“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” – This one is one of four tunes on Thriller that Jackson got sole songwriting credits on. Michael Jackson wasn’t only a great singer & dancer, he was also a excellent songwriter.
“Baby Be Mine” – To get an idea of how awesome 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 interaction between MJ & Beatles legend Paul McCartney is pretty darn cute. This is another one of the Jackson penned songs.
“Thriller” – Too many people think just about the groundbreaking music video and forget about the song itself. It’s a great song and Jackson’s performance is brilliant. 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. MJ wrote “Beat It.”
“Billie Jean” – The perfect example of a Michael Jackson song. If you are ever questioning MJ’s songwriting ability, remember that he wrote “Billie Jean”.
“Human Nature” – This is one of the Thriller songs I enjoy most these days because it hasn’t been overplayed like many of the other songs on the album. It’s a really pretty tune.
“P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” – I don’t think any song makes me want to “get down” more than “PYT.” Much like “Human Nature,” this is one of my favorites partly because it hasn’t been overplayed.
“The Lady In My Life” – The worst song on the album? Yeah I think so. Still pretty damn great? For sure.
