Amazon.com essential recording
Michael Jackson's Thriller is the bestselling album of all time, with 45 million worldwide sales powered by seven Top 10 U.S. singles and eight Grammy Awards. The 1982 album was also a success from which the pop superstar never really recovered--subsequent albums seemed to have no other goal than to beat the records set by Thriller. The highly-polished sound of Quincy Jones's production sounds almost organic compared to Jackson's more recent work, and in the same regard, Thriller was significantly slicker than its predecessor, Off the Wall. Both albums established a Jackson style that aimed for the dance floor with songs built on a state-of-the-art bed of percussion and keyboards. Elements of milestone Thriller tracks like "Billie Jean" (arguably Jackson's best-ever performance) and "Beat It" (with its hard-rock solo by guitarist Eddie Van Halen) influenced not just Jackson's records, but those of the entire dance-pop world. On the song "Thriller," Jackson indulged his taste for the juvenile and invited Vincent Price to rap in a really scary voice. With Thriller the album, Jackson created a different kind of monster--a hit album of such magnitude that it would have an irrevocable impact not just on the singer's art, but on his altogether kooky life. --John Milward

 Michael's best albulm hands down April 12, 2010
Jason Weber
I know some may disagree but this albulm offers Michael Jackson at his best, and features some of pops most superb music and beats, with Michael's revolutionary Thriller, to Billie Jean, to the easy listening songs like The Girl is Mine with Paul McCartney and Baby Be Mine. If you do not own any albulms by Michael or are a newcomer to pop, this is a must buy. I find this is better than the new Thriller 25, which features a ton of extra generic, lame attempts by modern musicians at trying to mimic the late great, king of pop, which nobody can do as good as him. The only problem is this CD is not compatible with all CD players so you might want to get the 2001 remaster just in to be safe. But try to avoid Thriller 25, as it does have the originals, but also has a lot of crap by generic artists that taint the CD a little.
