Bad might not be Michael's greatest album, but it has some great tunes on it, including the credible version of Smooth Criminal.
Smooth Criminal has always been an average tune with a mind-blowing film clip to back it up. I love Bad, espicially the recently remastered version that has 'Streetwalker' on it, which rocks six kinds of stuff that rocks.
I find Bad & Thriller to be two vastly different albums. While Thriller was more creative and revolutionary, Bad just took the style at the time and made it look really, really good.
To each his own, but I love both albums.
