Why did you choose Baby Be Mine, when you actually don't like it?

I don't know exactly but it must include the When You Wish Upon A Star medley.
 
That's oddly specific, but ok. You didn't say who the audience was, assuming the general public:

  1. "Lovely One"
  2. "This Place Hotel"
  3. "Can You Feel It"
  4. "Walk Right Now"
  5. "Time Waits for No One"
  6. "Blame It on the Boogie"
  7. "Destiny"
  8. "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)"
  9. "Things I Do for You"
  10. "Billie Jean"
  11. "Beat It"
  12. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"
  13. "Human Nature"
  14. "Thriller"
  15. "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"
  16. "Rock with You"
  17. "Off the Wall"
  18. "She's Out of My Life"

I dunno what the run time is. Maybe I need to delete one or two.
 
"There’s not a bad record on Purple Rain. Thriller is allegedly the best album of all time, and that has at least two bad songs on it. There’s no 'Baby Be Mine' on Purple Rain." - Chris Rock

I’m not sure what Chris Rock’s point is here other than bringing MJ down in order to raise Prince up.

I was going to make some remark about entire albums that Prince made, but I love Prince.

Chris Rock, on the other hand…….I can’t stand the guys voice anymore. Every sentence uttered doesn’t need to be a punchline.

Ironically I can’t stand Chris Rock’s voice and he’s not even a singer.

There is no Baby Be Mine on Purple Rain, but there is Computer Blue and Take Me With You, both comfortably weaker than anything on Thriller
 
Great but tough question as always mate 😅

I'll go for a 12 track album, to make it a challenge.

1. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
2. Heartbreak Hotel
3. Get On The Floor
4. Time Waits For No One
5. Beat It
6. Billie Jean
7. Human Nature
8. Shake Your Body
9. She's Out Of My Life
10. Rock With You
11. I Can't Help It
12. The Lady In My Life

This was so much harder than I expected! I really like Destiny and I love the Triumph album, but up against similar songs on Off The Wall and Thriller they don't hold up as much for me. That's my list right now but I know it'll change tomorrow

It's tough to combine Off The Wall and Thriller, let alone add two fantastic albums from The Jacksons with so many hidden gems on both.

Apologies for the double post

This is a solid tracklist, mate. 👍

It's so well-sequenced, that I wouldn't skip a single song.
 
15 songs like HIStory Begins. I like very much songs like Baby Be Mine, TLIML or GOTF but it doesn't have much sense to do a 20 songs album and it would be to easy.


1) Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
2) Walk Right Now
3) Can You Feel It
4) Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
5) Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)
6) Blame It On The Boogie
7) She's Out Of My Life
8) Workin' Day And Night
9) Rock With You
10) Heartbreak Hotel
11) Off The Wall
12) Human Nature
13) Thriller
14) Beat It
15) Billie Jean
 
interesting approach, would you like to tell which one's you've chosen?
12 songs and it's def not 78 mins! I'm crap at these lists so ... whatever! :ROFLMAO:

Also massively frustrated bc I wanted to include the extended version of TLIML (def not allowed, lol) plus a live version of TPH/HH rather than the studio version. But, hey ... :)

Can You Feel It (single version)
Things I Do For You
Bless His Soul
GOTF
Time Waits For No-One
Walk Right Now
Lovely One
Push Me Away
Your Ways
TPH/HH (album version)
WBSS
