I am kind of the same way. I owned Michael's "big 3" (bought them for a buck a piece at a used LP store) and liked them but there was always sort of a taboo around the guy. If you ever tried to play his music at a party people would mock you because of the constant bizarre scandals he was always in...my generation was not around for Thriller so we always found it easier to talk about MJ the person as opposed to the musician. When he died it suddenly became okay again to play his music and lo and behold you would hear just about every MJ hit every time you stepped into a bar or club. Which I didn't mind. I always found some of his bigger hits like "Billie Jean", "Beat It", and "Bad" to be kind of overrated. To me songs like "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough", "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and "Shake Your Body Down to the Ground" were pure perfection. I mean I always knew that "I Want You Back" was a perfect pop song but I was kind of amazed to find out how many great parts there were in "Don't Stop..". Like, everything about the song is amazing.
