Free Music Notes for Number Ones
Free Music Review: a beautiful record from a beautiful man
Hit: 5 Stars
"Number Ones" is Michael Jackson's most concise and comprehensive greatest hits collection, that spans his entire solo career from the late seventies all the way to the early '00s.
from Michael's '79 album Off the Wall:
1) DON'T STOP 'TILL YOU GET ENOUGH - 3:55
This is pure dance. It's like Michael's version of Saturday Night Fever because it totally has a disco feel with its rhythms and beats. I really enjoy it.
2) ROCK WITH YOU - 3:40
"Rock With You" picks up where "Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough" leaves off. But this is more of a smooth and sexy lyrical track. Michael sounds so confident and assured as he sings "I want to rock with you all night..."
from Michael's '82 album Thriller:
3) BILLIE JEAN - 4:52
This is the Michael that millions and millions of kids, all over the globe, completely fell in love with. Even though I was only a baby when this song came out, "Billie Jean" has always been my very favorite Michael Jackson song. It's the type of song that you can dance to, listen to when you're feeling down, or load it into your iPod and listen to it on a regular basis. Because it has a great hook, a fantastic beat and awesome lyrics that are both powerful and universal. "Just remember to always think twice..."
4) BEAT IT - 4:17
"Beat It" is almost like the precursor to Michael's #1 hit "Bad". It's a very fast and danceable song that is just as much eighties as any of Michael's earlier tracks are seventies staples. This song really helped bridge the gap between the urban dancers and suburban listeners who didn't know what break-dancing was until this song.
5) THRILLER - 5:11
Again, this is one of my very favorite songs and I am sure it's one of your favorites, too. It's a frightening mix of dance, R&B and hip hip. Every time I listen to this song I think of the classic slasher movies of the eighties; it's like a roller coaster, it's scary, but in a thrilling and safe way.
from Michael's '87 album Bad:
6) I JUST CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU - 4:11
This is one of Michael's first big hit ballads and one of his biggest hits from the "Bad" album. "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" showcases an entirely new sound and proves that Michael is a multidimensional artist who can sing, write and perform a large array of melodies.
7) BAD - 4:06
I just adore this song, it's one of Michael's signature hits. I enjoy how it starts out with the horns and then the drums; it's very creative. Michael's voice sounds even more beauteous and enigmatic on this track and this is another one of his songs that showcases yet another incredibly successful and incredibly unique sound.
8) SMOOTH CRIMINAL - 4:16
This is almost like a notch below "Bad" in terms of the beat and the pace of the track. Michael is singing to a lady named Annie as he pushes through this fast-paced song. The ending instrumental sounds almost like an extended remix because it goes on with the repeat of the chorus which sounds perfect together, as one.
9) THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL - 4:57
This is one of my very favorite songs from "Bad". It's a great dance song to rock to, or a fantastic date song. It's moving and beautiful and both the lyrics and background melody match like that missing piece that you've been searching for to go into your jigsaw puzzle; it's all a precise fit.
10) MAN IN THE MIRROR - 5:03
Besides "Billie Jean" this is probably my very favorite Michael Jackson track. And as any longtime or casual fan knows that's no easy accomplishment from a man who's career spans 5 decades and countless hit records. But this song is so moving and so tremendously powerful. The lyrics are eternal and like Michael's legacy will live on forever. "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and change," those are words to live by, as far as I'm concerned. Like the man who sang it, this song will always be a reminder to me to show others compassion and understanding.
11) DIRTY DIANA - 4:40
The song starts out a little slow but boy does it pick up pace. It hits you like a ton of bricks. This is a fast-paced R&B hit that is extremely underrated. It also has a hard rock feel to it which isn't unusual for a man that crossed all musical borders.
from Michael's '91 album Dangerous:
12) BLACK OR WHITE - 3:18
This is why they call Michael The King of Pop, because this is truly why he's the King! I was in junior high when this song came out and I can remember listening to the cassette every morning on the bus to school. It's another fast and danceable track that has a very firm and grounded message that is just as important as it is beautiful.
from Michael's '95 album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I:
13) YOU ARE NOT ALONE - 4:33
This is a slow pop hit with lots of catchy background beats. It's the type of song that will comfort you when you feel like you're alone or otherwise forgotten.
14) EARTH SONG - 5:00
This song mixes a wide rang of musical genres and is another one of Michael's signature ballads. With it's moving phrases and lyrics, perhaps it no coincidence that this is one of Micahel's singles that he was most the proud of.
from Michael's '01 album Invincible:
15) YOU ROCK MY WORLD - 4:26
This is one of Michael's newer songs that has such a retro sound. The background sounds with the strings are amazing. And, Michael as usual sounds flawless and has matching lyrics to go along with the beat.
16) BREAK OF DAWN - 5:29
This is a mid-tempo song that's somewhat fast and somewhat slow. It's reminiscent of some of Michael's earlier tracks on "Bad". But "Break of Dawn" firmly has its own identity as one of Michael's very best and most powerful songs of the new millennium.
brand-new track for this album:
17) ONE MORE CHANCE - 3:48
This is a new single that was released for "Number Ones". Michael doesn't disappoint as this song is just as fresh and danceable as any of the other tracks. Of course it's a mix of pop, rock, R&B and a little hip hop thrown in for good measure.
from the '81 album The Jacksons Live:
18) BEN (LIVE) - 2:58
The very first time I can remember hearing this song was on a Simpsons episode. At the time I was too young to realize that it was one of Michael's greatest hits. Nor did I know that it was a song about an animal. But it's a sweet and perhaps even sad song that showcases Michael's early affinity to the animal kingdom.
MICHAEL JACKSON...
The greatest entertainer of the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s & '00s...
...Past, preset & future
The King of Pop will live forever as his legacy will always be in his art...
... that is (t)his music.
