Pete !
This was a REALLY though one...
Love every single one of them - all very special in their own right...
"Don't Stop..." is such a classic and "Thriller" - what a classic and the video was really something new back in the day...
But I think I'll go with "Billie Jean" of nostalgic reasons...  Plus all the impact it had ending up in "reply's" to Michael and being part of medley's and such. And what a bass line... Mmmm !!!

BILLIE JEAN is my pick too. It has been sampled so much, and given so many such memories. Well, all those songs have. But I will stick with BJ! A good BJ is always appreciated!

DON'T STOP TILL YOU GET ENOUGH would be my pick. It , instead of the others, solely because, It came first. It put Michael on top. He was the KING OF POP after this song.

Thriller is my choice, it lasted longer, had the video of the 80's, and makes a revival every October. Billie Jean was spectacular as was DON'T STOP, but the possibilities of the end of Thriller, as Vincent Price laughed was exceptional. And led to any place the deejay wanted yo go.

Here we go again. From the early Disco era. This might be hard. Pick One!
1) KEEP ON TRUCKIN'- Eddie Kendricks
2) HOLLYWOOD SWINGN'-Kool And The Gang
3) DISCO PARTY - The Trammps
This could be torture to some of you! It was for me.
My Pick!- HOLLYWOOD SWINGN' by Kool & The Gang.
Great Memories is the only way I could make a pick. Which gave me better memories. It was Kool & The Gang.

Some people here may not have been born then!!-- My favorite of these greats, has to be, The Trammps and Disco Party. Early disco days is my reasoning!

This is very hard. HOLLYWOOD SWINGN' by Kool and the Gang & KEEP ON TRUCKIN' by Eddie Kendricks are head and shoulders above That particular Trammps song. Then I have the problem. These two Classics are equally superb in every way. I have to choose one, I will pick HOLLYWOOD SWINGN'. Wasn't easy.

This is very hard, but I love it when its hard. :wink: My pick is Jersey City's own Kool & The Gang. Hollywood Swinging, that drove the PATOS crazy. Remember everyone chanting along,"Swing it HOLLYWOOD Swing it, HOLLYWOOD, Swing it". One of the very best songs every.

Yeah this is a tough one Pete. 
I know your doin' it right when it hurts. 
For me it's really hard between Kool & The Gang & Eddie Kendricks.
I love Kool but Mr. K was supakool!
That 11 minute Tom Moulton mix is such a smoker I gots to go with that. 
Keep on truckin' y'all.................

This is very hard. Eddie Kendricks rocked, so did those fabulous Trammps. But my pick is also HOLLYWOOD SWINGIN by Kool and the gang. I remember HS Basketball games, and the crowd would start shouting out the chorus as opposing players went to the line for free throws. Every house party was HOLLYWOOD SWINGING.

Peter said;
Here we go again. This will be a test, as they all are. A Michael Jackson Pick One! This will be hard! PICK ONE!
1) THRILLER
2) BILLY JEAN
3) DON'T STOP TIL YOU GET ENOUGH
Tough choice indeed Pete. For me it would have to be DONT STOP TILL YOU GET ENOUGH for the simple reason that this tune is more related to disco to me than the other two classic tunes

For me EDDIE KENDRICKS wins it hands down , not even a contest! A classic tune from one of the best vocal talents of all time...
