Those are all great albums, Mindy. Not much of an INXS fan, but anyway...

The first concert that I went to was a road trip for me & 5 of my best girl friends. We drove to Philadelphia as 17 year old girls to see Wham! in concert. It was a trip of a lifetime!!! George Michael was dating (yeah, dating...) Brooke Shields at the time, and we happened upon her limo in the parking lot. We talked her chauffeur into letting us sit in the limo, and we thought we were hot shit. Shaka Khan and Katrina & the Waves were the opening bands, and it was a great show. When George Michael came out to perform "Careless Whisper" he has a freaking black leather vest and no shirt on... OMG! We went crazy!!! He was SOOOO hot back then. Of course, now...

I think George and Brooke 'broke up' soon after that, and then shortly thereafter George and Andrew Ridgeley parted ways as well. A great memory for a bunch of silly teenage girls. If I had known then what I know now, I would've passed on Wham! and gone to see Journey on the ROR tour.

I had Faith, DD Sountrack, and Hysteria in '88. Didn't get Kick until a few years later. The only MJ album I've ever owned was Thriller.

I remember listening to Faith, DD, and Hysteria all the time back then. What a flashback!!!
