Michael Jackson: "Thriller"

Released in 1982,

this was Michael Jackson's sixth (6th) studio LP.

This is one of the most successful albums of all time,

most awarded, most discussed, most listened to.

The ground-breaking video for the title song

came early in the history of full-production "music videos,"

and it remains among the most stunningly brilliant videos ever produced.

We Are The World

This LP, released in 1985, was irresistible for at least three reasons:

1. All proceeds went to charitable aid for crises in Africa.

2. The song itself was just simply and absolutely HUGE at the time.

3. The one-time only supergroup "USA for Africa" was such a ridiculously stunning gathering of superstars from virtually every genre of music it was a fabulously historical recording.  It is still utterly crazy to look at a list of the artists involved in this project.

Michael Jackson: "Off the Wall"

This was Michael Jackson's fifth solo LP, released in 1979 at the height of the disco craze. The music on this LP is straight-up disco, but let's face it - it is contagious and ridiculously danceable. "Rock with You" "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" "Burn this Disco Out" "Workin' Day and Night" "Get on the Floor" Come on! I'm tapping my feet just thinkin' about it.

Yes. Glowing white socks. Here's a closer look:

I sold this before Michael Jackson passed away, and a fan in Germany has it now.
