Seems Beat It was a bigger song from that album though, but if memory serves it was the first single from it.
Billie Jean was the first single, then Beat It, then Thriller.
The Thriller video was insanely popular. But the song didn't get nearly as much radio play as Billie Jean and Beat It did.
Human Nature should have been a bigger hit.

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Yeah.. I think this is easily it for me..
My and friends loved Bleach and thought Nirvana was great, like a lot of other bands we listened to... Never in a million years did I think that band (song) would be the one to turn mainstream music on its head....

Maybe you mean mainstream music hadn't heard anything like it and I don't even think that's true. But the 80s alternative scene was producing bands like nirvana and nirvana acknowledges some of those bands as influences. Nirvana was in the right place at the right time.
I guess The Byrds and Graham Parsons "Hickory Wind" which was the inception of the Americana genre.

Some interesting and good suggestions here. I'm taking this topic to mean not so much personal impact but broader in the music industry and scene overall.
One I have seen mentioned in various places is Run DMC's version of "Walk This Way". I'm no rap fan overall but it really did break down barriers and helped make rap more acceptable to a lot of folks.

Probably not for the reasons that your post intended, but I am going with Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train. It plays in between most plays of too many professional sports.

I forgot about that craptastic duet. It seems like it came out before Thriller was even in stores.

LOL, You are correct. The album came out 11/30/82

Not a song. An album. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. That changed the way everyone approached rock music. It marked a revolution in rock the way Citizen Kane marked a revolution in cinema.

Chuck Berry - Roll Over Beethoven or something like Sweet Little Sixteen or Reelin And Rocking
One of these helped to put black faces and white face's in the same place at the same time, in the same room, with other performers of various racial makeups, and being listened to by an integrated audience. No longer did R&B, country and Jazz have to 'borrow' from each other. And it became easier to more fully meld influences all across the board.
Probably happened much earlier.. but was limited to just my limited lifetime.

It is "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and nothing else comes close. That one song basically turned popular music on its head, with underground music becoming mainstream and the older mainstream style becoming passé overnight.
