--- Quote ---It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking
In the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops
Your heart
You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before
You make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between
The eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to
Strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight

comparing an 80s hit to a 2017 hit is an awful idea. it really just shows that you judge song quality based on your own specific and biased criteria rather than influence and popularity, the only objective method of judging music

either way thriller is in my opinion better than peek a boo but i'd be insane to say that i listen to thriller every day
Mega-Bear:
the lyrics to Thriller are not that impressive lol. Most lyrics in popular music are simple rhymes. They are emotive yes, but not exactly remarkable.
PhantOS:
sadly one specific popular song that everyone liked 40 years ago cannot stay popular forever. it can become notable, which peek a boo probably will become at some point, but it wont stay popular.

this is the reason why we don't listen to people banging rocks together on the radio. music popularity evolves, from swing to blues to rock to pop to rap to trap and so forth
NotBomberguy:
tbh to me most rap I hear is just the same verse and beat/rhythm repeated every other time with maybe a different one or two in between
but I mainly listen to radio for rap so
