NewbieJr 540 Posted May 24, 2011 Like Reagan getting shot and 9/11, I still remember where I was when I heard that George Michael was going solo and Wham was breaking up. A sad, sad day. Which of their classics is youir personal favorite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,556 Posted May 24, 2011 Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go is just so upbeat that I went with that. Careless Whispers would be #2, it's super popular in China BTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikki2200 4 Posted May 24, 2011 Tough call between careless whisper and freedom. Although I don't think freedom is technically wham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 540 Posted May 24, 2011 Tough call between careless whisper and freedom. Although I don't think freedom is technically wham. You're thinking of Freedom '90, which was solo George Michael. The group had a hit with "Freedom" off the Make It Big album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted May 24, 2011 I used to catch crap for liking Wham and Culture Club back in the 80's - and I totally understood why. What I didn't understand was why it was I was getting the business from guys who like Twisted Sister and stuff like that. Hell, Robert Smith wore make up too and everybody loved the Cure back then. Careless Whisper was a pretty damn good song. Chicks loved it in HS and it was a staple at damn near any school dance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JT 137 Posted May 24, 2011 None, but I've always felt George Michael has been unfairly left out of the equation when the top entertainers/singers of his era are discussed. Ironic that his lifestyle choices...which involved consenting acts between two adults...pretty much crushed his career, while Michael Jackson got years of mileage before his predilection for little boys hurt his sales or legacy. "Faith" is simply a great pop song, and his version of "Don't Let the Sun..." is about as good as you can sing a song. Others like "Freedom" and the ballads (titles escape me) were the best stuff on CHR radio at the time. OK, now I feel a little dirty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yer mom 2 Posted May 24, 2011 "Don't Let the Sun..." Id lay odds that on more than one occasion, the word "Dont" was replaced with the word "Please". And "the" was replaced with "your" and Sun was spelled with an "o" in his head while belting out this tune. I agree, Georgie is a great talent. Unfortunately, once you declare your love for the corksoaking, you should be out of the running of anything that resembles top billing. (exception Elton John) I make a point to get along with all, the gheys are just about the most irritating people on the planet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
