Devolution here,

Now we are talking!

#15 - Faith by George Michael

Sales - 11,200,000

Released in October 1987
Number Ones = *

Track listing

1) Faith*
2) Father Figure*
3) I Want Your Sex
4) One More Try*
5) Hard Day
6) Hand to Mouth
7) Look At Your Hands
8) Monkey*
9) Kissing a Fool
10) Hard Day (Remix)
11) A Last Request

Alright, Four #1 songs that are totally legit. Makes this at least an 8.5, but lets look. The combination of great songs makes this an album that made Junior High pretty cool. Faith would be covered years later, and the songs on this album usually make people stop changing the station in the car. That includes any and all released songs. The bigger part is that some of these songs are more than 5 minutes long. That makes a commitment to listen to the songs in general.

Six really good songs gives this album a 9, but it is the staying power that makes this album a 9.5.

Album rating - 9.5

Need to own - Certainly

The song 'Hand To Mouth' sounds a lot like the Richard Marx song 'Hazard' that was released a few years later.

'Listen Without Prejudice' is George's best album, but Faith has the all important hits. 'Faith' itself may well be one of the most catchy songs of all time.

George is a King (ok, now he's a Queen, but back then he was a King).
