Thriller (Michael Jackson album) | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 210

This episode of KnockBack is for all you pretty young things out there. In late-1982, Michael Jackson -- already world-renowned both with his family band The Jackson 5 and via his solo vehicles -- released his most seminal work, the three-times Diamond certified record Thriller. While its title track may be what's most remembered these days, it's interesting to look back to the early-'80s, when Thriller (the song) was released sixth (!) when it comes to singles. From Billie Jean and Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' to Beat It and Human Nature, Thriller provides banger after banger, a fusion of pop sensibilities with a rock-and-roll backbone. Yes: Michael Jackson is today a controversial figure, even reviled in some corners. But we wanted to look at this album through a historically relevant lens, and examine the music for music's sake. We hope you enjoy. A new episode of KnockBack launches each Monday morning.

In regards to ringo, the get back documentary is a must watch you can see him drumming his ass off. He holds his own pretty well, and a lot of the songs have his own drumming twist since he’s a left handed drummer playing a right handed kit, he leads with his left hand so he has to play certain songs in his own unique way to compensate for that. It’s pretty cool how such a thing changes how the kit sounds

That's interesting. I taught myself how to play open-handed, so I would have been comfortable at a left-handed kit. However, when I started taking lessons in middle school, I was quickly shuffled to playing cross-handed on a right-hand kit.

Hey Dooks, With Decima slowly becoming a large proprietary engine for Sony (with Horizon and Death Stranding and potentially more in the future) do we think that Xbox will utilize the IdTech engine for more games in the future? I'd imagine it would save on costs for Unreal licenses, or is IdTech not fleshed out enough to deliver true next gen visuals like what we saw in Hellblade 2. Have a "walking upstairs with friends until you roll your ankle and embarrass yourself by being in pain momentarily" kind of day

Can’t wait for the Bad episode, although Off The Wall deserves one as well.

So excited to have more music topics! Loved the one album/one episode format. Would be great to see more artists and albums covered in this style. Great episode, y’all!

IMO, the Beatles probably wouldn't have been as popular if they changed any of the main 3 out. They might have been able to trade Ringo out, but it might have still suffered. Paul McCartney is the pop side, John Lennon is the avant garde side, and George is the more ethereal side, and the three of them pulling against each other made them better than any one or two of them would have been alone. Ringo? He's there to make sure the songs actually end eventually and don't just meander forever. Thriller was probably the only MJ album that I listened to as a kid, just because there was so little music that managed to reach the rural area I lived. I thought it was pretty solid back then.

A band that still makes albums that matter is King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. A mix between prog rock and art rock. They've tackled so many different concepts at this point, from their microtonal albums, they're bubble gum synth album Butterfly 3000, infinite loop of Nonagon Infinity, and the masterpiece (in my opinion) concept album Murder of the Universe. Definitely a band to check out. One of the best places to start would be Sketches of Brunswick East, an album they made with smooth jazz artist Mild High Club. But if you want something heavy, their climate-oriented thrash metal album Infest the Rats' Nest. Also, to note they take pride in providing colourful runs of all their vinyls. I could talk forever about this band. A beacon of art in rock music in these trying times.

I have filmed hundreds of weddings in my life, and I can assure you that, yes, people still bump Michael.
