Wow! We have a lot of the same favoirtes! I forgot the most important one! Radiohead! Hello! I just jotted some down without thinking. Radiohead is my biggest obsession next to Smiths/Cure. I also like Coldplay and The Pet Shop Boys and Built to Spill but couldn't fit them on my list.

I was lucky enough to see and meet Elliot Smith a few years ago... Visit my webpage and follow the "my links" page to view it...

15) bis (their first album is really fun -- and their new stuff aint too shabby either)

hey, i like robbie, george, and janet too. i dislike country music, but won't be mean about it. :P

robbie is hilarious and cutely cheeky. i like his singing voice and his songs are good pure pop music.

george michael has also made some classic, classic pop songs. and his freedom video was one of the most perfect music videos ever made.

i have to say that janet jackson's "the velvet rope" was a really great album. the singles were spectacularly catchy.

> robbie is hilarious and cutely cheeky. i like his singing voice and his

I agree. You can't take him too seriously, but he is very entertaining.

> george michael has also made some classic, classic pop songs. and his

George and Morrissey are my two favorite voices.

> i have to say that janet jackson's "the velvet rope" was a
> really great album. the singles were spectacularly catchy.

Again I agree. I like just about every song on the album. She is a great performer.

Yeah, I am not a huge country guy, but I like Chris. It is my only vice.

Subject to change on an hourly basis:

Misfits/Danzig
Clash
Foetus

Damn, I'm at 15 already- so there you go.

I love George Michael/Wham, if it was top 20, he'd be there.

Yeah, his geatest hits is in my cd player all the time (when Morrissey/Smiths isn't of course).

Oh, besides Moz? I get one more pick, then. Sorry, Moz, gotta go with the Cure.

Hope Sandoval

> Yeah, his geatest hits is in my cd player all the time (when

Freedom (G. Michael from Listen w/o prejudice, not wham) is one of my favoirte dance songs. I fucking love that song. It's one of those songs that you put on by yourself in your room and dance to on repeat in your underwear late at night. I just put freedom on and I'm listening to it full blast!

I have: wham-make it big, George Michael-faith, Listen w/o prejudice and greatest hits. It's not something I play all the time but sometimes I need a george Michael fix that lasts for a few days.

Personal favoirtes - One more try, monkey, faith, freedom, credit card baby, careless whisper, everything she wants, and of course -I want your sex!!!!

1) sparks
2) kirsty maccoll
3) the divine comedy
4) pulp
5) the cure
6) ludus
7) radiohead
david bowie
9) the beatles
10) billy bragg
11) patti smith
12) nico
13) the clash
14) pixies
15) blondie

after sparks and kirsty maccoll, that was ridiculously difficult.

> Yeah, his geatest hits is in my cd player all the time (when

I almost forgot Father Figure! Now you got me on a george michael kick, I'm listening to my third album by him since I read your post! I've been dancing my ass off too and having a great time of it! (hey it's friday night!)

Call me cheesy, call me kitchy, call me any name you want, I don't care! I won't be embarrassed of George Michael! He has one of the best voices ever. His vocal range in Kissing a Fool is better than Sinatra. Someday people will respect him. Until then, I do......

I'm also a big fan of the psychadelic furs (and LOVE SPIT LOVE!) and The Velvet Underground.

New Order
Joy Division
Echo And The Bunnymen
The Jam
Buzzcocks
The Go-Betweens
The Clash
Velvet Underground

Damnit! I forgot to add The Buzzcocks to my list. OK. I'll switch Skinny Puppy for The Buzzcocks.

I like Jesus To A Child, A Different Corner, You Have Been Loved... Obviously there are others. I don't think there is a song of his that I don't like. Well, some of his earlier stuff. But yeah, his voice is great! I will always be a fan.

I love Georgio! He's voice give me the chills! He's a great composer and is very underestimated, I think...
He's very clever too.

So true!!!!!

> So true!!!!!

I think George is to under rated or over exposed due to his unfortunate 'sex scandal', they through out the baby with the bath water when it came to him. I have Wham!'s greatest hits and I LOVE to listen to it. 'Different Corner' is a beautiful song. I think there are some similarities with George's voice and Morrissey's...no?

I see the similarities also!

Yes, I share the same point of view. It's true than they have sort of the same vocal range, but most of all, I think Georgio and Moz share the same utter sense of "kindness". Being a nice person as the most important thing... Songs like "Jesus to a child" can be compared to Morrissey's "He knows" for example...

But I don't think the reason why Georges iso underestimated has to do with the sex scandal... I think he is still suffering from his ex-boy band playboy look image. Most people don't actually listen to his music closely, they just put the "shallow" label on this forehead.
It's no surprise that he called one of his album "listen without prejudice"...
(what a great title by the way!! does that remind you of something? hum? The world never listens anyway ;o)

ps: "a different corner" is an emotional masterpiece

You are so right! I forgot about Listen w/o Prejudice!
