Hey all,
So my band and I got invited to play at this Michael Jackson tribute night on Halloween, so im wondering, what are your favorite Michael Jackson songs? we are trying to get 2 hours of music together, so your help will be greatly appreciated, as i have been out of the loop most of my life.
we have learned Thriller, Beat it, Billie Jean, and Smooth Criminal already. if someone could maybe suggest some of the deeper tracks (with fun basslines  ) that would be great!
look forward to the responses!
thanks |

"Lady of My Life" has an infectious bassline that I enjoyed playing back in the day as well as right now.

One day I would really like to learn what the hell:
"mammasaymammasawmamamousa" means.
It sounds important. |

It's a straightforward song, but MJ's vocals on it get me every time. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
