Maybe there allready is a topic about this, if so this one can be closed.
Anyway ever since Michael's death I feel a bit sad about the fact he has so less albums with only new material.
New Material albums:
- Got To Be There
- Music And Me
- Ben
- Forever Michael
- Off The Wall
- Thriller
- Bad
- Dangerous
- History (party greatest hits though)
- Blood On The Dancefloor (with remixes of History songs)
- Invincible
Greatest hits albums (I skip the younger years here coz I lost track of greatest Hits albums in that era and the Jacksons/J5):
- The Essential Michael Jackson
- Number Ones
- Disc One of History
- MJ the Ultimate collection (has new material though but it's still greatest hits)
- King Of Pop The (insert country) Collection.
- This Is It
I think that if I add all greatest hits albums of his younger years he might even have more greatest hits albums then new material ones. When I look at some other artists they release new albums every year/ever 2 years and hardly have a greatest hits album. Not that I wanted to force Michael to release a new album every year but it just bugs me that there is so much good and unused material which they might release later as a 'new hit'. Like what happened now with This Is It. I mean why didn't they release more when he was alive? On the other hand it's nice of course that we keep hearing stuff we didn't hear to keep his legacy alive and such.
What are your views on this?
