- Wham, Bam, these Young Guns WERE the Men...
From '82 to '86, these two young handsome Brits were a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic, with Dance-Pop hits like "I'm Your Man" and "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go". The other good songs I still like to this day, with me being way too young to be a fan of this duo in the '80's, are "If You Were There", the original version of "Everything She Wants", the original, really poppy sound of "Freedom", "The Edge Of Heaven", "Wham Rap!", "Young Guns (Go For It!)", and the two remixes at the end, however, "I'm Your Man '96" doesn't quite sound nearly as appealing as it's original version. All in all, this was certainly the standard stepping stone for a legend in the making in pop music, George Michael. This collection truly compiles the best of Wham!, that's for sure. It's worth a listen, pick it up sometime soon!

- Fantastic CD to have in your 80's collection!
This CD is a very good item for all WHAM! fans or even for people, who are not real fans, but are sentimental about 80's. The sound quality here is better than on the original releases and all songs are really good. Also, two extra remixes (especially, "Everything She Wants") are very cool. Pitty that it was not released in USA, but this CD is worth the money spent.
- WHAM
Most of Wham's hits are included in this collection. "Wake me Up before You Go-Go" is a popular hit included in this. One not included is "Careless Whisper" which is rather surprising and a little angering. All of the other ones you remember are here though. If you liked Wham in the 80's or George Michael in general, this is a good collection to have. Nuff' said!

- I was there:-)
This is the ultimative collection of the 80's best pop band (and for me the best pop band ever). It contains twelve of their hits, most of them made it to the top position in the british charts. Notable exceptions are 'Bad Boys' and 'Careless Whisper' (which is part of the 'Make it Big' album, but was as single a solo release by George).
If you enjoyed music from the '80s, buy this album. Now! :-)
If you enjoy pop/dance/fun music at all, give this album a try.
If you were a Wham! fan, you already own this album, right?
If you like George Michael, give this album a try, but remember, that George strives to become another Elton John (he bought his piano, remember?), whereas Wham! is more than a predecessor for todays boy bands like N'Sync etc (with the small difference that todays groups are made whereas Wham! made themselves).

- Why waste CD time on remixes and omit "Careless Whisper" is beyond me
Gee,the CD seemed fine. My favorites are here. "Everything She Wants" (original),"Freedom","Young Guns (Go For It)","Where Did Your Heart Go?","Careless Whisper"...hey,wait a second..."Careless Whisper" ain't on here. The ultimate George Michael/Wham! ballad and this is supposed to be a greatest hits album and that song missed? "A Different Corner" also? Because of stupid remixes of "I'm Your Man" & "Everything She Wants"? Huh,I rather listen to ANDREW RIDGELEY's solo album than those remixes. Really! Psyche!
