Track 1: "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" - So much greatness stuffed into one song. I love that such an over the top song opens the album, it definitely sets the mood in the perfect way.
Track 2: "Baby Be Mine" - Not as remarkable as some of the other classics on this album but still a really great song with an outstanding performance from MJ (as usual.)
Track 3: "The Girl Is Mine" - This light hearted piece of pop fluff is easily dismissed by most. And perhaps it should be, but I still quite enjoy listening to it. Amazingly this song was actually the lead single from the album.
Track 4: "Thriller" - The ultimate Halloween pop song which is the soundtrack to the greatest music video ever. One of three songs on the album written by Rod Temperton. He also wrote "The Lady In My Life" and "Baby Be Mine."
Track 5: "Beat It" - MJ's version of rock music includes a great Eddie Van Halen guitar solo that made this song the favorite Michael Jackson song for many rockers.
Track 6: "Billie Jean" - The last of four Michael Jackson written songs on Thriller (the first three were "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', "The Girl Is Mine," & "Beat It.") This album not only established Michael Jackson as a pop superstar, it also established him as a great songwriter.
Track 7: "Human Nature" - My favorite ballad on Thriller. In fact it may be my favorite Michael Jackson ballad ever.
Track 8: "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" - There are so many things I love about this song. The incredible energy in Michael's voice. The "robot" & "chipmunk" voices. The irresistible urge to dance that it gives me. A great song.
Track 9: "The Lady In My Life" - This is probably the most forgettable song on the album but it still has some really nice moments. Particularly once it gets going after a somewhat lethargic beginning.
