#1 FAV MJ TRAX FOR FETTY BE IS.....Human Nature (1982)
Jackson's breathy ballads were seldom as catchy as his poppier cuts. But thanks to some burbling guitar and percussion, along with that echoing chorus vocal, this one sticks.
Man in the Mirror (1988)
Three years after We Are the World, Jackson thinks globally on this preachy single, which builds from synth-pop to a gospel anthem complete with choir.

ABC (1970)
The J5's second hit mines a slightly deeper and funkier groove, with Michael and his brothers sharing the vocals -- and making it all look as easy as the chorus claims. Bonus points for the midsong get-down breakdown.
The Girl is Mine (1982)
This lightheartedly poppy duet with Paul McCartney may be just a silly love song, but just try not to snap your fingers and sway along.
Shake Your Body Down to the Ground (1978)
One of the last hits of The Jacksons' initial run, the punchy horns, zippery synths and whiplash backup vocals on this disco workout foreshadow Jackson's later work.

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (1979)
This cut from MJ's solo breakthrough Off the Wall is true to its word, upgrading the standard dance-floor template with everything from sweet strings and stabbing horns to Latin percussion.

Thriller (1982)
Over the years, John Landis's landmark video has overshadowed this song itself, but even without the dancing zombies, it's a hoot -- especially when Vincent Price raps.

Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'(1982)
The first track on Jackson's colossal Thriller album sets the stage with a percolating beat, twitchy guitars and funky horns -- and that unforgettable "Mama-say, mama-saw, mama-kusaw" refrain

Billie Jean (1982)
From the ominously chugging bassline and four-on-the-floor beat to the syncopated synth pulses and shivery backup vocals, this is easily the catchiest pop song ever written about a stalker (sorry, Sting).

Black or White (1991)
Another guitar hero -- Slash of Guns N' Roses -- delivers the jangling intro on this funk-pop ode to tolerance. Coulda done without the mid-song rap by LTB (whoever that is).
I Want You Back (1969)
The Jackson 5's debut single -- and the first in a record-setting string of four straight No. 1 hits -- is also a slice of soul-pop perfection, from its nimble Motown bassline and slinky guitar to Michael's pubescent enthusiasm.
Bad (1987)
At his peak, Jacko was so bulletproof he could deliver a line like "Your butt is mine" with a straight face -- and everybody bought it.
