You can use any song you want as long as it fits the theme you have in mind. Try to make it coherent.
I'm going to give it a shot to create an MJ "uplifting" heartwarming album with songs that have a positive, hopeful, optimistic message. I want to create a batch of songs that encapsulate what Michael really was and what he radiated to the fans or at least the people willing to see it. The pure essence of Michael Jackson

1 We're Almost There
2 Can You Feel It
3 Another Part Of Me
4 Someone In The Dark
5 Ease On Down The Road
6 On The Line
7 Show You The Way To Go
8 Keep The Faith
9 Hold My Hand
10 One Day In Your Life
11 Smile

Other themes you can use (so you have an idea what I'm getting at) for example: a love song album, an angry MJ album, a coming of age album (quite a few Motown songs deal with this theme), a sad album, a party album, a paranoia album, a sex album etc. Use your imagination and creativity!

PS If you have better ideas for my theme, shoot! I'm not very good at arranging the track order!
 
Sex and Fame album 🤫😈
1. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
2. Rock With You
3. Billie Jean
4. P.Y.T
5. The Way You Make Me Feel
6. Dirty Diana
7. She Drives Me Wild
8. Slave to the Rhythm
9. Dangerous
10. Blood On The Dance Floor
11. Hollywood Tonight
 
The Girls

  1. Lulu
  2. Jamie
  3. Maria (You Were the Only One)
  4. Cinderella, Stay Awhile
  5. Melodie
  6. This Place Hotel (Heartbreak Hotel) [Sefra, Sue]
  7. Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ [Billie]
  8. Billie Jean
  9. Dirty Diana
  10. Smooth Criminal [Annie]
  11. Jane is a Groupie
  12. Lisa, It’s Your Birthday
  13. Tabloid Junkie [Marilyn]
  14. Little Susie
  15. Elizabeth, I Love You
  16. Blood on the Dance Floor [Susie]
  17. Superfly Sister [Susie, Mary]

Did I forget about anyone? I was thinking about including Euphoria, but it would seem the song really is about actual euphoria, so… 😅

1st edit: Added Lulu and Jamie (thank you @filmandmusic – somehow I forgot about Jackson 5!)
2nd edit: Added Mary to Superfly Sister.
3rd edit: Added Tabloid Junkie.

It’s an EP, alright. I propose to name it Harmonies.
 
“The rise and fall of love and everything in between”

1. Too Young - too young but already dreaming
2. It’s the falling in love - first experience of love
3. Baby be mine - courtship in full swing
4. Girlfriend - courtship in full swing part 2 but plot twist she already has a lover
5. The girl is mine - the other lover finds out and fighting over the girl erupts
6. Black or white - the fighting gets ugly as color gets involved
7. The way you make me feel - the full declaration of love
8. Liberian girl - we’re in the bedroom now…me Tarzan, you Jane!
9. In the closet - Oh yeah baby
10. The lady in my life - the romance after the deed
11. I just can’t stop loving you - the next morning, still head over heels
12. Working day and night - time jump, trouble in paradise
13. Leave me alone - it’s war!
14. She’s out of my life - depression kicks in after breaking up
15. Who is it - angry and hurt but still full of spirit, why did we break up?
16. Who’s loving you - angry and hurt part 2 but now channeling the positive vibe instead of the initial negative one
17. Speechless - the final push, the last straw but…
18. Someone put your hand out - fizzling out in despair after a failed attempt at reuniting with your one and only

I could only go for a negative ending, only in Hollywood life is great at all times…

I agree with Hiker, you've put loads of effort into this, f&m. It's like a Russian novel or perhaps a Shakespeare play. It's epic, lol. :)

Which one? The Jackson 5’s, Jacksons’, or the solo one?

I guess either one could work… 🤔
