Michael Jackson: His 20 Best Tracks

10. Human Nature

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kql0ld02SS4 Album: Thriller Probably the greatest Michael Jackson song not to be written by Michael Jackson, the smooth, soft rock styling of 'Human Nature" was a big hit for the Thriller album and one that remains high up there in MJ's best songs. Elements of soul and adult contemporary are present in the track and the sound of Jackson's voice quiver and the smoothness in his vocals, remain quite memorable. It was the last track to be put on MJ's Thriller album, bouncing off the Jackson written song 'Carousel". "Human Nature" was released as the fifth single to come from Thriller, with fans praising the soft rock vibes of the catchy ballad. A track that was to feature on all of Jackson's tours and definitely a fan favourite.

9. They Don't Care About Us

Although some remain a bit questionable about the song's context, is again another piece of art to come from the King of Pop. One of MJ's most emotional tracks, "They Don't Care About Us" was definitely a step away from his previous work but one that was still well received. The composition of the track gave off an angry vibe and combined with the lyrics gave a strong indication of frustration and anguish. As well as earlier tracks listed, this is one of the tracks where it showed Jackson's strength as a song writer. As well as being a likeable song, it came with a powerful message. Michael Jackson really just wanted peace, the good thing is it came with some incredible music.
