I’d look at your butt, George, but I’m transfixed by Dennis Miller’s main-esque mullet.

Transfixed like Cardinal Richelieu staring at Louis XIII's wife, Anne of Austria, and being inspired to jump into the Thirty Years War. /Millerized

I thought Early Wham meant Wham! before they recorded any music and I was going to vote for that, but then I thought about it some more & had to accept that Late Wham (which is terrible) wouldn't have existed without Early Wham first. So I voted for George Michael.

PC and solo George are both great. This is a tough choice...
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Heston, what are the parameters for “losing” this poll? I mean other than making it in the first place.

I'm not telling because people would then deliberately vote for me to lose. I will let the poll run its course then announce my future intentions.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

He's gotten 12 people (minus himself) to commit to a musical Sophie's choice. That's kind of a perverse win, I guess.

Okay, GM has like four or five great songs. PC has closer to ten. No contest, PC.

Also, is Careless Whisper a Wham or GM solo song? How the fuck is this unclear? Wikipedia says it's a GM solo tune, but it was released on a Wham album and was cowritten by the Wham dude who isn't GM. So weird.

Solo in the UK, released as Wham in the States I think. Andrew Ridgely got a writing credit even though he wrote fuck all on it.

This poll is as flawed as the general elections where "None of the above" should be an option, the only difference here being I don't know how to spoil my vote. Even if the question was "Who should be hit first and hardest?" I still can't decide.

Careless Whisper is a great song.

I was right not to vote in this as it is clearly rigged.
