Thriller Zombies to Drool On Library of Congress

Posted May 14th 2008 8:35AM by TMZ Staff

Thriller added to Library of Congress The Library of Congress has chosen Michael Jackson's ghoul-orious "Thriller" album to add to its National Recording Registry, deeming it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." After all, no mere mortal can resist...

Michael's train wreck of a face might also be considered "aesthetically significant." We're just sayin'.

Jackson's 1982 best selling album of all time was the most contemporary of the 25 recordings picked with nothing being added from the 21st century. What, is Flo Rida not culturally significant?

The funk of 40,000 years indeed.

4. I recieved the "Thriller" album for my 12th Birthday back in 1984. It was really good for the time, and I really enjoyed listening to it. It was great. And that's when Michael still looked like a human...lol

5. Translation: It's OK to be accused of molesting kids, almost throwing them off a balcony and covering them up in hoods that liekly will cause them emotional damage.

Thanks Bush!

7. Ha! Done nothing since? Well since Thriller Michael Jackson co-wrote the hit charity single We Are The World which went #1 sold 20 million+ copies around the world, Released Bad which contained 5 US Billboard #1 hits and sold 30 million copies around the world. He released Dangerous which also sold 30 million copies and had 7 global #1 hits. He released History which had a #1 US hit which sold 36 million discs around the world. He contributed 300 million dollars to charity, bought the rights to the Beatles catalogue which he still owns plus all artists part of Sony/ATV (vist www.sonyatv.com to see all the songs MJ owns)...hmmm what else is there to say. Not that bad for doing "nothing"

8. PLUS he released the Thriller 25th anniversary album this year which had remixes and unreleased songs, and it has just been confirmed that he is working on a NEW album.

Not to mention all of his performances since Thriller.

Suggestion: For those who have a negative view, or even a positive one, on Michael, you should read "michael jackson conspiracy" by aphrodite jones! great book. =]

9. Michael you will always be the King of rock....and for someone that is supposed to be broke he sure can find money when it's needed. Give him some support, he's innocent by the court of law..
