11. Bad - Michael Jackson (1987)

So, my office space co-habitant has decided that today is 80s day. She got on Pandora and started with Madonna, and we went from there, which brings me to "Bad."

I always liked a number of Michael Jackson songs, including this one, but never really understood his full impact on popular culture and pop music until he died. That weekend was nonstop Michael Jackson music videos, songs, movie specials and more - all very impressive, especially crammed into one sitting, one after another.

This song also reminds me of a game we used to play in the DEN newsroom - Escape from Neverland. I feel kind of bad for the man, but it's all in fun.

Shamon.
