Timeless classic July 26, 2009
Faizan Javed (Birmingham, AL USA)
One of MJs greatest ever songs. A timeless classic which amazingly doesn't sound dated at all despite being released over 25 years ago. Eddie Van Halen's sizzling guitar riffs and solo permeates throughout the Quincy Jones produced track with MJs vocals hovering over this irresistible mix. A first time fusion of pop and rock...groundbreaking.
Archetypal '80s Song July 1, 2009
Amaranth (Northern California)
"Beat it" is the quintessential '80s pop song. If you remember that idyllic time, this song, with its Eddie Van Halen riff, comes immediately to mind. It's a glorious mix of Motown, Van Halen, and '80s synth-pop. It evokes a more innocent time. It's the sort of song that accompanies Rainbow Brite, He-Man, and everything that was cool in the '80s. The late Michael Jackson belts out the rough soul-meets-rock. The music video is equally great, blending West Side Story with '80s hipness. It's an anti-violence ballad that happens to be just plain,classic. All you have to do is hear the opening chords,and you're transported to the '80s...
