We all know that before the invention of the CD, LP's would usually have a maximum of 10 tracks on them because of length and space. If the CD was never invented, then Dangerous, HIStory & Invincible would probably also have 10 tracks on them. If this was the case, which tracks from these albums would you take out to make it like this? These would be my ideal 10-track LP's:

Whoah I would have loved Invincible much more with this tracklisting, even though Cry is definitely growing on me every time I hear it. But that would make too many ballads (as it is with the current tracklisting).

somebody might have already said this, but vynil could easily be made into double albums to accomodate sixteen tracks, and it has been done, back in the day.
anyway, because of MJ proving among his many talents, that he also was unparalleled in song choice..there's no way i could choose any different than what he chose.

it would help if invincible wuz trimmed, others would suffer.

I agree. Invincible would have worked better as a 10-12 track album. I know Michael liked to give his fans as much as possible but sometimes less is more
