When you hear these three words Michael Jackson Thriller what comes to mind? I am sure a lot of things come to mind, after all everyone knows all about Michael Jackson and his song Thriller.

Thriller is a lot like off the wall because it explores some of the same kind of music like R&B and pop. The production of thriller was one of the most exciting albums that Jackson ever put out and as of two thousand and seven it has sold a whopping sixty five million copies, just in that year.

Thriller made Jackson one of the most famous people in the twentieth century and this allowed him to break some barriers of racial people. Some of the reasons he was able to break the racial barrier that people held was because of his meeting with Ronald Regan at the White house. This album and song was one of the first to make famous the Use of Music videos to promote songs.

Thriller is a lot like the album off the wall because it follows genres like funk and disco. To describe thrillers lyrics I would have to say they are like experiencing paranoia and the supernatural.

Thriller was also preserved to the National Library of Congress and they deemed it "Culturally significant". Jackson's other album off the wall was a huge success but not as largely known as Thriller although it did receive favorable reviews just like thriller.

Unlike many artists, Jackson did not write his songs on paper and when he recorded he simply remembered these songs in his mind. Jones also told Jackson that thriller would not make it and be as successful as Off the wall, but Jackson went ahead and put it on the album anyways. It is a good thing he did because if he did not we would not have this wonderful song that so many people love.
