Still relevant
Here's why the album — the best-selling album ever — and the King of Pop are still relevant today.
Five reasons "Thriller" is still one of the best albums ever
• It's "Uncool," which means it's now "cool." Don't ask us why, it's just the way the universe works.
• You can't dance to "The Joshua Tree" by U2 although you can still drunkenly croon to "With or Without You" on dollar draft night.
• More than 100 million served. That's how many people around the world have listened to "Billie Jean" and tried to light up the living-room carpet.
• Quincy Jones produced it. Everything the guy touches turns to gold. It's a burden, unless you're a record producer.
• Seven Top 10 songs. There have been greatest-hits compilations without that much substance.
Five reasons "Thriller" will still be around another 25 years.
• It's Michael Jackson. In 25 years he'll have had enough plastic surgery that he'll be around forever.
• "Thriller 50." The debut of "Thriller 50" in the year 2033 will feature supporting artists such as Jaden Smith (son of Will Smith), Sean Spears (son of Britney Spears) and Keith Richards (guitarist of The Rolling Stones).
• Classic pop. The phrase "classic pop" will remind people of the good ol' days, when music was "good" and "really meant something, man."
• 20th-century music class. Required course study for music history majors who will be forced to analyze and compare early and late Michael Jackson works.
• The Moonwalk. We will all still try to dance in our living rooms like Michael Jackson in "Billie Jean." We will never be able to do it .
Five reasons why we loved "Thriller" in 1983 and still love it in 2008
• The Moonwalk.
• The Red Leather Jacket.
• Sleepy graveyards and monster attacks.
• It won eight Grammys, so it must be good.
• "Thriller" was the greatest video ever. Still is if you ask us.

- Kappa9 says... I don't care what anybody says you can't look past what Michael has done careerwise.. Ain't nobody selling 104 million on 1 ALBUM today, hell, not even half of that. I consider him one of the greatest(if not THE GREATEST) performer of all time

Michael Jackson's Nigh-Unstoppable Thriller Gets the 25th-Anniversary Treatment
by Miles Marshall Lewis
Thriller remains the nine-song standard that every aspiring prince of pop still pines over way into the 21st century: hands down, the consummate crossover album.

5. MJ is a Cottager
If that didn’t work, he’d invite famous pop stars to Fulham’s ground. In 1999 he showed Michael Jackson around Craven Cottage ahead of a league game against Wigan. The King of Pop’s presence clearly worked as Fulham won 2-0.
