"Man in the Mirror"

On the one hand, I'm ashamed to include this Bad song on a list meant to celebrate the best in a musical career, but on the other I can't help but give it its due. After all, when you get a message song from Michael Jackson, you can't be too surprised when it's burdened by a broad but shallow sense of right and wrong and good and evil. He's just never really been all that complicated. Still, there's something compelling just the same about this let's-just-stop-fighting-and-fix-the-world-together kind of idealism.
