What are some Michael Jackson songs on specific albums that you feel could’ve, or even SHOULD’VE been on other albums?

To specify, I don’t mean niche gems that you think should have more traction or songs that didn’t make the cut that you think should’ve made it. I specifically mean songs that were on an album, that you think would fit well on another album. For example, if I thought that Billie Jean from thriller would fit on invincible for whatever reason (just as an example).

Mine would probably be Why You Wanna Trip On Me from Dangerous. I think it’d fit pretty nicely on HIStory.

Come Together would've fit better on Bad as a bonus track. He already had a video for it on Moonwalker. Dangerous could've worked too but he was on a completely different vibe by the time HIStory came out.

[u/Moistman123456 → u/KTGTL]

As in dangerous being on Bad? Or on HIStory?

[u/KTGTL → u/Moistman123456]

I meant Come Together also fitting in well on the Dangerous album, particularly in the back half.

[u/TheUnreadableUser → u/Moistman123456]

As in come together would've worked on dangerous too

[u/Moistman123456 → u/TheUnreadableUser]

Oh alright my bad. I agree.

[u/sixth_hokage06 → u/KTGTL]

This was the first song that came to mind

[u/Eva03 → u/KTGTL]

No, he got the rights for Come Together after he released bad so that would not have worked.

[u/Sasorisnake]

Blood on the Dance Floor, Morphine and Is It Scary should have been on History

[u/ImprovementLow9280]

The Way You Love Me, Hollywood Tonight, A Place With No Name, and Blue Gangsta should've been on Inivincible

[u/Moistman123456 → u/ImprovementLow9280]

I agree

[u/dplex__hd]

Wanna Be Starting Something feels like it'd fit on Off the Wall

[u/Lioness_106]

Replace Come Together with Is It Scary or Ghosts on HIStory.

[u/Uriah_Blacke → u/Lioness_106]

Weirdly enough I feel like “Come Together” wouldn’t have been out of place on Blood on the Dance Floor

[u/HotAir25]

Blood, Superfly, Earth Song on Dangerous.

Maybe They Don’t Care on Dangerous too as partially seemed to have featured in tracks mentioned.  

Morphine on History. 

Wanna Be Startin Something on Off The Wall. 

(All as originally written in those eras). 

[u/Confident_Row_7222]

I think Liberian Girl would go better in Invincible, like the vibe is very similar to Heaven Can Wait

[u/Moistman123456 → u/Confident_Row_7222]

I could ABSOLUTELY see the song on Invincible if some elements of the instrumental were modernized. If it was remixed for invincible, it’d fit like a glove honestly.
You’re right, they’re very similar. Interesting thought, I’d never considered that before.

[u/Montoyabros]

I think the obvious answer is "Baby be mine" instead of thriller, Off the wall album

[u/kiki_2u]

Threatened would’ve been sick on History.

[u/Uriah_Blacke]

I’ve always been curious as to what “Blood on the Dance Floor” would’ve sounded like had it been reworked for Invincible

[u/AlmightySankentoII]

Someone Put Your Hand Out and Monkey Business should have been on the Dangerous album.

And I would have removed Heal the World and released it as a separate single.
