It's crazy how you can put some absolute hitters on to pad it out, but 16 songs would absolutely take away from the magic of the Bad album.

I think it's one thing they got right in the Quincy trio, in 'trimming the fat'.
 
  1. The Way You Make Me Feel
  2. Bad
  3. Liberian Girl
  4. Speed Demon
  5. I Just Can't Stop Loving You
  6. Streetwalker
  7. Dirty Diana
  8. Smooth Criminal

  14. Leave Me Alone
  15. Dream Away
  16. Man In The Mirror
While I think Bad is perfect with its original number of tracks, if I really have to put together a track list of 16 then I'd do it in this exact order:

- The Way You Make Me Feel as the number one track, I feel it's great as an opener and has the same powerful energy as Wanna Be Starting Something.
- Bad is perhaps a tad too early to put it as the second track, but it links well with TWYMMF's sound.
- Liberian Girl and Speed Demon for the original fade-out, simply brilliant.
- I Just Can't Stop Loving You to start with the ballads, then have Streetwalker, Dirty Diana and Smooth Criminal to bring the spice back.
- Fly Away for a bit of calm after all these fast-paced, super energetic tracks would tie in nicely with a more finished version of Loving You.
- TYLA, POF, Cheater and Leave Me Alone for the final adrenaline rush, or as Lotfi would say, 'angry voice tracks'.
- Dream Away may be too soft, but it would fit well if you ask me.
- Man In The Mirror also goes without saying, a perfect ending, there's just nothing better than this choice.
 
Interesting question.
