Jermaine Jackson Pick

Jermaine always feels like the Jackson brother with the most complicated story. He was the one who stayed at Motown when the rest of the family left, largely because of his connection to Berry Gordy through marriage. He was also one of the few Jacksons who regularly played bass in the group's early years. Looking over this pick, I realized it is not really built around solo hits at all. The Jacksons selections all put Jermaine in the spotlight, many of the guest appearances exist because of his voice, and there is even a wonderfully unlikely DEVO connection tucked into the middle of the set. It ends up tracing his path through the family story, from bassist and brother to solo artist and eventually Jackson again. It is another interesting branch of the Jacksons family tree.

Jacksons Pick Repost

Repost: There are tons of choices to make for a Jacksons playlist pick. Most compilations include either the Jacksons or the Jackson 5. This has both. It does not include Michael's hits, nor Jermaine's (and nothing from Rebbie or Janet or Randy or Tito etc.) just all of the boys together. It's not all disco or Motown, but a little of all their stuff. It does contain their biggest hits as both the Jacksons and The Jackson 5. Look for the Jackson Family pick and some individual Jacksons.

Jackson Family Pick Repost

Repost: Well, since I was reposting this, I fixed an error, added a track, so this is the new version of this. The Family Jackson Pick is all the biggest hits (for me) of the Jackson family. So I include the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons, but also a Michael, Janet, Jermaine, La Toya, Rebbie, Randy, Tito, Marlon and Jackie. With so many, I am bound to have forgotten someone, but I hope not. I gave most of the solo spots two tracks, one each for Jacksons and Jackson 5 (since it sort of is the same group) and also for Jackie, Randy and Marlon. One track is from Janet and Michael! Eventually, I will do a Janet pick (maybe a Jermaine), but the rest of these Jacksons, I don't think I could make one with enough that I like. This will have to do.

Jackson Family Pick

01 Tito Jackson with Kenny Neal, Marlon Jackson & Bobby Rush - Love One Another

02 Randy Jackson - How Can I Be Sure

03 Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes

04 Jackson 5 - I Want You Back

06 Jermaine Jackson - Let's Get Serious

07 Rebbie Jackson - Fly Away

08 Jermaine Jackson - Do What You Do

09 Jackie Jackson - Stay

10 Jacksons - Blame It On The Boogie

11 Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

12 Rebbie Jackson - Centipede

13 Janet Jackson - Together Again

16 Michael Jackson - Beat It

17 Tito Jackson featuring Big Daddy Kane - Get It Baby

18 Marlon Jackson - Don't Go

Michael Jackson 2

The man is still all over the radio and somehow putting out fresh material. It is a bit wild for someone who basically died of milk, but the momentum never really stopped. This set mixes in some of those posthumous releases alongside the older stuff, which feels right with the new movie out now. Hard to believe how there are still "new" Michael Jackson songs going crazy on the charts. I remember watching the cartoon as a kid in The Valley. We were actually pretty close to Neverland, though I never made it past the gates myself. This latest pick sits nicely next to volume 1 to show how the different eras of his career actually mesh together. It makes you wonder how much more is left in the vaults.

Michael Jackson 1 repost

Repost: Originally I wasn't going to post this, but some people had messaged me and asked why the disco (leopard) series hardly had any Michael Jackson in it. The reason is this playlist. Any disco party I played, I would of course play the songs in the disco series that I have already posted, but I also brought along this playlist of my MJ picks. Yes. I also brought along Saturday Night Fever, some extra Bee Gee's etc. I wasn't going to post this, because you can find tons of great Michael Jackson greatest hits albums out there. This is just my pick. Many of you will disagree with some of my choices, but I stand by them. Tell me your favorites in the comments. You've probably already seen the companion Jacksons playlist. And tomorrow I post the second volume (never posted before.)

Eventually, I will do a Janet Pick (maybe a Jermaine), but the rest I don't think I could make one with enough that I like. This will have to do.
