Advantages: Practically every song a classic, includes Jackson 5 Disadvantages: Yet another greatest hits
I think that as pop music goes, Michael Jackson is simply the best there is. You only have to listen to this and realise that practically EVERY on it is a classic. Some of these songs are 20, 30 years old but they still sound fresh and arent dated at all. Michael Jackson appeals to everyone, rock fans, rap fans, and young people who weren't even born at the height of his fame.
One of the best things about this is that it includes the best known ... ...it on the boogie' and 'Can you feel it' all stand out as amazing, catchy pop songs and 'Ben' is simply gorgeous, even if it is about a rat. I'm sorry, but 'He rocks in the treetops all day long' has got to be my favourite lyric of all time.
But the real substance of course comes from all of those unforgettable hits The first CD goes through his career up to 'Thriller' and features the best song of the two CDs 'Dont stop til you get enough' the ultimate ...

Advantages: Well known ballads and upbeat songs, some true classics Disadvantages: Some lesser known songs, most of us already have the majority of tracks
It's hard to know where to start with a review of a Michael Jackson album, especially another 'best of', as most of us probably have the majority of these tracks on other albums. That said, they do have a certain appeal and a way of sounding fresh and exciting, even when some are around 30 years old. It's also hard to say what the future holds for Jackson in light of recent events. I am sure his fan base will stay true to their hero, but those of ... ...on. I'm sure this album was released to remind us just what a musical talent Michael Jackson really is, and it certainly does that!
There are 38 tracks altogether over the 2 cds and range from the Jackson hits such as 'ABC' right up to his more recent solo offerings of 'Heal the world' and 'Black or white'.
I have to say that some of these tracks really please me personally (ballads such as 'Got to be there' and 'She's out of my life' and upbeat ...

Advantages: All his songs are amazing so there is no way hating this cd Disadvantages: Some of my favourites are not in there but those are my minuses maybe not for you though
...not put in his other essential songs like 'one more chance' the song that I enjoy listening to, little disspointing but there is only 2 cd's to fill in. I don't know if I'm ever going to get tired of listening to MJ songs, doubt that i will but this cd will bring enjoyment and memories. It is worth buying this cd for sure as there will be people out there who has all their favourite MJ songs in this cd but not all of my favourites are there! So definitley ...
