90s MJ > 80s MJ (Controversial opinion I guess)

From what I've seen most people's opinion is that Michael Jackson's most legendary albums, which are Bad and Thriller and I think that's a fact not something we can argue about, are their best works music-wise. However I disagree and I think that his 90s album are much better for various reasons:

Sound:

When you hear a song like The Way You Make Me Feel or Billie Jean (Two songs I love) you are absolutely aware they are songs from its time. However I feel like songs like Remember The Time, Stranger in Moscow or many other still sound very current, or at least that's my opinion. That makes it much easier for us to listen to them in 2018.

Topics:

He started leaning towards more social topics, which sadly are still very current today, such as Climate Change in Earth Song or the things he talks about in the lyrics of The Don't Care About Us.

Besides there's the fact I simply like the songs lmao

 

What do you think? Discuss hennies

 

 

PD: I know a lot of people her don't like him but there's no need to talk about that here thanks

He was more ambitious in 90s, it's when he became the king, social issues in lyrics, still innovating in music videos 15 years after Thriller, the best tours of the century, innovating the Superbowl show, experimenting with different sounds...

Songs like Heal the world, Remember the time, Black or white, Will you be there, They don't care about us, Earth song, Blood on the dance floor are better in my opinion than most of his previous work.

I do think that History and Dangerous have more filler tracks tho.

90s Michael was much more interesting to me than 80s Michael.

I still want Gaga to make a song at least similar to Earth Song / They Don't Care about us

MJ is my favorite artist ever. But Bad/Thriller are overrated imo. Dangerous and HIStory are his real masterpieces.

Not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing but maybe his 90s stuff sounds more relevant cause the 90s are trendy at the moment (re: your sound argument). Finesse and RTT sound pretty similar, for example. I definitely do feel that his music in the 90s is very underrated though

His 90s work is way more layered and intricate with sound selection, but also the songs sound more mature in topics/themes. :lolly:

I can’t really decide what album I like the most... but Dangerous has some of my favorite songs and TDCAU is very special to me. He was def something else in the 90s. Most expensive music video ever made etc 😍

I'm obsessively opposed to the typical...
