Dirty Diana is his most underrated song, and all these years later, it does not sound dated.

Back then there was a dubious flirtation with metal guitars in pop songs.

Problem is, they didn't know how to use them.

In both this song, and Janet Jackson's "Black Cat," the metal guitar just matches the song vocals note for note. It's dumb. Makes me wonder if they had the same producer.

Being they're both Jacksons, probably.

Also, I like it. I wouldn't advocate it for all songs, and don't know Black Cat, but the style of Dirty Diana, it works for me.
