Remember the POLL: The Michael Jackson "Dangerous" Poll

"In the Closet" was robbed, let's get this right

Really hard to pick one here. The only thing I can't stand here is "Heal the world", but that's totally counterbalanced by "Will you be there" with its eye-misting superpowers.

TBH Jackson's discography is pretty flawless to me.

Brantley Gilbert's "Bottoms Up" made me realize how awesome "Give In To Me" is.

The ominous synths and guitars in "Give in to me" remind me of "The Real Thing"-era FNM (and are as good as anything in that album)

'Why You Wanna Trip On Me'

Kneejerk vote for 'Dangerous' but even just reading the track listing I am itching to listen to the whole thing right now. So good.

Gah! Missed that this had been polled before.

Gonna vote for "Will You Be There," but re-listening, I'm surprised at how solid so much of this is.

don't be hard on yourself crytpo in my experience the original poll is impossible to search for

"In The Closet" for its brittle, sampled beauty. It's somehow very minimal and very lush at the same time.

Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 19 December 2014 01:44 (nine years ago) link

this will always be "Who Is It?" for me

"Jam" was the hardest shit ever when i was 10, still is kinda

two years pass...

JAM!

four years pass...

man, if he hadn't been so concerned with filling up the capacity of a cd, this could have been a masterpiece. throw out the schlocky ballads and rearrange the sequence and you have a damn good album:

jam
black or white
why you wanna trip on me
give in to me
in the closet
dangerous
remember the time
she drives me wild
who is it
can't let her get away

and even like that, it's still a goddamn hour long. title track is underrated. "remember the time" is so good. it's fucking godlike. my sweet lord, what an absolute `choon.

somehow i played this CD a million times without looking at the cover for longer than 15 seconds

Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Sunday, 4 July 2021 20:55 (two years ago) link

and it represents the music perfectly.

i had it on cassette and would often investigate the scaled down version with a magnifying glass. true story.
