Hi Dawn  I'm only familiar with a couple of tracks Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough add Rock With You - I always liked both - back then he was still releasing quality material. |

I love nearly all of MJ's albums, and this is no exception. Absolutely LOVE the 2 #1's (the ones Ken mentioned), plus the title tune and Working day and night. Never raved over "She's out of my life".

I love this album, because there was no plastic surgery, no 15 minute videos, no white glove, no moonwalk..... This was Michael before mega-stardom, and a very good album!

Both of the songs you mentioned are great, and always take me right back to 6th grade! I would definitely recommend this album - it's solid all the way through. |

Never raved over "She's out of my life". 'Off the Wall' is probably my favorite song on the album, although I love the #1's as well. 'Working Day and Night' is a great album track. |

Michael was definitely at his best before all of the pressures of stardom began to get to him. There are some excellent songs on this album! |

Good album with a lot of dance potential.  Got a bit tired of "She's Out of My Life",though.  |

Ah, back when Michael was a black man with a potential for liking girls. Not a white wannabe, who knows what that sleeps with little boys!
And his last two TRULY great songs, IMO.
Love both Rock With You and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. Second one is good for parties!
Thriller is EH to me.

Love both Rock With You and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. Second one is good for parties! Thriller is EH to me. I agree. For me it's almost like there are two separate Michaels. He has tremendous talent, or at least he did at one time, but some of the things he's done in recent years have been very disturbing. Both of those songs are great! |
