Turns out there's a reason why people only remember a couple of their songs. George Michael had one hell of a voice, but Wham! was a questionable outlet for said voice. So much corny production everywhere. Makes me happy the 80's are long gone. I still like Last Christmas, but that one isn't even on an album, so it's safe to say their albums suck.

I wanna get a full impression of Pure Heroine first, but if I like it at all, Melodrama would follow eventually no doubt.

Madonna's Confessions on the Dance Floor does a lot of the same things while being a lot better.

That pretty much describes my take on that 80's flavored Taylor Swift album that everyone was raving about a few years ago. I thought it was a thin cup of tea and stuffed in too many shallow 80's cliches instead of just trying to focus on solid songs. There's still not one single Swift album I can get along with.
I guess I've liked some songs off that Madonna album. Moments on the album kinda did Abba better than they did themselves.

Hollaback Girl is pretty annoying though. But I'll survive it.
