Don't Stop Til You Get Enough is my fav. It is follwed closely by Man in the Mirror and Smooth Criminal (yes, even before the cover by AAF).

Since AAF's cover of that song, I've been searching for the original everywhere in the shops. I can't find it. Stupid shops.

Hey Bobo, they just brought out a special edition of the Bad (at least they did in Australia) and Smooth Criminal is on Bad, so if you want the original version, I suggest you look for the CD Bad. I don't know if you have either Sanity Music or CC Music, but that's where I could find it.
Anyways, my fave MJ songs are:
Billie Jean
Beat It (the dance they do is just awesome)
Bad
Heal the World

I just love everything on 'Thriller' really. Billie Jean being my all-time favourite. I really like 'Human Nature' of that album too. However, i reallyt dont see whats so good about Thriller, the song. Ok b/c of the video, its all hyped up, but i just belive that Billie Jean is the best single of that album.
I also love 'wanna be startin somethin', ' i want you back ( the best jackson 5 song imo!), 'another part of me', and 'man in the mirror' and even 'torture ( which doesn't seem to get a lot of credit or airply nowadys! )
The Jackson's music is timeless really IMO :)

I have to agree with Criz. Thriller, the entire album, rocked. I can remember when it came out, how desperate I was to get it. I begged my parents for the money to buy it... on my knees.... in a chinese restaurant... *hangs head*

I was totally in love with Michael Jackson in junior high (grades 7 and 8 here). Then I discovered "hair bands". Bye Bye Michael. I still like Thriller, Beat It, Bad and Say Say Say (with Paul McCartney). ;D

Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
Smooth Criminal
Can't tolerate much more than that, but this year I plan to remix "Thriller" (a cheap rip-off of the X-Mix Remix anyway).

I liked most of the hits from the "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" albums. In fact, I bought the "HIStory" 2-CD set for Disc One (the greatest hits CD) alone!

Er... sorry to sound like a record stuck in a groove, but Thriller does have more excellent music on than everything else he's done put together. And didn't Van Halen do the solo in Beat It?
I used to hate "Bad" (the most accurately named song he's done), until getting Weird Al's video of "Fat" - now MJ's petulant posturing in "Bad" makes me smile ;-)

Indeed, Ediie Van Halen played the solo on "Beat It" :D
Seems when I think about it, that a lot of the titles of his songs could be linked to his life....examples:
Beat It/Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough/Bad
Pretty Young Thing/Smooth Criminal
Just IMO though
