Name a better pop song than "Billie Jean"

[BrianH1]

I honestly don't think you can.

 

[Q]

Bye Bye Bye

 

[Babbles]

"We Are the World" - that song had just about every pop star alive in the '80s putting in their two cents.

Can we count The Beatles? I absolutely love them, although putting them into a genre is tough... especially considering their varying music style over the years. Poppy rocky.

Come Together
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds

not saying thats the best work from the Beatles, as I have no favorite song.. but those songs I listened to recently, and love. And can be argued as poppy.

Awesome thread!

Don't know if this counts (not a music buff), but I crank the radio for Jack & Dianne

Beat It > Billie Jean

I don't know... it's been 25 years since Billie Jean was first release and I've yet to hear a more catchy or recognizable intro, and the song only gets better from there. The bass line was an instant classic.

This is a long debate among MJ fans. I still believe BJ beats Beat it just because Billie Jean has had more staying power and has a bit more substance.

Can't argue w/ that.

Freudian slip on my part. A+ for you.

You're all wrong, Smooth Criminal blows them all out of the water.

Rock Lobster.

in terms of peak pop(ularity), you're going to be hard pressed to find something that beats the macarana.

I disagree. I think MJ's vocals completely carry the song. AAF just uses the guitar to carry it through.

I have to agree as well. I got eaten alive in the last thread asking about which covers people thought were better than the originals.
