Track 1: "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" - There's more great ideas in this one pop song than there is in the entirety of most pop albums.
Track 2: "Baby Be Mine" - For a lesser pop artist this would have been a big single. For MJ, it's one of only two songs on the album not to be released as a single.
Track 3: "The Girl Is Mine" - This light hearted piece of pop fluff is easily dismissed by most. And perhaps it should be, but I still quite enjoy listening to it. Amazingly this song was actually the lead single from the album.
Track 4: "Thriller" - This brilliant song was written by Rod Temperton (who also wrote the only two non singles on the album, "Baby Be Mine" & "The Lady In My Life") but it was Michael Jackson's incredible performance that makes the song so memorable. That and the amazing music video of course.
Track 5: "Beat It" - This song greatly expanded the appeal of Michael Jackson. This was MJ at his most "rock n roll" and Eddie Van Halen's awesome guitar solo didn't hurt either.
Track 6: "Billie Jean" - The last of four Michael Jackson written songs on Thriller (the first three were "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', "The Girl Is Mine," & "Beat It.") This album not only established Michael Jackson as a pop superstar, it also established him as a great songwriter.
Track 7: "Human Nature" - One of the really great "lesser known" (by Thriller standards) Michael Jackson classics. This song and "P.Y.T." are the Thriller tracks I seem to enjoy the most these days.
Track 8: "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" - I think this song has more energy than another on the album (with the possible exception of the opener.) Like "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" it just seems to be overstuffed with awesome ideas.
Track 9: "The Lady In My Life" - I'd vote this one as my least favorite song on Thriller but I still quite like it, particularly the more danceable bits that come in after the balladry of the beginning.
