Album Notes
The title might sound like hyperbole, but this two-disc collection is, in fact, a pretty fair summation of Michael Jackson's career up to 2005. Of course, it's impossible for two discs to hold every hit single Michael Jackson has ever had, but THE ESSENTIAL MICHAEL JACKSON starts with the Jackson Five's debut single, "I Want You Back," and ends 38 tracks later with the 2001 comeback attempt "You Rock My World." In between is a chronological overview of some of the most significant pop music in the last three decades of the 20th century, climaxing with about two-thirds of THRILLER and half of OFF THE WALL, the album that in retrospect sounds even fresher and more exciting than its blockbuster follow-up. Disc Two starts in 1987 with eight tracks from the underrated BAD, and its second half does the listener the handy service of compressing the second act of Michael Jackson's life story (a time when the tabloid headlines were overshadowing his increasingly formulaic music) into nine entirely respectable, if not earth-shattering, singles.

I decided to buy the CD because I am a big fan of Michael Jackson. I loved it because it has a wide variety of all his songs and there is nothing to dislike about it. Excellent CD!

  Great Compilation

If you like Michael Jackson, this will have most of your favourites in one excellent compilation - if you aren't familiar with the music the two CD's act as a history of Jackson's hits from his earliest days as a boy singer to some of his later works. If you just want one CD of Michael Jackson, and want the best of his work, this is probably the one for you.
