This was the first album, cassette or CD that I ever owned. Although Michael Jackson may have had his share of problems in the past 10 years, he will be the face of many of my childhood memories. I will never forget how much I feared the Thriller groove on this LP! IT gave me chills and my brother, who shared the room with me, took advantage of that fact often! His sounds and moves are undeniably and inextricably linked to my generation's experience.
May the King of Pop rest in peace.
