I heard Michael Jackson songs at a very early age but it was during High School that I started to become a huge fan of his. Me and my friends would meet every weekend for beers and Music Videos. We watched various bands and artists, but every time we at listened to some Michael Jackson, and for good reason, he is fantastic!
​
If you want to listen to more than these ten songs, check out my MV Playlists, you find all my Michael Jackson songs on Playlist 36. For this Top List, I have a short description of why I like each song, but I primarily figure the songs will speak for themselves!
I hope you enjoy my top 10 favorite Michael Jackson songs!

#10 Dirty Diana
Making this list was crazy hard, there were many candidates for the number ten spot, with candidates like Bad and Man In The Mirror, but I finally decided on this. I love the lyrics, the melody and the vocals, everything that makes Michael so good!
#9 Smooth Criminal
One of Michael Jackson's biggest hits and for good reason. From the amazing music to an incredibly good Music Video with some classic moonwalking, this one has it all. I do find it slightly overplayed but it can likely climb this list in the future!
#8 Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
This is one of Michael Jackson's earliest hits as a solo artist yet one of his very best. I love the melody, the positivity, his vocals and the Music Video. It's not the most advanced song, but I still think it's one of the best he ever made.
#7 Billie Jean
This is a controversial pick, many consider this his best song, but for me, it's just short of the very top. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome song, I just find it a little overrated in comparison to the superb songs that I put higher up the list.
#6 The Way You Make Me Feel
The Way You Make Me Feel has everything that makes a Michael Jackson song great and has always been one of my favorites. What makes me like this the most though, is the Music Video, that I just, for some reason, really appreciate!
#5 Thriller
This is probably the best Music Video ever made in the history of all music! The song is fantastic, but this video is really what made Michael Jackson the legend he is. And the extended Music Video version is by far the best version as well!
#4 Beat It
Picking between this and the number five entry was hard, but I eventually settled on this for number four. I love the music and lyrics in this one and of course, it also has a fantastic Music Video to match, I still try to learn the dance in the end!
#3 You Rock My World
Next on the list is one of Michael's final big hits. For a long time I had, sort of, forgotten about this one and it took me many years to realize just how crazy good this one is. I also love the Music Video, featuring movie stars like Marlon Brando.
#2 You Are Not Alone
This is one of Michael Jackson's calmer songs yet one of his most powerful. I just love the melody in this one, it's so soothing and relaxing, you can just get lost in it. And of course, he has that wonderful voice you just can't get enough of.
#1 BLACK OR WHITE
This one has grown on me over the years, from a song I liked to a song I absolutely love. I don't know exactly why I love this so much, but it's probably the beat it has and as always, a great Music Video. Simply a masterpiece of a song!
