Not as big an admirer of the King Of Pop as most are. Nothing to do with his personal life. This 38 track compilation actually came out better
than I thought it would, with 12 love tracks. Not enough to push the album to that level. Three tracks I don't care for with the stupid Rockin'
Robin leading the way. Don't like the original either. Tweedle-dee-dee my butt. Billie Jean is my favorite with some competition from the Andre
Crouch choir on Will You Be There. A few of these songs were new to me as I have never heard Michaels last two albums. All up, a very nice set
covering the best of his career including the Jackson 5 years. Not posting the clips or even the titles for these 38 tracks. I've been sick for
a week and I don't feel like it, so there.

the guy made three albums of absolute class IMO...."off the wall", "thriller" and "bad"..."bad" being my favourite one.

its impossible to knock the guy as a performer,dancer and writer of almost perfect pop songs year in-year out!

im with you "billie jean would be my favourite song also, but this one from his "history" album comes a close second, its so sad having him reflect on his 'lost childhood'...

that one was off the superb "bad" album from 1987, i love almost every track from that album, the music is crisp and precise on that album, MJ's lyrics are well written also.

..........Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing (#24 UK)

Seriously, why would you do a song with freakin RuPaul? A hit in the UK, and that's not even the worst song for me. Born To Lose with Cohen gets
that honor. Cohen had reached his whispering is singing era and Elton's alternating verses are a mind clash. I did get 2 great tracks out of the
album but 6 on the other side. Going with Tammy as my favorite. I know, I'm supposed to love the George Michael thing. Sorry, I prefer the
original studio version. The album does get a passing grade but I'm not proud to say it. I could comment on each track but it would take too long.

Best Track - A Woman's Needs

That is bad.. for such a legend and for his standards!!



I've probably said it once but i'll say it again.... I am in LOVE with this band from across the pond in USA!

They have this huge love for 80's/ synth pop bands which is wicked and it definitely shows through the music they write!

I'm so excited about this release because its very rare i hear musicians making music like this... these days;

Anyway for those who have not heard of them.. i invite you to check out Peppermint Heaven who are based in LA!!

Also on another note, Gary Numan has new music out soon or has album been released?
