There's no doubt about it, Michael Jackson can be a bit of a prat at times; having reacted in totally the wrong way over allegations of being a paedophile, he then proved to the world that he was utterly child-friendly by dangling a baby off of a balcony. But love him or hate him as a person, there is no getting away from the fact that his music was ground-breaking and forms part of nostalgic memories for people of many generations. Whether that memory be of drunken parties at university, your first snog at sixth form or the first late-night debate about plastic surgery, Jackson has provided a sound-track to our lives for several decades. This CD is a compilation of his best hits, ranging from the surreally disturbing Thriller to the 'sticks in your head for days' quality of Bad.
I was particularly impressed with the way that you can buy it two forms; either in the usual plastic jewel case at about £10.00 or in a more environmentally-friendly card pamphlet which, at Virgin, costs a mere £5.00. So that you can tell whetther your favourite song is on here, I have included a track listing.
* 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough * 2. Rock With You * 3. Billie Jean * 4. Beat It * 5. Thriller * 6. Human Nature * 7. I Just Can't Stop Loving You * 8. Bad * 9. The Way You Make Me Feel * 10. Dirty Diana * 11. Smooth Criminal * 12. Black Or White * 13. You Are Not Alone * 14. Earth Song * 15. Blood On The Dance Floor * 16. You Rock My World * 17. Break Of Dawn * 18. One More Chance
Overall, Michael Jackson is an artist which everybody should have a little bit of in their library and if you are going to buy some, you may as well buy the best.

Could do with a bit more info about the music itself. For example what are your favourite tracks and why? What music can it be compared to...what if no-one has heard of his music...etc. Let me know if you do add in more info and I'll definately re-rate. Nice one :)
