George Michael: Listen Without Prejudice

[tju1973]

I dug this out of the vault today--- While it did not have the commercial success of "Faith" ( I think "Listen.." sold a couple million units anyway), it is a way better listen, and is actually quite good. I was a headbanger in HS, so I did not really get into him till my late 20s (I am 33-- almost 34 now). His voice and talent really stand the test of time and believe it or not, I actually listen to Wham! for the musicianship...... How times of changed.. Good job George--- keep the good work coming....

I don't know the man's music......but I never took him to be one that would write his own songs. It seemed to me that he was one that studio producers would hand a song and say, "sing this". Now, I don't know if this is right.....it's just the impression that I get. Other than the few singles, I have no idea what his material is like.

Other than the few singles, I have no idea what his material is like. and even played a good deal of instruments on this one. It wasn't the commercial success of Faith, but it was better-- way better musically. "Freedom '90" and "Praying For Time" are my 2 favorites... now back to Slayer...

good. The Best of GM is also a great retrospective. Its a shame that he got sidelined by his habits (drugs, other men, his own navel etc) because he really might continued. Everytime I put on one of his CDs, my wife and friends all listen up. I've turned a few people onto him.
