    As The Jam singles go, Beat Surrender doesn't really put the Boom Boom into my heart.

    Never bought any of his records, but you can't deny George Michael was a great songwriter.

    His voice was ok, too :D

    The brilliance of some of the Wham! pop songs is matched by much of the very different but also brilliant George solo work.

    Just thinking, him and Prince both had potentially the best years of their careers strangled by record company legal arguments. Like great athletes shot down by injury, a cruel waste of talent.

    For me, Prince's best output was from the mid to late 80's, Sign 'o' The Times being his best work imo. His early 90's stuff, for me, wasn't as good which was when his record company woes were happening. Whether this affected his writing, I've no idea, he still released stuff at an amazing rate, much to his record company's annoyance.

    Interesting to note how Wham! were hugely influenced by black funk on their first record, Motown on their second.

    Wham! actually played benefit gigs for striking miners in 1984.

    In your face, Weller!

    I think Wake Me Up Before You Go Go is a total pop classic and I turn the radio up each and every time it gets played

    Can't help but feel Mark Radcliffe was never a Wham! fan.
