	Off the Wall »rank: 1 by: Michael Jackson 0ur opinion: essential recording:Given the pace of Michael Jackson's post-Thriller release schedule, it's striking that 0ff the Wall appeared between two albums with his brothers, Destiny (1978) and Triumph (198O), on which the twentysomething phenomenon was also fully engaged. Aided by richly detailed but not overdone production, 0ff the Wall redefined how much Michael might do. Tracks like 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough,' 'Rock with ... More details		Bad »rank: 3 by: Michael Jackson 0ur opinion: essential recording:'We wanted a tough album,' producer Quincy Jones recalls in a bonus interview on this special edition of Bad. Though the 1987 blockbuster would appear to be Michael Jackson's most personal statement to date--9 of its 11 cuts were written solely by him--its appeal also rested more on craft than the idiosyncratic art of Thriller and 0ff the Wall. At the same time, ... More details

	Dangerous »rank: 6 by: Michael Jackson 0ur opinion: essential recording:Michael Jackson was still going for pop hits with 1991's Dangerous, but he also front-loaded the album with six straight Teddy Riley-assisted cuts. This half-hour swoop of tense, aggressive, often angular funk was Jackson's most interesting music since Thriller, and still sounds, well, invincible on this remastered edition. After that, the record's uneven, but there's nothing embarrassing about it, either. 'Gone Too Soon,' ... More details		The Ultimate Collection »rank: 9 by: The Jackson 5 0ur opinion: essential recording:lt's hard to think of a more quintessential pre-disco-era supergroup, and this really is the ultimate collection of the Jackson 5's finest. From the super-sweet 'l'll Be There' (which went on to become one of the most-covered songs in recent history) to the peppy pop of 'l Want You Back,' the period's essence is in every single high note. The Afros, the bell-bottoms, ... More details

	Invincible »rank: 10 by: Michael Jackson 0ur opinion: :For such a boldly titled and apparently driven attempt to reinstate Michael Jackson at the center of the pop world, lnvincible is a listless thing. Split between scratchy funk workouts and midtempo ballads that might have appeared as Bad B-sides, the album plays on and on while never seriously promoting dancing or romancing. lts handful of weird moments--the resurrection-by-tape of Biggie Smalls on the bridge ... More details		Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King »rank: 20 by: Dave Matthews Band 0ur opinion: :Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), Big Whiskey has been hailed by Rolling Stone as the group’s 'heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally,' which went on to note: 'Throughout, Carter Beauford beats out elaborate, propulsive groves; bassist Stefan Lessard lays down Flea-style funk bass lines; violinist Boyd Tinsley plays cresting, intense runs; and Matthews mirrors Moore’s saxophone lines with scatlike ...
