I've been around, reading up on the forum and such... been a bit busy in general. This thread provided me with many laughs last week... the fanboyism is off the charts.

Well...welcome back to the realm of posters. :)

:) thank you very much.

Agreed! I think he was still in touch with his beginnings when he made Off The Wall, if you get what I mean. Apart from the track Thriller itself I could never get into that album, and I far prefer the stuff he did when he was a member of the Jacksons. Skywriter and Lookin' Through The Windows are stand-out tracks for me.

He has some great tunes. But with all the embarrassments and media attention its hard for me to take him seriously. It's very hard to separate the mj wacko from the mj the musician because the guy has become such a joke. He needs to completely disappear for 10 years and then maybe his music can be serious to me again.

beat it and thrilelr only good songs when he was still had skin pigment

2 songs? lol. Come on. Go browse his discography. Trust me you will find more than two.

i have a mom that is in her 30s i have heard everything

Ughh, please don't think all parents that are in their thirties have such bad taste in music... pleeeeeaaaasssee... that, of course is my demographic bracket and I listen to music that I believe is great... hopefully I am,not *ahem* deluded...

I'm in my 30s too, but I'm not a parent. I think I have a decent taste in music. :)
