    Bad is the seventh studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987. Jackson co-produced the album and composed all but two tracks. Nine songs were released as singles. Seven charted in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with an estimated 35 million copies sold worldwide. In 2017, the album was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over ten million copies in the United States.

    "Leave Me Alone" was not included on the original vinyl or cassette releases but was included on the CD release and now is included in all releases

    Bad, not his best piece of work, but I guess to each his own.

    Was Man in the Mirror really on Bad? It seems like the MTV video came a few years later. That's the first time I heard that song. Probably one of my top three, along with Smooth Criminal and Dirty Diana.

    Shhhh - don't let 'em know what you like! It'll go in the first round!!!! :lol: (I don't know who 'them' is, but ya know...  :mrgreen: )

    This is an interesting one to drop - did not expect a Michael Jackson album. I'm going to have to listen to some of the lesser known tracks. You have really done a great job spanning across genres @MedozK  Interesting selection so far! :clap:

    I was never an MJ fan, but my brother had Bad on vinyl. I was almost 11 when it came out, and at the age where I listened to the whole Top 40 countdown on the radio every week. The singles were everywhere so it was hard to escape it.

    I can’t really remember the non-single tracks though so they’ll get the first votes.

    Easy first choice. But you’re missing Leave Me Alone, track 11.
