And MJ's best outtake (beats the entire second half of Off the Wall, excepting maybe "I Can't Help It"):

And the song ain't so bad either.

definitely closing things off at the end of this friday, then results after the weekend

16 ballots in at the moment.
― Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 16 February 2012 10:08 (twelve years ago) link
16! Poor show, 2 less than the Manics. Hopefully there's a last minute deluge of ballots.

Jamie - worth asking a Moderator here to amend the thread title and first post so that the (new) deadline is prominently displayed.
― Jeff W, Thursday, 16 February 2012 11:40 (twelve years ago) link
yep done, sorry should have done that before.
― Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 16 February 2012 12:18 (twelve years ago) link
If this doesn't get at least 30 ballots by the end, it's time to fold up shop.

did you get my ballot, Jamie? I never got a confirmation email, & waiting is torture.
― Euler, Thursday, 16 February 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
sorry i've been slow processing them and replying to people, yes i got it
― Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 16 February 2012 15:28 (twelve years ago) link
god you know making a ballot is hard when you find yourself cutting songs you've loved virtually your entire life

indeed, i wanted to vote for a few more left field choices but just couldn't take out the obvious singles

i'm going to try to vote in this

I voted!
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 17 February 2012 03:37 (twelve years ago) link
feel like my ballot is going to be v boring and obvious because 20 tracks for jackson 5 + janet is impossible, leaving aside mj solo
― horseshoe, Friday, 17 February 2012 03:42 (twelve years ago) link
here is my janet jackson challop: "rhythm nation" and "if" are essentially the same song, except "rhythm nation" is better.
― horseshoe, Friday, 17 February 2012 03:45 (twelve years ago) link
I ignored the Jackson 5 utterly, which made my task a little easier.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 17 February 2012 03:47 (twelve years ago) link
but I selected several songs by The Jacksons. Go figure.

xxxp If gives you the Gap Band, Rhythm Nation gives you Sly Stone. you win either way.

I didn't get a confirmation email, should I have done? If not I can just re-send my ballot.
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 17 February 2012 12:04 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, me too. I just generally don't like any tunes with children singing on them, and young MJ is no exception. Voted for several The Jacksons tunes though.
― Tuomas, Friday, 17 February 2012 13:06 (twelve years ago) link
No i'm just slow in replying. don't worry.

Hah. My ballot restores the balance a bit. Nothing on it post-'79 I think!

Tuomas, not even Dancing Machine?

I wasn't going to vote, since I'm not a fan of much solo Jackson stuff, but I can't deal with the thought of ignoring the J5 altogether. Sending a short ballot.
― Steamtable Willie (WmC), Friday, 17 February 2012 14:20 (twelve years ago) link
I adore the Jackson 5 but if I have to include them along with The Jacksons, Janet and Michael on my list it would proved too brain-breaking a task.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 17 February 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
LOL, I wonder how many ballots are exclusively pre- or post-puberty.
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 17 February 2012 14:30 (twelve years ago) link
man only 1 Janet song survived in my top 20. I think she's all right, but she's definitely not my thing as much as the Jackson 5 or pre-Dangerous solo MJ.
― plee help i am lookin for (crüt), Friday, 17 February 2012 14:33 (twelve years ago) link
janet suffered more in my ballot trimming than i expected, felt bad but i also gave her my #1
― CANDY aka JUNK (some dude), Friday, 17 February 2012 14:35 (twelve years ago) link
In my ballot she's the essential distraction b/w Thriller and Bad, and she just soars after 1990.
Speaking of, I hope one of you voted for "Diamonds."
