Awesome 80s Albums: George Michael - Faith

Welcome to the 22nd post in my 32 post series of awesome 80s albums.

i don't think the list of awesome 80s albums would be complete without this gem from George Michael.  The album in question is George Michael's colossal 1987 solo debut (after Wham!), Faith.  Apparently, the album had a strong debut and to date has sold over 25 million albums.  There were 7 singles released from this album - however, some of the single versions are better (in my opinion) than the album versions.  Those were the days, before George Michael started acting strange and passing out behind the wheel of his car.  This pretty album pretty much dominated my listening time in 1988 - this is a fun album to sing along to.  This album was indeed fun to sing along to.  i had a "friend" in elementary school who wasn't allowed to listen to the second side of the album. 

Notable Singles:
* "Faith"
* "I Want Your Sex" - the album version is a two parter, i prefer the first version alone
* "Father Figure"
* "One More Try"
* "Monkey" - i like the remixed single version better
* "Kissing a Fool" - awesome song

Other Singles:
* "Hard Day"

Other Songs on the Album (in a variety of awesomeness):
* "Hand to Mouth"
* "Look at Your Hands"
* "A Last Request"
* "Hard Day (Remix)"
