No I love the song but generally don't like Wham, or even much of George Michael's later soul-influenced stuff. It's always impressed me that he wrote those lyrics as a teenager too. |

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. |

One of the most underrated bands ever. Huey Lewis and the News were and still are one of my favourite bands. "Stuck with you" on this one.  |

"In a lifetime...
Clannad and bono
Can't stand bono"
That is such a class song, played it lately on radio and put hairs standing on me. One of the all time great duets. |

"November rain - guns n roses
Not sure I'd even recognise many of their other songs 
Philistine
It’s like a 10/10 song "
It is, I meant that he wouldn't recognise any of their other songs. Especially with Axl's distinctive voice |
