What was your favourite Michael Jackson song?

Earth Song always reminds me of Jarvis Cocker's infamous "stage-Jacking" of MJ's 1996 Brit Awards performance.

WAY too many choices for a poll.
(Dirty Diana, Thriller, Wanna Be Starting Something and Beat It are my favorites BTW. Honorable mention: Jackson 5's "Can You Feel It".)
What was your favourite Michael Jackson song?
Thought I'd ask after reading this news article [BBC] about the new found popularity of Man In The Mirror.
I thought about making this a poll, but it would just be too long and I'd inevitably miss the one track you're looking for
Me, I'm undecided. I do love Man In The Mirror too though...

Mine's actually one of his later songs... Butterflies. Also Man In The Mirror, Thriller, you know, all that stuff....
EDIT: Incidentally, anyone know of a source for the Butterflies mix that has the hip-hop solo in the middle? The album version is just singing, but there's a version that played on the radio when that song came out that had a rap verse.

Any Michael Jackson song remade by Weird Al?
Seriously, Billie Jean has to be one of the catchiest songs ever written. Black or White, and, of course, Thriller are right up there for me. Though I have to say I have never been that much of a MJ fan.

The Thriller video is just incredible. One of my favourites of all time, although I'm not much of a music video person.
Other than that, it's Billie Jean.

My favorite is not "his" Song, it's a rockwell song, "Somebody's Watching Me".

Yes! Yes! Forgot about this great gem-- loves it...
Hate, hate hate the song and video Thriller. Completely overrated.
Love, love love Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'. How can anyone not feel:
Ma Ma Se,
Ma Ma Sa, Ma Ma Coo Sa
Ma Ma Se, Ma Ma Sa,
Ma Ma Coo Sa
Can't stand his videos-- just overblown and over-budgeted spectacles, BUT In The Closet was superb. Shot by the amazing Herb Ritts and co-starring the then beautiful but already crazy Naomi Campbell, this was sleek and slick and showcased Michael as I would prefer him-- stripped off all his tacky costumes and silly spectacles. (Would have love to see how In The Closet would have been, visually and aurally, had he worked with Madonna on it, as originally intended. But apparently, she rejected the collaboration because Michael only wanted a provocative title for the song, while Madonna wanted a provocative song and image for the video.)
