About
<b>100 Best Albums</b> There are few pop album, or even works of art, that denote a wholesale shift in time and space the way Michael Jackson’s <i>Thriller</i> did in 1982. Noting its impact on the career trajectory of a child star turned R&B hitmaker feels reductive; talking about its record-smashing commercial success diminishes its creative leap. It did nothing less than define the modern pop blockbuster and redefine the scope and reach of music. Stripping the weight of history from <i>Thriller</i> is a big job, but hearing the record as a statement in itself remains hugely rewarding. Seven of its nine original cuts were Top 10 single, and it became one of the best-selling albums ever made, but more important is the way Jackson and producer Quincy Jones turned the singer’s obsessions into intricate, stunningly sung pop-funk. .
