Michael Jackson - Off the Wall (Top 500 Countdown Update)

"Off the Wall," "Rock With You," and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" are three of the best funk/disco pop songs ever made. These alone make this a good album, but the rest of the album doesn't quite hold up. Side two of the album is slower and these songs, especially the ballads just don't stand up to the level of the three earlier mentioned songs. Jackson is a good singer and sounds good on songs like "She's Out Of My Life," but he's not a crooner and is not able to carry the emotional weight on these songs.
