Like most other persons my age (42), I too have bought and listened to Michael Jackson, cassettes were for me back in the 80's and early 90's. I have Thriller, a Jackson Five Live, Black & White and some other old cassette.
The saddest aspect of today's news for me was I wasn't surprised!
I can't get the video to load, but for many reasons this is the song that I will always remember: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSqo17o2a1w
Why...., I'm not sure, but an amazing voice for such a young man (maybe 13), of course I don't mind his other stuff too, but Ben was for me.

In no particular order and to be honest there are songs that I probably forgot, but all of these songs are in my collection and I have listened to this year and many years before!
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit - for me this was always going to make my top 10 and I WILL be very surprised if this one is not in the Top 10 of all time, its a classic!
Silverchair - Tomorrow -The Chair, my favorite Australian band, and this started it for me!
Michael Jackson - Ben - see above
Radiohead - Creep - Classic for me and I reckon this is a definite Top 15
Prince - Purple Rain - I could not tell you how many times I listened to this song and the entire record, the LP is a big favorite
Regurgitator - Polyester Girl - my second favorite Australian band
Eminem - The Real Slim Shady - This is one I heard so many times with my oldest song that I ended up loving it too and to be honest I have five of Marshall's CDs
Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun - Classic!!!
Midnight Oil - Us Forces - This and song always got me thinking
Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK - my mum would hate that I still like this song and band, she HATED everything about the Pistols
