizer Arrangements, Vocal Arrangement, Vocals, Vocals (Background)
Quincy Jones: Arranger, Producer, Rhythm Arrangements, Vocal Arrangement
Tough choice...

Writing, perhaps. Arranging and creating the sound? Nope. Jones is responsible for how that album sounds. I stand by that statement.
check out this Beat It demo. Michael could not play instruments, but the arranging and sound is all his on many of his songs.
