In Memory of Michael Jackson – Lori’s Top 10 Michael Jackson Songs

In my opinion Thriller was the best music video ever and Michael Jackson was the pioneer of music videos. This mini movie made everyone stop and notice.

This song has always touched me. It is one of my all time favorite Michael Jackson songs. It makes you stop and think about how you can affect the world and make a change.

I'll admit this was always one of my favorites because its my mom's name. I used to always tease her about it. The video to Billie Jean was initially rejected by MTV in 1983. Learn more about the video here in one of VH1's Pop Up Video's.

I really don't know the reasons why I love this song. Maybe its because I cranked it up on my stereo whenever my brother would come in my room. Then again it could be that red leather zipper jacket.

This is classic Michael Jackson. It's one of those catchy songs that you can't help singing along with when you hear it. The video was awesome and smart. Plus, its a song that spawned on of the greatest song parodies of all time. See the parody here.

Michael Jackson hit another one out of the park with this one. I love this song because of the video and the gangster feel of it. When he's dancing in the video I was always amazed when he was swaying that he never fell over. Seriously a person has to have a ton of ankle and shin strength to do that. Later on I learned that it was special shoes and special hooks in the floor that helped him do that.

This is a great song. That's why its in my list. My only question is what is up with the white sash belt in the video?

This song was a success for Michael in 1988 it hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. There is just something about this song that makes me like it.

The video is what makes me love this song. I love the special effects. It also has a large celebrity cast including Macaualay Culkin, George Wendt, and if you watch at the end you'll even see Tyra Banks.  I also love the lesson in the song.  It doesn't matter, color, race, religion we are all equal.

This song was Michael Jackson's response to the negative press he was getting in the media. The stories about bubbles, the Elephant Man, plastic surgery, and about how he slept in a hyperbolic chamber.
