So after MJ's "death" it pretty much seemed like everyone under the sun started listening to his music all over again. And, just like the rest of the world, my friends and family, some of whom have never showed any interest in MJ before, start taking notice of his musical abilities (where were you all when he was "alive"). Being a MJ fan, I started being asking me to make them a cd of his "best songs." As much as I love the hits, and I most certainly do, I tend to lean towards the album cuts myself. So I decided to make a collection of songs that I feel a lot of the casual listeners have either never heard before or were at least somewhat unfamiliar to them--with a few hits thrown in for good measure to keep the casual listener interested. I tried to keep each cd at about 1 hour of music. I am very interested in what you all have to say about my song choices. Here is the track listing:
