Ok love him or hate him you cant deny MJ was a huge music icon ! But which of his songs were the most iconic ??
For me it has to be Billie Jean ! The beat and bassline at the beginning instantly recognisable !   |

"The song that always makes me think of Michael Jackson is "I'm forever blowing Bubbles""
Lol what about " I wont let your sun go down on me " or was that George Michael  |

"It shows just how talented the man was when you could realistically name around 10 songs that could be considered his 'signature'.

Just off the top of my head

Smooth Criminal
Thriller
Blame it on the boogie

Billie Jean

I think I'm due for an eye test... I read that as 'ironic' and was going to put 'Black or White' DOH!
Iconic? I think that has to be Thriller because of the ground-breaking video that came with it. |

see... are we talking MJ or the Jackson Five...
if it is the Jackson 5... there "who's loving you?" is the one for me...
If it is Jackson on his own... the it have to be "Thriller"..... he was the first one to turn the music video into almost a cinematic piece.... |

Every day create your history,
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy,
Every soldier dies in his glory,
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
History by MJ |

I love the Michael Jackson Off the Wall album and there are many MJ songs I love. My list includes:
Off the wall
Rock with you
Dont stop til you get enough
Thriller
Bllie Jean
Human Nature
You are not alone
Smooth criminal
All of these I feel are iconic MJ songs.
One of the later songs that I love is Stranger in Moscow but that wouldnt be an iconic song |

Interestingly, its long been something of a videogaming legend that Michael Jackson supposedly wrote a few of the tracks for the old Sega Megadrive game Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (notably the Hydrocity and end credits themes, the latter of which sounds INCREDIBLY like Stranger in Moscow), but for legal/creative reasons wasn't part of the project for long. Even with the limited sound hardware of the time, the games soundtrack holds up very well, and makes you wonder if he really was involved with it? |

Gone too Soon....
It has a very special and deeply emotional meaning to me...I chose some of the lyrics from it as a tribute to my late son. This was before all of the scandal surrounding Jackson broke out.
"Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day....gone one night" |

"Disappointed no one has mentioned Ben.....I mean,it's a song about a hamster!!
How iconic can you get?
 "
It's about a rat, a killer rat in fact. From the film Willard and and won a Golden Globe award.

As a proud owner ( amongst may ) of Thriller on vinyl, it was the soundtrack of my teens. Beat it, my favourite, but off the wall was as good, if not better. lame it on the boogie, is also up there! Thriller will never be outsold. |

I'd never heard of that film, so youtubed it and found the cat scene - a gentle song like 'Ben' playing during such a sad scene made it all the more chilling  |
