Soo hard to pick! Well this at time my favorites are:
1. Threatened
2. Unbreakable
3. Ghosts
4. They Don't Care About Us
5. Speechless

I know this is only from 1995-2001, but I sometimes like listening the "newer" stuff more. Almost all MJ songs are great on their own way of course.
 
It's hard to make a definitive list of favorite MJ music, but here's my picks:

1. Butterflies - Such a slow and sensual song
2. Fly Away - Also very calm, and every instrument is so good to listen.
3. Break of Dawn - Makes my mind space out whenever I hear this track again.
4. This is It (Orchestra Version) - At the same time, feels a little sad, but empowering.
5. Love Never Felt So Good (Xscape Version) -Very uplifting and catchy.
 
At the moment it is still Dangerous led:

1. Who Is It
2. Give In To Me
3. Another Part Of Me
4. Earth Song
5. Will You Be There
 
- Man in theMirror
- Back or White
- Beat it
- Give In to Me
- Will You Be There
?
 
1. Heal the World
2. This Is It
3. Smooth Criminal
4. Jam
5. Earth Song
 
Argh. I hate making lists like this, especially for a guy with a back catalogue that is almost flawless.

5. Smooth Criminal.
4. Workin' Day and Night.
3. Beat It.
2. Leave Me Alone.
1. Billie Jean.

At the moment it would look something like that, but it changes on a weekly basis depending on my mood. Billie Jean is an absolute lock at number 1 though.
 
Very hard, so I will just choose the best that come to mind, no doubt when this is complete, there willbe one or more songs
I have missed out. Like Scream said, when his back catalogue is flawless, it is hard to pick just 5 songs.

It's easy with other artists, as they have more varied output like a certain other African American megastar who died this year, but not
Michael. Any way here goes.

1. Billie Jean
2. They don't care about us
3. Who is it
4. Beat It
5. The way you make me feel

Any of those 5 could fall out in a particular week and be replaced by

Break of Dawn
In the closet
Rock with you
Human Nature
Say say say.
 
Already seeing your lists after doing mine, it is like I have missed out several obvious songs like

Smooth Criminal
Man in the Mirror
Workin day and night
Human Nature
Love never felt so good
Fly away

But Billie Jean is always the number one, that song is to MJ, what When Doves Cry is to someone else.
 
Depending on my mood, there's certain songs I like to go back to. For instance, Scream or TDCAU I listen to when I'm angry, and when I'm sad I'll put on WYBT or YANA.

But my ultimate top 5 would be
1. Black or White (which might have something to do with the fact that I absolutely love the short film)
2. You Rock My World
3. Blood On The Dancefloor
4. Give In To Me
5. Remember The Time
 
1) Man In The Mirror
2) Will You Be There
3) Heal The World
4) Black Or White
5) Jam

The first two are set in stone. The rest can change depending on my mood.
 
1. Dangerous
2. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
3. Who Is It
4. Morphine
5. Fly Away
 
Very very tough, but would go something like this:

Give In To Me
Dirty Diana
Beat It
Billie Jean
Man In The Mirror

Very close behind are songs like Smooth Criminal, DSTYGE, Liberian Girl, Who Is It, Will You Be There, Stranger In Moscow, WBSS.
 
Man in the mirror
Smooth criminal
stranger in moscow
off the wall
keep on dancing
 
I'm not doing this in order!!! And obviously this'll change from time to time but currently...

-Billie Jean
-Smooth Criminal
-Will You Be There
-Bad
-Threatened

Jeas it's really hard for me to peak 5
When people asking what is my top 5 I don't really know because there are so many songs that I love ?? so much
Well I will write what I am usual
Answer
1 Billie jean (not just because its the most popular but it really is and outstanding song?
2. Whatever happens so amazing and understand one of his strongest if not the.
I wish that he had more song at the level of this one
It is annoyingly underrated though
3. Stranger in Moscow another classic absolutely beautiful and perfect with a touching lyrics
4. Unbreakble I was actually wanted to put working day and night here but this song disevers to be here because it doesn't get attention like working and for me they both on the same lever definitely chould have been the lead single from invisible
5. Maybe tomorrow a Jackson 5 masterpiece
 
1. Dirty Diana
2. Give In To Me
3. Come Together
4. MITM
5. Human Nature

The two first ones (ok the 3 first ones) are set in stone. The rest changes. I have at least 15 songs I play daily, so this list will never be fair or correct :)
 
Oh my!

That´s like having a hundred beloved siblings and choosing your top 5 most beloved :lol:
 
5 is such a small number
I could have a top 50 and still feel like stuff is missed
Oh well, might as well try to make a list
1. The Girl Is Mine w/ Paul McCartney
2. Black Or White
3. Heal The World
4. You Are Not Alone
5. P.Y.T.
The list goes on, next being Tabloid Junkie
 
Very hard question...lol but! I would say...
1) Keep The Faith
2) Human Nature
3) Stranger in Moscow
4) Will You Be There
5) Smooth Criminal
