19. The Jackson 5 - ABC (166 points, 7 votes) from ABC, 1970
― Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 23 February 2012 21:51 (1 year ago) Permalink
Didn't vote for 'ABC' - I always see it as 'I Want You Back II', only inferior in every way.

Stranger in Moscow is an okay song (I probably haven't even thought about it since the 90s). How the hell did it end up so high?

because it's a great song

There's nothing obviously "Michael Jackson" about it, though. meh.

I had never even heard "Stranger In Moscow" until MJ died

This feels like the first real challop in this poll (or maybe I'm the one being challopy).

nah, "Stranger in Moscow" is terrific, made my ballot

It's kind of boring

eh, dude, the rhythm of the song is pretty michael jackson, and the way the rest of the song seems to phase in out of nowhere? way exquisite

17. Janet Jackson - The Pleasure Principle (176 points, 7 votes) from Control, 1986
I only learned to love "The Pleasure Principle" in the last five years, particularly the remix.

15. Rebbie Jackson - Centipede (206 points, 8 votes, 1 1st Place Vote) from Centipede, 1984
Hold on, 'Smooth Criminal' way down here?! Only eight votes out of 27?!
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 23 February 2012 23:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
these polls always throw up at least one incredible song that i'm amazed i've never heard; 'centipede' was it this time.

My reaction to this pair:
Smooth Criminal TOO LOWCentipede THIS SONG RULES HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT KNOW ABOUT IT
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 February 2012 23:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'd never heard of "Centipede" before people started talking about it on the prepoll thread.

Rebbie Jackson is actually Condoleeza Rice rite

― Euler, Friday, 24 February 2012 02:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
Awesomeness all around yet again today. Really shocked "Smooth Criminal" landed outside the top 10.
I guess this means I can stop holding out hope for the as-awesome-as-"Centipede"-in-my-opinion "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming."
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 24 February 2012 03:02 (1 year ago) Permalink
Is it heretical to claim Robert Palmer's cover of "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming" is superior?
Nope.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 24 February 2012 03:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's just a great song, in either version. Same with "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On."

For a while the guy had impeccable pitch for electrosoul.

"that's the way love goes" was my top janet track. :( TOO LOW
― horseshoe, Friday, 24 February 2012 03:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
Is it a coincidence that the vibraphone beat in "Empty" reminds me Peter Gabriel's "San Jacinto"?
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 24 February 2012 03:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
I would like to thank this thread for making me listen to lots of Janet Jackson again, because sometimes I forget even though the "Miss You Much" cassingle was the first music thing I ever owned and I made my cousins all learn the "Rhythm Nation" dance
