Fugazzi Grand III : My Top 500 Albums (#16)

(#16, Off the Wall by Michael Jackson)

Two arguments that I've been having for my entire adult live have been who is the greatest baseball player, Babe Ruth or Willie Mays, and what is the greatest Michael Jackson album of all time.  Most will say Babe Ruth and Thriller.  I'll take Willie Mays and Off the Wall.  Yes, Thriller had the backing of the monster known simply as MTV, and the videos are unforgettable.  But musically, vocally, sonically, Off the Wall is the better record.  And Willie Mays hits 1,000 homers and steals 1,000 bases if he was allowed to play in Babe Ruth's era ...







Take a listen to "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Rock With You" ...
