The Friday Canon: George Michael

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Poor George. He wrote some of the best pop tunes of the eighties, and thanks to owning a large stake in Capital FM secured plenty of radioplay in the nineties despite having questionable facial hair. But recently his output has shown that smoking too much weed is bad for you, kids. OR HAS IT? Only you, the poptimists can decide! Now, this isn't a Wham! canon, it's a Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou canon, so tick wisely: you get TEN picks across these UK Top #40 singles!

... I didn't notice the Wham first time round.

Last Christmas is still head shoulders and everything else above all the other songs here though.

oh the video!

the HAIR! in partic.

it's possibly the single most 80s video, just about beating off rio/wild boys and ashes to ashes (which is kind of a 70s video rly)

It's an incredibly idyllic winter scene too, in 200 years time our descendents will think of the Wham "Last Christmas" video as we do Victorian frost fairs.
