Man i still can't get over his death and have been quite depressed by his death for the past few days, and even more depressed that as of yet no meaningful tributes has been made for the artist other than on the internet. There were decades in history where Michael Jackson was more recognized than the US president, the American flag and any other person, symbol, figure. Where the kids were dreaming to be a Michael Jackson when they grew up more than anything else.
oh well, lets remember MJ's 40 year spanning stellar career from 1969-2009 by posting our favourite five songs for this legend.
i'll start:
1) Smooth Criminal.

2) Beat It.

3) Dirty Diana.

4) Thriller.

5) Give In To Me.

its a hard choice to rank his songs, most people will be mind boggled that i wasn't able to incorporate one of his most popular songs Billie Jean in my top 5.
Tastes differ, and hopefully that will provide some decent fuel for this thread to grow in tribute, remembrance of a very special individual.
RIP MJ.
