The death of “King of Pop” Michael Jackson on Thursday overtook the news and overwhelmed the Internet.

No matter what people thought of him in these later years, his impact in the music world and popular culture is undeniable.

The Associated Press writes that Jackson’s death “brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music’s premier all-around performer. His 1982 album “Thriller” — which included the blockbuster hits “Beat It,” “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” — is the best-selling album of all time worldwide.”

Today, we want to hear about your favorite Michael Jackson songs. Maybe you prefer the music of his childhood? Tell us.
