Just watched Destiny tour 1979 for the first time (quality was shit but what a show!) and I feel like doing a Jackson 5 thread. Do you have a favourite album/show/era? What are your favourite songs? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Only own a Greatest Hits for J5. But man, I love me some Jacksons. I think the run of albums from The Jacksons, Goin Places, Destiny and Triumph were fantastic. They really came into their own when they left Motown and felt like they had to re-establish themselves as a serious adult group. Every album was stronger than the last as the input from the brothers increased with every subsequent release.

I've never watched a full Jacksons show to my shame. I only ever watch officially released stuff so holding out for that.
I do have the Jacksons Live CD though which is great. The Jackson 5 live at the Forum is stunning and I recommend that to anyone with ears and a heart.
I'm not as knowledgeable as many here on the Jacksons, I can't get into Triumph or Destiny as much as others do.
Favourite song by a long shot is Heartbreak Hotel but then I sort of think of it as a solo song.
Others... Dancing Machine Shake Your Body Can You Feel It
So the usual really!

Surely you like Walk Right Now also?? That song is incredible.

Yeah I don't think these albums are as good as his solo stuff,but I like Push Me Away, Destiny, Can You Feel it,Heartbreak Hotel and Torture almost just as much as any MJ solo song. The Destiny tour is fantastic. MJ's vocals are flawless, his energy is crazy and he looks fine (okay that's just good for me lol). But the setlists are so fucking short. Argh. I'm dying for a Triumph tour release. The snippets in Off The Wall Documentary give me life.

Is this man even human?! Β *sigh*. Isn't it ironic. MJ is one of the greatest entertainers but his worst concert (History Tour Munich) has the greatest quality and most clicks on YT while there is hardly any good quality footage of Destiny/Triumph tour.

Love me some Jacksons and Jackson 5. I have several albums and cuts, but not everything.
I have a series of 8 CD's called Hitsville USA from the early 1990s covering Motown songs from 1959 to 1992 and there is a bit of J5 and Jermaine on it. Also MJ's One day in your life (A cash in by Motown in 1981, but such a beautiful song).
I also have the essential Jacksons, which has a disc of material from I want u back to 2 songs off 2300 Jackson street.
I have original vinyl albums of ABC and Diana Ross Presents of the J5 and Destiny and Triumph of the Jacksons and for some reason a 12 inch single of "Nothing that compares 2 U" that New Jack Princey thing the brothers did sans Michael in late 88, early 89.
My favourite eras are Jacksons era 1976 and Triumph era 1980. Triumph edges out Destiny as their best album. That album has so many great songs like Walk Right Now, this place hotel, Lovely One and many more, yet Can you feel it has never appealed to me. Part of the reason why it is my username.
Walk right now and This Place Hotel are in my Top 10 of all time, those 2 songs I mean entirely - WOW, Michael you were wrong slamming that song on Moonwalk.

I read Moonwalk a long time ago, what did he say about Walk Right Now? I can't decide whether I like Destiny or Triumph better ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I need to get it out, but someone on my Top 100 songs thread said that Michael ran that song down saying it was a mistake, surprised if he did as those songs inspired the ones on Thriller.
Maybe they could have got confused, as the name of the song Heartbreak Hotel had to be changed to "This place hotel" because of a claim by the Presley estate (Long before MJ had started buying song catalogues and hanging out with Lisa Marie).

I LOVE the Jacksons catalog and I really enjoy a lot of the Jackson 5 catalog. The 1969-1978 catalog is underrated imo
My favorites from the Jackson 5 era 1. The Love You Save 2. Don't Say Goodbye Again (This is one I feel could've fit well on the Triumph and Victory tour setlists) 3. I Want You Back 4. Can You Remember 5. It's Too Late To Change The Time 6. Dancing Machine 7. We're Here To Entertain You 8. Who's Loving You 9. You're My Best Friend, My Love 10. What You Don't Know 11. Breezy 12. Never Can Say Goodbye 13. Buttercup 14. You Were Made Especially For Me 15. One More Chance 16. All I Do Is think of You 17. Corner of The Sky 18. To Know 19. Darling Dear 20. Body Language
Uppermost, Mama's Pearl, I'll Be There, The Wall....so many wonderful cuts.
My favorites from the Jacksons era Blues Away Show You The Way to Go Style of Life Even Though You're Gone Jump For Joy Do What You Wanna Heartbreak Hotel Lovely One Walk Right Now (My jaw dropped when I found out this was performed during the first shows in the Triumph tour) Your Ways Push Me Away That's What You Get For Being Polite Time Waits For No One State of Shock The Hurt (This should've been a single instead of Body)

I'm watching Triumph Tour (quality is shit as usual). This show looks so great! It could be the best next to Bad Tour!
Why, oh why aren't Destiny And Triumph Tour released. What is the specific reason, anyone know?
