The only track I think I have omitted is We Are The World. GET VOTING!

I love the way it builds up and goes from disappointed to absolutely furious in the end. I remember seeing him perform it live on the German TV show "Wetten dass." I've never heard of Jackson before that and was obsessed with him after seeing it.

Earth Song was the first Michael Jackson single I remember from its original release. The record coincided with the period when I first began to – though be it, vague – attention to the charts and popular music. It was 1995 and I was 12 years-old. I think I may have had the single on cassette at one point.

It was a massive hit here in the UK, though I understand it failed to register stateside.

This video must have cost a packet!

So it gets my vote. That plus the opening noise sounds just like the opening of that Waters-less Pink Floyd track Yet Another Movie. None of it really moves me, if you want the truth.

Creepy too, considering his death: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRrGO_nebf4 wouldn't sound out of place on a Rob Zombie album. You gotta hand it to him. Whether you like his style of music or not, he never released anything mediocre.
