Michael Jackson has passed on… but he lives forever in digital form and we can celebrate his life.

Here are *my* Top 10 Michael Jackson Songs. They are not in order of preference because they’re all great to me and I believe most people will vote “Thriller” as number 1.

Other than being “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson’s also the “King of Music Television” in my opinion… because they don’t make music videos like these anymore.

*NOTE: Some (or most) of these videos may be disabled by embedding but you can still click on the videos to be brought to the actual video on YouTube and you can watch it there!*

Black Or White: Does the lyrics still apply today? Heck yeah. Even more so.

Remember The Time: Well, phones and Spain with a dance scene in Egypt. Plus, Eddie Murphy!

Liberian Girl: Try naming all the stars you see in the video! (Answers at end of video)

Will You Be There: Some people (like me) remember this song as “River Jordan”… or maybe it’s just me

Speed Demon: Pull over and get your ticket

Smooth Criminal: Who can forget that “other” trademark?

Beat It: I think this is where a lot of “Face Off” dance sequences seen in dance competition got started

Billie Jean: David Cook did a cover of this on American Idol (which I liked) but still… here’s the original (and where the “Moonwalk” was born!)

Bad: The classic Michael Jackson in black… but after being black. Okay, my bad. Nevermind, I’m digging myself to nowhere.

OH CRAP!

I ran out of 10 slots! And I haven’t inserted the classic Thriller yet!

Ah… there we go.

These are *my* top 10 (okay, maybe 11) and I know there are waaaay more great hits I haven’t mentioned here. Nevertheless, Michael, you’ve done great. You deserve a good rest now.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.
