....and it couldn't be Invincible, what would you select and why?
(I'm referring to his albums from Off the Wall to BOTDF).
A mysterious stranger approaches you, and says you must select one album to be obliterated from existence. This would, of course, mean the joining videos and tour of that era would not exist. You have to make a decision. What's your choice and why?

I'm guessing most will pick OFW or BOTDF? The risk of losing the Bad Tour, Dangerous and HIStory era is too much lol. But then if you pick BOTD, you'd lose Ghosts...argh!

This thread is evil I would have chosen Invincible simply for the fact that there was no tour, the fight with Sony, MJ's obvious health problems... it wasn't really an era for me. But If I had to remove another album it would have been OTW.

Why do we give a pass to Invincible?

Why do we give a pass to Invincible? I think Invincible would be a very, very popular choice.

^^ By that logic, you may as well remove BOTD from the discussion as well, as I don't think many people would choose a remix album over a full length studio album. Although if you're counting the music videos as well, then Ghosts would make a very strong case for choosing BOTD over another album.

I think many fans could live without YRMW, Cry or One More Chance but without Ghosts? Hell no!

Mattyjam - I mentioned in my original post that the decision would be made hard by the attached tours and music videos of that album/era... this is why I really couldn't personally lose BOTDF, because of Ghosts. I love Ghosts waaaay too much! I think my own vote would have to be OTW but that is a painful, painful thought lol. I did consider Bad until I realised I'd lose Smooth Criminal (song and video). So, yes, my vote sadly goes to OTW. Which, I do want to add, I love as an album. This is only supposed to be a light-hearted topic. No offense to MJ's gorgeous body of work of course!

Yeah, I'm picking Invincible hehe. Try and stop me On the plus side, there's not much released material during that era to obliterate anyway, and a lot of the superior, unreleased material from that album would still exist given it wasn't released at the time and thus won't come until obliteration Although, if you include posthumous albums, that very quickly switches to Michael. That album shouldn't even grace the name of Michael Jackson.

Ha! I love the controversy this has caused. You have to love Invincible for that For me it would be Off The Wall. As much as love it, it definitely couldn't be Dangerous, Bad or HIStory as they contain his best work. Thriller has WBSS, PYT, Lady In My Life. Not to mention the obvious ones. I'd miss WDAN, BTDO and SOOML et al but I could live without them. I'd choose keeping Dangerous or HIStory over my left bollock.
