and "thriller" clearly was.

good stuff on there, though. i ain't gonna front. i brought it as soon as it came out.

was it better than "off the wall"? um...it depends on whom you ask, i guess.

my take: "off the wall" was a better r&b album, "thriller" was a better pop album.

both were good.

but "thriller" was when mike clearly conquered the music world, and it has its place.
