Remembering Jacko Pt. 2

I know most people are probably sick of hearing Michael Jackson songs playing nonstop for the past week, so I figured I'd save you all that trouble and look at other people playing Jackson's classics. I have really been going back to all his early and I am constantly in awe of his talent; "I Want You Back" has some of the most amazing vocal runs in pop history, and Off The Wall is still one of my favorite albums (aside from the obligatory corny ballad where he cries); just try putting that album on and not dance your ass off. But back to the covers: noted music blogger Oliver Wang put together a nice little list of some of the best covers of his music for NPR. I especially dig the tasteful bossa-flavored cover of "Billie Jean" and ill rocksteady "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough." No "The Girl Is Mine" though, because only Macca and Jacko can do that right. Check it here. Speaking of Paul, I hope he gets his music back.
