Bad. It has some of my favourite MJ songs - The Way You Make Me Feel, Dirty Diana, They Don't Care About Us, Smooth Criminal, Man In The Mirror. Come to think of it, Dangerous has some more favourites on it too (Heal The World, Black or White, Give In To Me, Will You Be There) but Bad gets the nod, as it was the first MJ album I got, so it's special for me.

after Off The Wall, Bad is his second best album for me!

It is close to perfect! I just really feel it is an ultimate MJ experience all round tbh that blur of Rock and Dance and Pop all round, plus as well as some feel good anthems it also has some odes to his personal life at that point too. Leave Me Alone is my fave song of his also

I do like songs on Dangerous but i do find it a tad overlong in places really, and I dont often come back to it for repeat listening either really.

Dangerous. He was at his peak performance wise and i like the new jack swing/rnb influences he incorporated into his music.

It's a tough one because I just love MJ. As a full album i'd go for Bad. Each track is just brilliant and I could (and have) just listen to it on repeat all day long. Can't wait for Bad 25!

Dangerous is let down by a couple of weak tracks which ruin the flow. She Drives Me Wild, Why You Wanna Trip on Me and Can't Let Her Get Away don't do much for me. I do believe Jam and Who Is It are two of his very best though. Shame they don't get much airplay these days Hopefully we'll get a Dangeous 25 in 2016 though.

I quite like Why U Wanna Trip On me?, Dangerous is quintessentially 90's though, even the art work.

Personally I like Dangerous, but Bad is also outstanding, especially the duet with Stevie Wonder.

I love Bad for the amazing eclectic singles, but I actually have to pick Dangerous for the overall package. The videos were becoming more and more spectacular and clever, and the album took me on more of a journey. I love the whole new jack swing vibe of the first 6 tracks, particularly In The Closet, which was one of my personal favourites. Then it takes a whole new level with the second half. Who Is It has an arrangement to die for. I can't help but feel depressed every time I hear Give In To Me, because it came out as a single in 1993 and that's the year that it all started to go wrong for Michael.

Dangerous is a real work of art, grittier and edgier than the colourful kaleidoscope that is Bad, but more fulfilling as an album than Bad imo.

Hmm... Tough one!

Bad:
Liberian girl
Another part of me
I just can't stop loving you
Dirty Diana
Smooth criminal

Dangerous:
Heal the world
Give into me
Will you be there
Black or white
Who is it

My top 5 from both albums, in no particular order. I think "Bad" edges it...

Definitely Dangerous. I love nearly every track on there and he was at the peak of his powers then IMO

Bad is better than Dangerous. Man in the mirror, Dirty Diana, Liberian girl, smooth criminal and speed demon are very good pop tracks. Dangerous is let down by three weak tracks, she drives me wild, can't let her get away and heal the world. Though Who is it is one of the best pop songs ever. I wish it was a bigger hit. MJ is an amazing vocalist, he is probably the only artist that can sing any genre of music. Off the wall, Beat It, and Man in the mirror are three completely different songs and he sings them exceptionally well.

It's a tough one. Dangerous has more 'filler' (and probably my least favourite MJ song - Can't Let Her Get Away) but it also has better songs. The highs are higher (Jam, Will You Be There, In The Closet) but the lows are lower (Heal The World, Gone Too Soon, Keep The Faith).
