I hate "Got My Mind Set On You", too. I much prefer Weird Al's sendup-- you must play "This song's just six words long". Hilarious.
However, the rest of Cloud 9 is wonderful. Since it closes with GMMSOY you can easily avoid it.

I've generally been able to find it on YouTube with a search. The quality of those videos vary, but you can look away and at least hear all the clever lyrics. One of his best, I thought.
He also spoofed "Taxman" with "Pacman"- in that case do try to find the actual Al video, because the graphics are pretty funny. George liked Al's work (of course); I can imagine them accidentally meeting in a restaurant after Al did his spoof, and Al sliding under the table to hide.

According to All Music Guide his worst album is "Gone Troppo". It received 1 of 5 stars! . Is really that bad?
I just listened to it today, for the first time in a long time. I don't think it's bad, it's just average. All the songs share the same mellow mood, with lots of harmonized slide guitars, but there's nothing really remarkable about any of them.
The only exceptions would be "Wake Up My Love', since that's the song with the most synths, and "Circles", which has a "bluesy" (for lack of a better word) feel to it.
Electronic Sound is by far the worst to me. If I knew albums like that could sell, I'd be rich along time ago. The only other major turn off was the "George Harrison" album, something I don't like about perms.
"No one around you will love you today and throw it all away..." "Nothing is real..." "Its all in the mind..." "And life flows on within you and without you..."

Fortunately, you don't have to listen to the perm to enjoy the music. But I understand. I never liked the cover to the "Brainwashed" album, so I have to sort of avert my eyes when I play it.

I really don't think Gone Troppo is as bad as peoplesay it is. I mean not his best, but I like a few songs on it like Dream Away is so fun and Cirlces is good and Mystical One.

Well, in my most humble opinion, there is no such thing. LOL. I find something fantastic about each and every one of George's albums.
