Surprised to see a few mentions of Black or White on here. I always figured it'd be a casual fan favourite but not one the real fans would go for. Same for Heal the World. I have seen so many general public people mention Heal the World when asked about their favorite MJ song.

Epic doesn't always mean better.

Yes. It's a toss up between YANA and RTT for my favourite MJ song of the 90s. Epic doesn't always mean better. Yeah but like, better means better. Objectively, Earth Song is more of a wow-moment, a masterpiece etc. But I've overplayed it and sadly, it doesn't move me like it once did. YANA I've heard just as much, probably more, and it still sounds like bliss to my ears.

Tell that to TonyR Good to see the love for Baby Be Mine, I considered that one too. I adore Baby Be Mine. It's like Rock With You's grown up cousin. It's an interesting thread, because some of the bigger, better known and some would say "better" MJ songs are not actually what I would go for 20-30yrs later. Some songs stand up to repeated listens better over the years than others and it's not just down to being overplayed. I can listen to songs like "Earth Song" or "Beat It" and they leave me numb these days, even though I know they are phenomenal songs. Obviously there are album tracks which you don't hear as much on the radio or see on performances/shortfilms etc which perhaps have a more lasting appeal, simply because you haven't heard them half as much. But then there are songs like "You Are Not Alone", "Man In The Mirror", "Stranger In Moscow", "Startin Somethin'", "Rock With You" etc which still sound magnificent even though you've heard them a gazillion times.
