I hear a lot of hate towards MJ in the last few years, but who can deny Thriller as one of the best albums EVER? Regardless of the content, it stands as the best selling album ever, that has to mean something. I mean, 7 of the 9 songs were top 10 on the charts. ridiculous.
To be honest I liked him more when he was in the Jackson 5 but I love Thriller. If you feel like really listening close to this album, you'll hear the impeccable work of Quincy Jones on the production. Also, throwing Eddie Van Halen on Beat It was genius.
Since I wasn't around 25 years ago I don't know what it was like when this came out, and I can't even imagine. The influence can still be heard today though, with PYT being sampled by Kanye West (Good Life) and Wanna Be Startin Somethin sampled by Rihanna (Don't Stop the Music).
Anyways, here is a nice groovy electro-house remix of Thriller.
