Off The Wall is his best album by far
oh hell one of the best albums no matter what genre you like
@@TheCybertiger9 true!
his funkiest album
I agree. Off The Wall is his best. I'd put Thriller 2nd.
That was Michael at his peak and at his best. Really it was. He looked great too! Never needed to change his appearance. His musical talent spoke for itself. So much raw talent and energy. Will always love his music.
It's still one of the best selling albums of all time since its release in 1979, it is still a favourite album of vinyl record collectors.
Off The Wall,in my opinion,is his best album!!!
Many people don’t realize what MJ did to the music industry with “Off The Wall”. At the time there was a rebellion against Disco and many artists and record executives were not sure what direction to go in. This album changed all of that. “Thriller” was a pop culture phenomenon. But “Off The Wall” is the one that gets people on the dance floor🎼🔥🕺🏾
Disco was over by then
This was a big hit during the disco era too. Lots of people dancing to this tune Friday and Saturday nights at the disco. I was 22 in 1979. Loved those 70s! It was Off The Wall for sure!
Michael doing a Rod Temperton song-a killer combination!
Best dance song off this album definitely “Don’t Stop to You Get Enough” IMO… percussions and rhythm section is in a league of its own .. always drew everyone to the floor
"Get On The Floor", it has the laughter from MJ where you can tell he has it going !
My favourite MJ album too, and the best song off the album.
70s that's why
This is a great song to dance to. This song was written by Rod Temperton who was songwriter and a member of the group Heatwave. He later went on to write songs for several artistes including Michael. He also wrote 'Rock with You' and collaborated with Quincey Jones. Good moving Angela! 5 for this one-Colin Ward
This is officially my *FAVORITE* MJ song of all time. This was also the first album I ever bought back when it came out
An album filled with the great musicians of the 70s including those from the Bros. Johnson, Seawind (horns), of course produced with the "Dude" himself Quincy Jones.
This was his best album... as I share, back when the brother was still black full of soul, r&b, and funk. As the baby of four, I was the one that was stuck in the reverse back seat in the seat of a Ford LTD station wagon and we bumped this album and song on an 8track!
He is always black no matter how much his vitiligo changed his appearance on the outside.
Indeed, a prototype "Thriller".
Agree, Awesome Album, Working Day And Night Fantastic Track.
My faves from this album Off The Wall, a five for me as well Angela, and then I Can't Help It, dream-like and romantic
You're right Angela , the beginning is mostly the same than the beginning of Thriller ! (Some songs of Thriller and Off the Wall are written by the genius Rod Temperton (An English compositor who write too for the band Heat Wave , and in your playlist , I heard songs of that good band) . (De Belgique Francophone, Europe / Belgium, Europe) 😊🖐
I Can’t Help It is an underrated gem of a song. Shows Michael’s range and smooth vocal control. Has an easy breezy jazzish vibe that makes it so enjoyable.
I have just two MJ albums, Off the Wall and Thriller, my favourite out of the two is this one Off the Wall. RIP Michael your legend lives on.
That bass line is just too filthy
MJ was such a great musical talent.
Great song but I liked Don't Stop from that album. Agree Off the Wall all was dynamite album, my favorite MJ. Destiny album also classic with Jackson's. Thriller bigger because MTV came along.
Yes preferred Don't Stop and absolutely agree Destiny was a fabulous album. I used to play it every evening for months 😅
I love the 70's and ofcourse the king of pop. Keep it coming!!
This is one of the few album title tracks that I enjoy. Written by the late, great Rod Temperton of Heatwave (who wrote tracks for that group, MJ, George Benson, Michael McDonald, James Ingram, and more). Rod also wrote "Thriller," so there would definitely be some similarities between that and this track. Also, the bassline for this song is reminiscent of the Heatwave hit "Boogie Nights."
This is my favorite song off of Off The Wall album thanks so much. Continue to R.I.P King of pop Michael Jackson ❤
This song was written by Rod Temperton who also wrote Thriller. So the similarities between the two are probably not coincidental. By the way, another song that should be on this list is "In the Stone" (released in 1979) with Earth Wind & Fire! It's a great dance track.
Hi Angela 😊 Great reaction to Michael Jackson's Off The Wall😊👍 I agree with you number five on the Boogie Meter...hit the dance floor after screaming and grab your partner and go to the dance floor 😊 Michael Jackson had a great groove when he came back 😊 Have a great day and bye 😊👍
Angela, i share your deep love of this track. Although i mostly DJ genres like house, dub, acid jazz, latin jazz, downtempo/trip hop, Afrobeat, and underground hip hop on my radio program, I always find some time for old skool funk/soul grooves and the like, and whenever i throw this song into my set, it always makes me smile…and groove out! Timeless and awesome!
Angela will be very surprised to learn that both "Off the Wall" and "Rock with You" were first offered to Karen Carpenter to record on her 1979 Solo Album project - she turned them down, and then they were offered to MJ - while his versions are great and have become classics, one cant help wondering what this super-talented woman with the once-in-a-lifetime voice would have done with them...
This hit the top 10 on billboards disco soul and disco charts in early 1980
"Dazz" by Brick......"Love Rollercoaster" by the Ohio Players...."Jungle Boogie" Kool and the Gang......"Scorpio" by Dennis Coffey...."Brick House" by the Commodores....."Car Wash" by Rose Royce
Love this song. Believe it or not but this and rock with you were written for Karen carpenter and her solo album. She passed on these but chose “my body keeps changing my mind” and “loveliness” for her R n b/disco sound on the album. I can hear a great duet by these 2 on this song.
I don't know what happened in his private life, but as a singer, performer, and entertainer he was extraordinary. His collaborations with Quincy Jones were just brilliant. There were rumours he was going to do a long stint at one of the arenas in UK, if it had happened I would have been there.
Off the Wall is my favorite also. Great call Angela!!!
I know this was chosen from the poll however I put this song into the poll with me picking it as a patreon cuz I got to take an Angela liking a song pick of mine when I can get it LOL Definitely a 5 any day of the week!! Cool reaction..😂❤🎉
I love this song..I don't care what anyone says THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON.. he has a song Almost There I love that song.. if you pay close attention to this song Off The Wall the begging instrument is borrowed by Gospel artist Mary Mary on a son GET UP
One of my favorite songs by MJ 🎶🎶🎶🎶 13 at the time ran out bought the album, great album 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I still prefer the Off the Wall album to Thriller. The earlier one really signaled Jackson's arrival as an adult artist and it seemed mind-blowingly good at the time. The two albums are actually similar in content though Off the Wall has more of that '70s dance vibe. Thriller had a similar song structure (including another McCartney duet) and just amped them all' up to the max. By the way, English keyboard player Rod Temperton of the group Heatwave ("Boogie Nights,'" "Always and Forever") wrote this track as well as several of Michael's biggest hits on both this album and Thriller.
Co-sign 100%. _Off The Wall_ > _Thriller_ Boogie Meter: 3. I like singing along with it more than dancing to it. ✌🏽
This is about a 4 but personal bias is creeping into Dayone's ratings in giving songs she knows and familiar with a higher rating like this one. I've heard hundreds of dance songs and feel like my ratings are more accurate than hers.
Worked for Columbia Records when this was manufactured after college. Great album , was the first of 3 albums Quincy Jones produced for Michael. Brothers Johnson were the studio musicians.
I agree. This album was MJ at his best.
We’re the party people night and day.
I saw the 70s, 80s shoulder roll !!! You should have been young in the clubs in the 70s !! You would have killed it !!
Mj had a afro on the front of the. Cover of the album
Oh yeah! When he sings the lyrics 9 to 5, it reminds of the songs by Sheena Easton (Morning Train aka 9 to 5) and Dolly Parton 9 to 5, which both came out at around the same time as MJ's Off The Wall! Later!
Rest in peace mj
Ang, your dancing is off the wall tonight. Terrific!
Love it! Roller rink music back in the day. Great song.
omg you just gave me great flashbacks, going to the roller rink in high school in the 70's & 80's. I haven't thought about that in 4 decades
@@maha77 Should be more roller rinks today. Good exercise and so much fun skating to the music with other people.
the day was 1979
Thriller is an over-produced Halloween Album. I love The Off the Wall Album is Legit Awesome!
Great cast of prominent musicians on this album . If you check out the credits the list is pretty impressive.
So nice to see you enjoy this so much
Rod Temperton masterpiece! The resemblance to Thriller is because Temperton wrote both.
Off the wall is one of the all time.best albums ever done...
And the Jackson and bee gees were good friends
Thriller was one of the worlds most popular albums of all time, but OFF The Wall was his most critically acclaimed.
I like this song! It's pretty groovy and has a hint of darkness in the background! Boogie meter 5! I believe it was produced by Quincy Jones! See ya!
I always liked the "Off the Wall" album better than "Thriller," too. I think the main reason "Thriller" got so huge is because it was soooo hyped. The album was released in '82/'83, a couple of songs were played on the radio, they were good songs but nothing out of the ordinary, and then several months after the release, Jackson started being hyped as "the king of pop" and suddenly people started noticing the album more in order to conform to all the advertising. "Off the Wall" was much better, in my opinion.
Importantly it was the rise of MTV and music videos that propelled Thriller.
Your moves are priceless
Off the Wall was my favorite album of his too! Loved all of the songs!
Quincy Jones has a larger influence over these songs and that quality stands out. There is only one song on this album i didn't like and even that song has grown on me over the years.
So good ! Congratulations ! ( Belgium, Europe ) . * I prefer the LP "Off the Wall" than the LP "History" , but I'am a fan of M.J. and the Jackson 5 . 😊🖐
Yep, even better than his "Thriller" release.
rod temperton wrote this song as well as thriller great song angela great moving on a chair as well mike from england
'old' young MJ , Joy to music was in him that days
I feel off the wall was a better album. Thriller seemed more theatrical. I saw Micheal in concert in 1978, it was awesome! Also met him at a huge antique and collector's show in the mid two thousands! What a thrill!
Great jam! It’s a 5 for me.
It wasn't until adulthood when I was thoroughly discussing music with friends that I heard so many preferring Off the Wall over Thriller, and at a point I sat myself down and listened through properly. I definitely get it. I'm also a disco girlie, so my partiality was in the works lol
Mj is my favorite singer
Mj off the wall is my song
Off the wall is a better album. Thriller was more popular
U NAILED IT 70s ALL THE WAY
Love this album hands down!
Mj off the wall is a 10
Classic
I agree..definitely a better album than Thriller..oh how l remember dancing to this soooo many times..as soon as it started we all went whoosh straight to the floor..singing and dancing every song on here is a banger..Rock with you..Don't stop till you get enough..absolutely magic..the amazing Quincy Jones brought out the best in MJ..and this was before he started getting weird ..definitely a boogie meter 5+
I was 18 in 1979 GREAT DECADE
Get down Girl. I remember buying this album with my own money. I was only 12 yrs. old. Unfold the album jacket and it was the full MJ. Great music on this album. RIP. Oh, personal note I was stupid and got rid of the album in my later years and he went and passed away. Should of kept it. lol
killer bass and not a bad song on this album. Produced by Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton, two music/Motown greats
Hi Angela!! This is a five all day!!Great,Great, song!!! YUP , the camera went out of focus twice!! See you were right about gauging a song in how many times it knocks out the focus of the camera with YOUR dancing! Loved YOUR reaction!!! Thanks Angela!! Bye🦋
I dare ya not to get up and dance your ass off when this comes on...I DARE YA!
A bad ass and icon just so you know after came disco came this record then came prince hall and Oates then rap and the rest of the eighties all kinds of jundras my opinion.
as much as i liked the Thriller album i liked off the wall Album even better!
now do Rock with you
Angela, I agree with you. While I think both Off The Wall and Thriller are great albums, I've always been partial to Off The Wall. It was Michael Jackson's disco album and has always been my favorite album of his and I think it's his best.
I can't remember but I know one of the members the Jackson and bees are a godson to one of members.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
5 rating yay 😁
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 😃 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃😃😃😃
was a GOOD album
FIVE!!!! ❤
Its a shame about all the stigma around MJ and his alleged sexual misconducts , his songs dont get played nearly enough on the air . He was the consumate professional when it came to music and the production of his albums was second to none . His music videos in the eighties were amazing and thriller was definitely up there at the top . R.I.P. MJ
Off The Wall was a big deal in Jr high dances and MTV days, Club Days, nice moves by u yeah shake it, good review yay 💃🕺👌😎👍
It was, I think, far superior to Thriller sonically…Seems MJ’s best works: Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad were his best music-production by Quincy Jones, which included Rod Temperton, was masterful
Ironically, he was not happy personally during the popularity of the Off the Wall album (highlighted in his Broadway show “MJ”). So sad because I agree, much better than “Thriller”
HUGELY OVER RATTED ANY thing 70s is better than 80s period
Hi Angela!! I have a Question for you. How do I have a Highlighted comment with the thumbs up icon not checked off with a number, identifying it as a "SOMEONE LiKES YOUR COMMENT" That comes from you. You can simply reply below my comment at where it says "REPLY".Thanks Angela!! Bye PS: It's about this song "Off The Wall"! Thanks.
I've always liked Off The Wall better my self.
Off the wall is better..
It's more diversified ❤🎉😂
Look it up
❤
"Off The Wall" is a great album & the title track is good, but, imo, not the best track on the album. 3 tracks on that album stand out to me as better: "Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough", "Rock With You", & "Working Day & Night". Also, as much as i love the "Off The Wall" album, "Thriller" is better imo. As much as people attempt to dismiss or downplay MJ's later work, it was some of his best actually. I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but "Dangerous" is Michael's best overall album.
how about the queen of funk BETTY DAVIS!
OFF THE WALL IS 70DZ Thats why its better
