Never thought I'd pick George Michael in a Joy Division battle. George loves music and Morrissey loves himself.

George Michael's analysis on Joy Division was very scholarly, as well as eloquent; it was very refreshing to see that side of him!

I miss George. He was an intelligent man caught up in a judging hypocritical world.

Only George seemed to grasp their uniqueness and musical influence, that lasted through the decades. He was also spot-on about Paul Morleyā€™s pretentiousness.

George Michael was seen as just another pop star back then, not to be taken seriously, but looking back he's was one of the most talented people in music in the 80's and he had it all, such a great singer.

I remember watching this at the time of broadcast and being impressed by Georgeā€™s good taste. Itā€™s incredible that George Michael and Morrissey were once on the same program. This was a good tv show, please put more online.

I can't imagine a more eclectic music industry panel from that era in Britain.

It's amazing how much music mattered back then. Pop stars were considered serious intellectuals. It's irrelevant, now.

I watched this for Morrissey back in 1984 and had little time for George Michael. Now, I have far more respect for the latter.
