Wham!, “Fantastic!” (Columbia, 1983)
Debut album from George Michael’s eventual Superstardom launchpad that damn near earns its exclamation marks. Rudimentary technopop souped up with canned-pineapple-esque Latinoid rhythms forms a backdrop for ear-snagging sing-songy vocals that play pseudo-political Brit-haircut-pop sloganeering for maximum silliness and fun.
