Do you think the guy gets his due? Tough that he was fairly pop during the hair band then grunge years. Great songs

Careless whisper- maybe my favorite guilty pleasure song
Father figure
Faith
Freedom
I want your sex

These 3 would be in a list of my 100 favorite songs. I think he's slightly underrated.

Michael NEVER got the musical credit he deserved because he had such a carefully-crafted MTV pop-persona. But the guy had sick pipes, knew a melody and put together some of the most sophisticated pop stuff of that era. And sadly, a few real lame tunes that made me want to stick my head in an oven. I'm a fan, much more restrospectively, than at the time. Father Figure KILLS.

Great voice. Getting busted in in Beverly Hills didn't help his image but he don't give a frick.

Came home for lunch on day in the mid 80's and our housekeeper was watching MTV...."I Want Your Sex" was playing. She just looked at me and said "Damn, that's the best lookin white man I ever saw".

I would agree with him being a little underrated

I think him being a super nasty gay bastard made too many folks cringe every time he was on the radio . Trolling around picking up boys at the park and sucking dicks in airport urinals will do that for you

That sais, yes he can sing his arse off

Freedom 90 is definitely a guilty pleasure song of mine.

Underrated? As much as he was plastered across the TV and forced on us in the late 80's I'd go ahead and say overrated to this day. I still get nauseous to my stomach while hearing anything off that album.


However, I still feel the need to dance when listening to Freedom or Monkey.

I can remember my two eldest sisters freaking out when they found out the George liked to suck cock and stuff. I, being a couple years younger but wise beyond my years, knew it all along. My guess is that they were so enamoured by his twitching butt in the Faith video that they simply refused to believe he was a fig. My vast adolecent wisdom was not without its ups and downs when it came to George though. Case in point, I thought George was really bitching about a jilted lover who would not part with their pet monkey. Despite the monkey obviously having an adverse effect on their relationship and George's heartfelt pleas for them to release the monkey.

But I digress. I think George is rated where he ought to be. Right beside Boy George and those other 80's limey figs.

GM was a fantastic singer, but he got pigeonholed thanks the MTV visuals he's remembered for and the way things well, spun out publicly for him.

btw any Always Sunny fans like myself would appreciate the hilarious use of "Freedom" in last season's finale.
