The four hundred and fiftieth album: #450 Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
Off the Wall is a good disco album, with some good funk songs and some great ballads in there, with Michael Jackson's voice as impeccable as you'd expect. All that's missing, compared to what I expect I'll hear in Jackson's later albums on the list, is the production and breadth of sounds - at this point, it still sticks to the disco sound he became famous with, but the real progress that I believe created his legacy is still on the way - lurking, but I know it's going to step up. As an album, it really works best to show off his early work.
