One of my favorite Jacksons tracks, seriously:

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

torture is so incredible

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.

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.

yep done, sorry should have done that before.

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.

sorry i've been slow processing them and replying to people, yes i got it

god you know making a ballot is hard when you find yourself cutting songs you've loved virtually your entire life

^OTFM

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

only 16?? :(

i'm going to try to vote in this

I voted!

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

here is my janet jackson challop: "rhythm nation" and "if" are essentially the same song, except "rhythm nation" is better.

I ignored the Jackson 5 utterly, which made my task a little easier.

but I selected several songs by The Jacksons. Go figure.

no "i want you back" no cred >:[

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

I ignored the Jackson 5 utterly

what the... but how... but...

I didn't get a confirmation email, should I have done? If not I can just re-send my ballot.

I ignored the Jackson 5 utterly

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.

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.

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.

LOL, I wonder how many ballots are exclusively pre- or post-puberty.

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.

janet suffered more in my ballot trimming than i expected, felt bad but i also gave her my #1

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."

Pretty sure my ballot was half Janet.

Mine too.

And nothing pre-1977 except for "I Wanna Be Where You Are."

A Janet song also had my biggest fall from grace, I guess. If this poll had been done 10 years ago, "Together Again" might have been my number 2 or 3. Now it wasn't even on my shortlist of 40 or so.

haha please tell me Alfred is the only person here with a Bad-heavy ballot

Sorry I didn't vote during the og run, thought this was just the Jacksons. But I voted for 20 Janet songs and boy was that hard. Already I am thinking of things I missed by her. OMG i love her so much (well 80s and 90s janet - maybe i should give the past couple records another try.)

for your consideration:

okay cool we're on 23 ballots now so enough to make it work

I'm gonna hammer out a ballot at work today, so it will probably arrive really close to the deadline.
