20. Leave Me Alone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crbFmpezO4A Album: Bad The last track to be featured in Jackson's Bad album and the first to be featured in our countdown is Jackson's "Leave Me Alone". Giving off a psychedelic pop vibe and some awesome use of the piano, "Leave Me Alone" was Jackson merely asking for the constant rumors about him circulating in tabloid newspapers to stop and just to allow him some peace. Originally intended as a bonus track, the song was released as the eighth single from the Bad album and faired well on the charts. It also spawned a really great music video, with Jackson in an amusement park based around these rumors, we see him singing through a hyperbaric chamber as well as seeing him dance with the elephant man's bones. A really catchy, poppy number you'll struggle not to dance to.
19. The Lady In My Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc_KSe6FUoU Album: Thriller One of MJ's less recognizable and under-appreciated songs, "The Lady in My Life" is another one of the great songs from the Thriller album and defiantly one that deserves another listen. It would have to be one of Jackson's best written love songs, giving off a funky vibe mixed with some brilliant vocals. It was the last track to be featured on the Thriller album and it finished it off with a bang. With Thriller however being the most successful album of all time and so many hits to come from it, "The Lady in My Life" was overlooked for a single release. Still even though it isn't one of MJ's all time bests, it definitely earns its spot.
