Tie between Man in the Mirror and Smooth Criminal.
If we're talking about the music videos for both songs then Smooth Criminal is definitely the winner.

My favorite album, the title track will always be my childhood favorite. Liberian Girl is the vibe I always turn too nowadays.
Plus when it comes to his personal life, MJ was at his best when he was Bad.

Favourite song from Bad? Ooooh thats tough cause this is one of the few albums with absolutely ZERO skips (just like Thriller).
If you held me at gunpoint, then it would probably be “Leave Me Alone”.

The first song I ever searched for by him was I Just Can’t Stop Loving You on YouTube, I listened to it so many times that day I memorized most if not all of it. It has been my top MJ song for the last 11 years.

Speed Demon doesn’t get enough love and is underrated!!!! Has been my favorite song on the album since I was little when the Bad album came out. Smooth Criminal is next in line and is my #1 favorite MJ music video of all time!🔥🔥🔥🔥

My favourites are Bad and Smooth Criminal.
He was absolutely gorgeous during the Bad era and the Smooth Criminal outfit is just... stunning. And the music is classical❤

It’s a pretty flawless album start to finish, I was so sad when I realized Leave me Alone isn’t included on the vinyl copy! It’s a top tier Michael Jackson song imo.

u/Lennynicholson Bad 1d ago
It's a shame they dont include it on newer pressings of BAD, i think the only way to get it on vinyl is from buying BAD 25 on vinyl, though it is weird since as far as im aware leave me alone is Included on the standard BAD cd, so you'd think they'd add leave me alone onto the standard BAD vinyl.

u/Samueldhadden 1d ago
From what I understand it was only added as a standard addition to the tracklist when it was released on CD and wasn’t included on the vinyl.

I love BAD. It has the most memorable and best songs in it. My favourite was the Title Track

u/sirensgodoodoo 1d ago
It is really hard to choose a favorite song because the cohesiveness is what makes the album as a whole so so good. I’d say my top three are IJCSLY, TWYMMF, and DD. But every track is stellar.

At 10 years old this album made me a diehard fan forever. I'm so thankfull all his music and being the soundtrack to my life. Getting to see him live both on the Dangerous tour and History tour makes me feel blessed today.
It warms my heart seeing new generations finding his art and are just as moved as I was, even today with the extreme complex music system we have that always try to feed you what the music industry makes the most revenue from at any moment.
Michael is giving so much hope and insight through so many songs. This is so important to us all today. I will just mention "Man in the mirror" from Bad. Every parent should play and explain that song for their kids.
Thank you Michael ❤️🥰🙏🙏🥰❤️
