Havent heard this track in a long time, remember liking it. Should I play it again?
Well I guess it would be nice...

Broccoli Robs cover was the best.

The very fact that he calls it pop-pop

Love this album! When the first song transitions from the church organ to the guitar my whole disposition brightens up. You can’t help but get into it!

Great album. Also makes a great reference record. You can get really clean copies on vinyl for cheap. I highly recommend doing so.

Fuck. Thanks for the reminder. Crazy how old we are.
When my dad was my age, he had two kids in college. Meanwhile, I am living my best life, child free!

That’s how I was introduced to this song. It came out in 1997 when I was 10 and I didn’t even realize it was a cover.

I sure did when I was 12

Yes, it's exactly how a cover should be done. Enough of their own style poured into it, whether you like it or not is up to you but they made it their own in a very good way. Much better than their cover of Behind Blue Eyes.

I just realize how old I am :( I was 19 old when it was released.

Yes, pop greatness, but Listen Without Prejudice vol 1 is an even better album.

Brilliant album apart from the song Monkey

I've always thought Faith is one of the greatest pop albums, while Listen Without Prejudice is simply one of the greatest albums, full stop.

Monkey is a song about drug addiction not an actual monkey.
Horseyboy21 t1_iufg8z7 wrote
True. It’s just the song. Just hate it. Just does not blend in with the Album.

Groundbreaking at the time. One of the great seminal albums in a year full of them.

Obsessed with this album when I was 10. So much so, that I took my fake diamond earring out of my ear and put a dangling cross in that I bought with my paper route money.
Judaism and a pissed off mother aside, I felt cooler than I ever had and ever would. Ever again.

Pishwari nan I love George retrospective tracks x

It depends on what you mean by enjoy. I think that growling the chorus of an upbeat 80s pop song is hilarious, but I wouldn't say that it's good.

The song I still come back to on this album is "Kissing a Fool". The last single released from the album.
George's take on Sinatra-era songwriting. The arrangement, the instrumentation, it highlights the range in his voice and how this hushed song builds into that frenetic ending (and then the resignation of realizing that it's not meant to be) is brilliant.
