Triumph is just a great album period George Michael can sing his ass off and the Dream has some great songs-I know I call him Teddy Graham but his songs sound great. | |

Triumph and Destiny are amazing, perfect albums! Love George's voice as well. Careless Whisper was one of my favourite songs of all time for years, but now I like Everything She Wants better | |

Love both of those albums Careless Whisper is great, but it never was a fav of mine. I love One More try better and Wham is just great. Wonder what happened to Andrew | |

Prince's Love 2 the 9's is about one of the best harmonized songs I have ever heard-without the rap it is a beautiful song and showcases his voice. | |

Of those that haven't already been mentioned, when it comes to good vocal harmonies, a few of my favorite songs include...
...and anything by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong. | |

And IMO a good example of autotune being used creatively, not to mention a nice Debarge sample thrown in
That reminds me of the beautiful:
Last Night-Az Yet Doin' It Again- L L Cool J (awesome mix!) [Edited 5/13/12 2:02am] | |

The highlights of the entire Symbol lp are Prince's vocal arrangements and Mike's drums. I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |
