For me, it’s Smooth Criminal. Twenty years later, it still holds up. Obviously, Thriller and Beat It are great, but I don’t want to highlight what everyone loves already.

I’m surprised that I’m a little wistful that Michael Jackson died. I’m not a fan of celebrity culture or feeling sad when strangers with nothing in common with you pass away, but his death reawoken some old memories I haven’t thought of in a while, like trying to learn how to moonwalk or (and this will seem bizarre to most of you) a sense of joy watching Weird Al Yankovic parody Beat It with Eat it.
