Could you not have put the whole of the first sentence in the title?

YADNBU. What a voice! I adore that song. I was so sad when he passed away. Haven't listened to him in a while, you've inspired me op.

She did it for traffic. I wouldnt have opened a thread saying "to think sometimes only George Michael hits the spot"

I only opened it to find out who George was. So guess it worked. And she's getting responses.

Yes! Older for me, but generally love him, and Wham

Love a bit of George especially with Christmas round the corner.

Totally OP. Was listening to him earlier this week.
Loved his covers of Somebody to Love, and Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.
Beautiful voice.

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 30/10/2021 13:13

YA definitely NBU. I first saw GM at Birmingham Odeon back in the 80s when he was in Wham! I love Praying for Time but my favourite of his songs is A Different Corner.

amillionrosepetals · 30/10/2021 13:20

He released Waiting For That Day when my heart was broken. It can still reduce me to tears.

Dita73 · 30/10/2021 13:21

I always listen to Prince when I’m cleaning. If I need to do it more quickly then I put The Prodigy on!

ParkheadParadise · 30/10/2021 13:23

I love George Michael BUT not for cleaning
My cleaning music contains
Proud Mary
Cry to Me
Beautiful Sunday
Dance little lady dance
On full volume, so I can have a dance and sing along while cleaning 😜😜

YADNBU Praying for time was released when I and a few hundred colleagues relocated from London to another big city and our company were throwing money at us to relocate. I remember becoming a bit uncomfortable about the consumerism even then as we all bought new properties and stuff to fill them. I love George, he was a tortured soul though.

saveforthat · 30/10/2021 13:30

A different corner is also my favourite

Motnight · 30/10/2021 13:33

You are not wrong, Op. Just played the whole of Listen Without Prejudice and half of Wham's Greatest Hits doing housework earlier.

Saw George live 4 times. He is much missed.

itsgettingwierd · 30/10/2021 13:33

I thought this was going to be a thread about Asda clothing 🤣

But you aren't wrong about George Michael. He's just easy to listen too.

He doesn't hit the spot better than Phil Collins though

I’m an Abba cleaner myself, occasionally switching it up to a bit of techno if the…

He certainly hits my 'time to turn this shite over' spot Grin

Agree. Meatloaf is the best cleaning music!

KatherineJaneway · 30/10/2021 13:51

Last Christmas (Pudding Mix). One of the best songs ever.

Waiting (Reprise) is an amazing song.
