Wow, Thriller didn't chart #1?

I'll go with Beat It followed closely by Billie Jean.
 
I find this question to be strangely worded, since my favorite Michael Jackson song was not one of his Number One hits. In fact, the only one of his Number One hits, , according to the Billboard Top 100, that are in my Top Ten favorite Michael Jackson songs is Thriller, but that's closer to number ten than number one.

My Top Ten favorite Michael Jackson singles (in chronological order):

Got to Be There (1971)
I Wanna Be Where You Are (1972)
You Can't Win (1978)
Off the Wall (1979)
Get On The Floor (1979)
P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) (1982)
The Lady in My Life (1982)
Thriller (1982)
Remember the Time (1991)
Butterflies (2001)
 
Beat It -- an early intro to hit music for me off the first album I ever bought with my own money. Soon therafter though I realized what an overhyped ridiculous and very strange phenomenon the "King of pop" was and lost all interest. He was washed up by the first Bush administration.

Hrmm... I wouldn't say something like that in my neighborhood, if I were you... :p
 
whoa, I missed the washed up by the first Bush administration comment lol...

I'm tellin ya..."Invincible" people, that was quality stuff. I thought he reached back and found something on that album.

"Bad" and "Dangerous" were no slouches either.
 
I can't pick one. I can't even pick two or three. There are too many that I love.

I still can't believe it. I just watched his interview with Oprah in '93. It really is very sad. As far as influence and popularity goes, he's right up there with the Beatles etc., and higher in my book.
 
Of those, it would have to be Bad, mostly because of the video.

My favorite Michael Jackson song is "The Way You Make Me Feel". Favorite Jackson Five song is "Never Can Say Goodbye".

Favorite video of all time is "Smooth Criminal".
 
Of those on the list, I like "Say Say Say" the best.

And, corny as it sounds, I still like "We Are The World."

Picking a favorite Michael Jackson song, however, is almost impossible. He had such an incredible impact on music and had such variety that there are a number of different songs that fit perfectly for different moods.

Dang! I'm supposed to pick just one? That's impossible!

After much thought, from that list, I finally narrowed it to 2 and I cannot pick one over the other. They are:

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
Billie Jean
