A lot of people say Thriller, Billie Jean, Bad, Beat It etc when asked to say a MJ song. This results in some of Mike's classics fade a bit to the non hardcores like us.
What song do you wish was out there, similar to the success of the songs above?

I would go for Speechless. Its one of my faves. Its nothing but Michael's amazing voice, and it makes me feel like he's singing to me. It really does reveal Mike's amazing talent furthermore. Sadly a lot of people I mention the song to haven't heard of it. I wish it was released as a single when Invincible was released... but we all know how Sony screwed up its release & promotion etc.
 
Probably Who Is It (full version) and Give In To Me.

Bearing in mind the latter was a #2 hit in the UK, no-one knows it and it's not on any Greatest Hits.

Also Stranger In Moscow and to prove that Michael still had it in the Invincible era Whatever Happens.
 
Cool thread!

I agree with zpredra: We've Had Enough. That songs was really needed a couple of years back in the midst of the Iraq mess. It expressed lots of people's feelings about this perfectly.

Also: Who Is It and Keep the Faith. And Destiny, even though it's a Jacksons song. Oh, and also Human Nature. Without a video this song is always a bit behind in air play and such, unlike WBSS somehow. This Is It made it more popular again I hope. It's one of the prettiest songs Michael has ever sung. Oh, and Lady in My Life, most tender ballad ever made. No I'll stop, otherwise I'll be naming MJ's entire catalogue except for Billie Jean, Beat It and Thriller, because noone can claim those songs are not heard and respected enough.
 
They Don't Care About Us and Threatened - my two favourite songs of all time.
 
There are so many, many songs I wish the public would get to know better. I will begin with: ENJOY:sun:

^^Yeah, Most of the public probably don't even know that Michael did a duet with Stevie Wonder...
 
speechless, one of my all time favorite. That song is purely magic, a genius work, a song from heaven.
 
Speechless is divine. I don't usually buy that "it's from God" crap, but with that song I can believe it.

We've Had Enough too. Should have been released when the wars were kicking off.

Billie Jean especially is like white noise to me now, I've heard it too many times, I can't appreciate it.
 
that's what happens with Billie Jean. They play that song so much, it's difficult to appreciate its genius. That song is not an easy song and it's not easy to sing. I don't even know how it became so popular, it's definitely not a catchy-poppy song.
 
Just Good Friends
Liberian Girl
Do You Know Where Your Children Are
Is It Scary
On The Line
Escape
Who Is It
Lovely One

...and many more :)
 
There's many.


Speechless. Purely beautiful song that I think more people should hear. Also Childhood so there would be a better understanding of Michael to the public (or is that wishful thinking?)
Another Part of Me & Keep The Faith - I love the messages in these songs. It would be great if they were more well known. Honestly, I'd rather Michael be more known for these kind of songs rather than Thriller.
 
We have had enough
Earth song
Little Susie

I love those songs and they show what kind of person Michael was.And the world need to hear those kind of songs.

Motown 25 probably?
