This could be just the thing to bring New Wave Kid back to the NWO forum!

Or maybe it already did. Any chance on that long awaited Wham! reunion?

Hey man, to each his own and everything because none of this shit is actually important but.....

"battle stations"?

Sorry, when I think of Wham I just don't think of combat.

I don't think this is better than A-Ha....

but Wham did make some good funky R&B dance, especially for a couple of white boys...good in their own way [:)]

There is not one song of A-ha that I would ever want to sit through, but I don't mind stuff off some Wham albums.

Where Did You Heart Go still a great song, should have been a bigger hit imho

Eh, a-Ha is closer to New Wave than Wham! is, anyway. Not that George lacked talent for crafting a catchy pop tune, but in the end they were purely a disco boy band.

Ain't that the truth.

I recall watching Wham on Top of The Pops "singing" Wake Me Up with their Choose Life t-shirts when I was 13 & thinking that I must have been born on another Planet if what I was watching passed for entertainment.
