Think About Me, am I the only one squarely annoyed by this song? A lot of it may have to do with the production on it, I don't think Buckingham really got this one. At all.
This song is fabulous, one of those great Christine-Lindsey collabs that melds his talent for subversion with her melodic smarts and sexual heat. I just love how the guitar sounds, especially after the second chorus. John does his trademark rock-steady thumping until he plays a few extra notes as the guitar plays major chords. As for the chorus, it's one of those Bernard Sumner-esque moments of lucidity that looks stupid on paper ("I don't hold you down/Maybe that's why you're around") but accrues more meaning when you don't separate it from the arrangement.
It took me a while to warm to this song (it was the third single too), but now it's probably Christine's best punchy rocker.

I think what is great about that couplet is the fact that both singers sound like they only realise the second line after they've sung the first. It's fabulous.
That said "What Makes You Think You're The One" is the song most cruelly robbed by this poll.
