For Episode 95, we finally take on the King of Pop: Michael Jackson.
Sounds easy, right? Just grab six monster hits and call it a day? Not so fast, moonwalker. This is The Perfect Album Side, which means rules, categories, painful omissions, questionable research, and at least one moment where Steve has to look directly into the man in the mirror and admit he screwed up.
We build the perfect Michael Jackson side across album openers, iconic videos, duets, number-one hits, wild cards, and album closers...
Along the way: the glove, the fedora, the moonwalk, Janet Jackson, Paul McCartney, a rat ballad, “Annie, are you okay?”, and enough massive songs left off the final side to start a street fight at a karaoke bar.
It’s Michael Jackson. It’s impossible. We did it anyway.
One idea. Six songs. Infinite possibilities...
