"Ben" - Written by Don Black & Walter Scharf
"One Day in Your Life" - Written by Armand/Brown
"Rock With You" - Written by Rod Temperton
"Off The Wall" - Written by Rod Temperton
"She's Out of my Life" - Written by Tom Bahler
"Thriller" - Written by Rod Temperton
"Man in the Mirror" - Written by Glen Ballard & Siedah Garrett
Jackson did come into his own as a songwriter with the albums 'Bad' & 'Dangerous' but a lot of the songs he's famous for ( And the songs people equate his genius to ) weren't even written by him.
My own personal opinion is that as a songwriter - he's overrated - as a performer - he's one of the greatest.

Very few artists can match this resume. There is no need to demean and degrade Michael Jackson just to bring Lennon up.
I love Lennon more than I do MJ but lets not be silly.
