...and it blew my socks off. I was a strict church kid till I was 18, and all I knew from "Thriller" were the big singles ("Thriller," "Wanna Be Starting Something," "Beat It," etc.) When I finally bought the full CD in 1998, I was floored by the beautiful simplicity of this song. Truly amazing!

I don't know if I would put "Thriller" in the same standing as "Songs in the Key" (I'm a DIE HARD Steve fan, so I am naturally biased) or "What's Going On?," but it is an amazing collection of music.

I honestly think "Thriller" was a blessing and a curse for Mike. He made the best selling album of all time, but he was never able to repeat it.
