We were given 4 different choices for number ones, representing 4 different era's of MJ's career. Which one was the one you went with? (Era's are listed per the actual release) I had to get the Bad era CD and DVD. Best cover. Off The Wall era Thriller era Bad era HIStory era

Were you smoking crack when you did this poll Nigel?
The pic you have listed for the Thriller era is from the HIStory tour and the pic you have listed for HIStory is from Dangerous era.
And the answer to the poll is clearly the HIStory era standing on the toes pic. I think the other Number Ones cover has since been deleted and this is the one remaining version still being manufactured.

I've actually added the photos to remind you. Nigel & La Toya 1 - Matty, Tony and Daniel Fucking Beddingfield 0

I voted the Thriller era cover. The reason simply being itβs the most iconic image of the four.

I always hated the cover for Number Ones, and thought it looked really cheap. I much prefer the artwork for The Ultimate Collection, it's a shame Number Ones became the definitive MJ compilation album, with such crappy radio edits and artwork. They should've used a cover like this: Much classier. And take off all the radio edits. Hell, just take off Break of Dawn (which doesn't belong on the album anyway) and then you haven't got to butcher Earth Song, DSTYGE and Thriller.

Yeah, said it before but the fact that Number Ones is the biggest selling MJ compilation makes my toes curl. The last few songs on there are the worst singles of his career & gives ammunition to those who say his career waned towards the end. For a more affordable one that TUC, The Essential is better and fully represents Dangerous & HIStory. Nice cover too.

The entire point of greatest hits/singles compilations is to present the songs as they were heard on the radio and purchased as singles, the idea being if you want more than you get the albums for the full songs. It's like a sampler pack.

For a more affordable one that TUC, The Essential is better and fully represents Dangerous & HIStory. Nice cover too. I think YRMW holds its own amongst the rest of the classic hits. Break of Dawn is a strange inclusion, although I remember reading once that it was planned as the follow up single to OMC, which I can very well believe, as MJ seemed to really love that song. OMC is a nice bonus and I'm glad it was included, otherwise the release would've been very boring for the hardcore fans. Plus it's a very good song, just sounds a bit weak on an album with Smooth Criminal, Earth Song, Billie Jean etc. But loads of artists tack on an extra for the fans on these type of releases, and how many of them stand up amongst the artists best work? Apart from Vogue, I can't think of any GH bonus tracks which became bonafide classics in their own right.
