Bad [EXTRA TRACKS] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REISSUED] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [SPECIAL EDITION]
Amazon.com essential recording

I love Bad
I remember buying this album in 1987 when I was sixteen. I love this album. My favorite track is “I Can’t Stop Loving You”. This is a beautiful duet with Siedah Garrett.

Still great.
After Michael Jackson night on Idol, I picked this up. I had forgotten how many great songs are on this album. Dirty Diana and Smooth Criminal are personal favorites.
