Gotta Xscape!
I've done over 150 of these wacky music wednesdays and never once mentioned one of my favorite musical artists.. The King of POP Himself- MJ! When I was a young blip on nobody's radar, I saved up allowance to purchase the cassette for Michael Jackson's BAD. At that point, I had never listened to AC/DC, Guns n' Roses, or Metallica.

Michael Jackson - Xscape (Eulonzo Mix) Born somewhere between a neon-drenched 1985 sci-fi acid trip and an accountant’s fever dream during the Captain EO era, "Got To Get Away" was essentially a musical hostage. It snuck its way into the short film before copyright lawyers materialized out of the ether to banish it to the shadow realm. Fast-forward to 1999, because why not drag Brad Buxer and Michael Prince into a time capsule: the track rose from the grave only to get unceremoniously drop-kicked off The Ultimate Collection in 2004 for reaso...
