We were watching the Thriller video last week as one of the youngsters I work with had never seen it before!  :o  Now that did make me feel old!

It does look like a good re-package. I may just pick this up too, moreso for the great sleeve and bonus dvd.

Okay, I've been comtemplating it, and I guess I'll get the Thriller package too. I already have three different Thrillers (cassette, cd, and Special Edition cd)

But I like MJ and I think I'd be a bad fan to not get it. Thriller is his crowing acheivement.

And my friends and I are having our own Thriller party.  :)

  I've never owned a MJ album, but I do like most all of the songs on Thriller.  I'd also like to check out the video that I waited all day and all night to watch on MTV...but only sweet JC knows why...

Just the other day PYT came on the radio and I forgot how good it was. I love the bit at 3:16 mins... so funky - what a genius!

My fave track from Thriller is "Wanna Be Startin' Something". I also remember dressing up as a zombie and re-enacting the Thriller video (which I took out of the video store almost every week  :D).

@Davester:

Thanks! We always have a blast.  ;D What video did you wait for?

And my fave track off of "Thriller" is "The Lady in My Life". That song is so sweet and warm. I love it. I think MJ should perform it live sometime.  ;)

You know, what's ironic is that song is one of the only two that WEREN'T singles! The other is "Baby Be Mine". Sometimes I tend to forget about those. As far as the 7 hits, I probably listen to "PYT" the least.


As far as people having not seen the "Thriller" video, I really don't think that's a good barometer for most people. Aside from being a general pop culture phenomenon, it was in constant rotation on MTV and VH1 well into the '90s...even early '00s a little bit, so people had lots of chances to see it.

I know a girl born in 1986 who says she "grew up" with him, and that's what I mean. She probably saw it in the '90s.

  I waited for the world premiere of the Thriller video, which was actually more like a short film.  It was a big deal, to be sure...

  MTV aired it late at night (midnight?), early December '83, and I waited up late to watch it and nothin' was gonna stop me..!

  "Beat It" might be my fave from Thriller.  My girlfriend in the 8th grade used to listen to "PYT" all the time.  And she was... ;)
