    I didnt list his earlier work at Motown, since most people these days think Michaels first "real" solo Album is OtW anyway

    My pick is "Bad".

    Thriller has his best singles, but Bad overall is the stronger Album imo.

    Really tough, Thriller got iconic songs but I'm also going with Bad.

    Can't believe that he managed to put out something like Bad AFTER thriller. The pressure was definitely on.

    You are missing Blood On The Dance Floor in there. which contains some very dope songs (some of my favorites) such as Morphine, Too Bad, Superfly Sister, Is It Scary, Ghosts... all of them FIRE songs. The song Morphine gives me goosebumps every time.

    For me Thriller is his best album. It has it all. Plus that whole MJ era was simply magical.
    But I wouldn't be able to list the rest of the albums in any particular order. Today it could be Dangerous, tomorrow it could be Bad, it changes day to day for me.

    I don't know if he felt pressure at all. We are talking about a person who had been in the spotlight since he was 5 years old. Five f---ing years old. On camera, recording, dancing, touring. He didn't feel any pressure, I think he was eager to show the world what he could do on his own. If anything, the pressure was on when he decided to leave his brothers and do Off The Wall.

    As much as I love Invincible, Bad is the GOAT
