Rolling Stone recently published a list of the "50 Best Michael Jackson Songs" and 46% of them fall within the years 1976-85.  Here are those songs from that list and my thoughts on the ranking.  Full RS list can be found here.  Check the CD Project for my thoughts on Off The Wall, Thriller, and The Jacksons.
