RIP: MICHAEL JACKSON

Michael Jackson died today of an apparent heart attack.
He was 50.

The King is dead.
Long live the King.... of Pop!

TOP 10 MICHAEL JACKSON*:
*controversies aside

10) "SCREAM"; for a split second, it looked like MJ was re-inventing himself into a semi-semi-cool looking goth/vamp dude.... but alas, nope!

9) THE WIZ; you know it.

8) ELEPHANT MAN'S BONES; did he own them? did he not? either way, that's awesome.

7) CAPTAIN EO; all-star cast, director and FX in a horrible sci-fi disney ride!

6) MIGHTY MORPHIN' MICHAEL; brought digital morphing to the Masses in his "Black & White" music video... plus he beats up a parked car for like 5 silent minutes, before morphing into a panther and running away.

5) NEVERLAND RANCH; dude had a rollar coaster in his backyard! You telling me if you weren't buttass rich you wouldn't do the same? Kudos.

4) BUBBLES; pet chimp named "Bubbles"? #4 ladies & gentlemen.

3) MOONWALKER; "Smooth Criminal", plus the arcade game was fantastical -you transformed into robo-MJ and kicked ass!

2) THE JACKSON 5; I don't care what anyone says, that was some damn fine entertainment - audio and live-performances.

1) THRILLER MANIA; album, video(s), moonwalking, the jacket, the glove, the glitter military costumes, the global insanity!

**these were off the top of my head
