I have to say that the first time I heard "Wake Me Up > Before You Go-Go," I liked it - that happens with very few songs for me.

Your point is well taken (In fact I agree wholehartedly that there is *no* criteria for objectively determining whether a song is good or bad, it's entirely subjective!); however, the reason I commented on the WHAM! song is because I really don't like the mentality it portrays; I like an artist to show that they have something other than sex on their mind all the time. I like a change of pace, ya know! Not just another boring song about the same thing as most other top-40 hits. -- "What do you want from life?" "uh, I don't know that! Aaauuughhhh!!!" come on, you know where these two quotes are from, don't ya?? Jeff Lewis vvvvvvvvvvvv {decvax|ucbvax|allegra|seismo|harpo|teklabs|ihnp4}!pur-ee!lewie ^^^^^^^^^^^^
