With MJ’s passing I know that I’ve been revisiting a lot of his music and I’m sure many of you have as well, so this seems like an apt discussion. Pound for pound, which is REALLY Michael’s greatest record???
1979′s Off The Wall, his first record with Quincy Jones and fully away from the Motown sound, or 1982′s Thriller the highest selling record of all time? I’ll be interested to hear what you think…

In hindsight, it would have been difficult to see how "Off The Wall" could not have succeeded but to take the steps necessary to initiate that change of sound (and image) would have required more than just creativity. It was a defining leap in a lot of ways.
With "Thriller" MJ already know his sound and where he could go with it. The rest we know… RIP
