Thriller

Michael Jackson is one of the significant cultural figures of the 20th century and has been aptly named the King of Pop. Thriller(1982) is his sixth album where he moved away from Disco and more into Pop, Rock and Punk genres

1.Wanna be Startin Something-About naysayers and how they will be trying to pull you down constantly, based on La Tonya Jackson and her troubled relationship with her sister in laws

2.Baby be Mine-Love song that has pleasant R&B sounds filling it

3.The Girl is Mine-Song where 2 guys(Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney) are fighting it out for a Girl they love

4.Thriller-Title song of the album. Spooky voices and horror sounds made people associate it with Halloween

5.Beat It– Rock song telling that he doesn’t need to prove anything, Rival gang will try to pull you into their fight but its just not worth it

6.Billie Jean-A girl fan accusing Jackson that he is the father of her child and he refusing it through the song. Has a very catchy hook

7.Human Nature– Jackson tells that it is the human nature to blend in with the society and experiencing the funs and thrills of it. Ironically his stardom made this impossible

8&9.Pretty Young Thing(P.Y.T) and The Lady in My Life– Rock Song and a Ballad about love form the final tracks that beautifully ends the album
