Somehow Dirty Diana is a Michael Jackson song I've never heard. I listened to it. I will say this. Some Jacko songs would beat Round And Round, but Dirty Diana is absolutely not one of them.

Dirty Diana easily, Steve Stevens on guitar and nostalgia win out. This song reminds me of our baseball team crushing it during that summer winning our little league championship.

Dirty Diana is easily MJ's best rock'n roll inspired song. It gets my vote rather comfortably.

I considered myself a Michael Jackson fan when being such a thing was highly uncool. Yet like Emperor I was unfamiliar with Dirty Diana. Maybe I always skipped that one? Many MJ songs would beat Round and Round, but I have no attachment to Dirty Diana, and it did not wow me, so Ratt it is.

I don't see what everybody else is seeing in Dirty Diana. Maybe it's a nostalgia thing.

I don't see what everybody else is seeing in Dirty Diana. Maybe it's a nostalgia thing. I only just learned of DD because of UT during the research phase, so nostalgia had no part in it for me. The song is just that catchy. Dirty Diana in a landslide. This. Don't think I'd heard Round and Round before (was expecting to recognize it but didn't) and it just kept getting worse and worse as I was listening to it.

Round and Round isn't great but it has its moments and it's better than Dirty Diana. Plus it gets some nostalgia points because I played that song on Rock Band a lot.

An interesting side story to follow throughout this tournament will be whether movies/television or video games earn more nostalgia bonus points for songs. Right now it feels kinda neck and neck, but I sense video games will pull ahead. Shit, GTA seems to single-handedly be pulling a lot of songs up.

Yeah I didn't discover DD until probably my mid twenties when I really fell in love with Michael Jackson's music , I knew the hits to that point but I discovered a bunch more songs I enjoy ever more. DD is towards the top of that list. 🤯 - Man in the Mirror - it's not rock but also one of my favorite MJ cuts. PYT too. I don't know how deep your MJ music listening goes.

I have a feeling though that since you like Dirty Diana , P.Y.T would also be up your alley.

Funny how an MJ number 1 has turned into a deep cut.

Funny how an MJ number 1 has turned into a deep cut. Right but for anyone not around or old enough back then , it makes sense. I grew up only knowing MJ from his biggest of hits (Beat It , Thriller , Billie Jean) and then I found out just an amazing songography.

I grew up only knowing MJ from his biggest of hits (Beat It , Thriller , Billie Jean) and then I found out just an amazing songography. Ditto. Exactly this. For various reasons, including social pressures or stigmas, I've avoided a lot of good music for a lot longer than I should've for pretty dumb reasons. For example, because of the boy band stigma, it took me way longer to get into Justin Timberlake's singles stuff than it should've.

Do y'all realize that Dirty Diana and the lead female in the "Round and Round" video were both played by the same woman: Lisa Dean

I hope it's not too late to nominate a song.
