1001 Albums Summary

There is a reason this is the biggest selling LP in recorded music history. he production is flawless and Jackson ensured there is something for everyone on the record. His vision of an LP where every song could be a single was realized, and the success of the record helped record companies realize an album cycle could be extended when so many singles could be successful.

This album rates this highly for me simply on the strength of Chris Squire's bass on "Roundabout."

Solid birth of ska music for me.

An astounding cohesive pop music statement from an artist who grew by leaps and bounds. Also, "Father Figure" is absolutely baby making music.
