Weekly finale: George Michael

With George Michael's death earlier this week, it is only fitting he should be the subject of this week's musical finale.

Michael started out in the pop duo Wham, which produced some fairly mindless pop. However, the song Careless Whisper was later covered by heavy metal band Seether, producing a very palatable song:



It wasn't until Michael went solo that he made some really good music. Unfortunately, that good music only consisted of one excellent album, Faith, and then occasionally decent singles.

Faith's title track is arguably the best song from his best album:



However, there is a hidden gem on the album, the song Kissing a Fool. Ironically, this was the working title for the album and was only changed later.



That is all from me until next year, or Monday. Happy New Years!
