I've been enjoying all the favourite album threads so I thought we might as well have another.
Let's be honest, SAW were (mostly) a bit crap, but they did occasionally produce a little gem.

1) - Donna Summer - Another Place & Time
2) - Mel & Kim - FLM
3) - Bananarama - Wow
4) - Sonia - Everybody Knows
5) - Kylie - Enjoy Yourself

Any more you can think of?

rhythm of love - kylie minogue. that was saw at their peak creatively! that was so good. ok, they didn't produce all the tracks on that album. however the singles `better the devil you know`, `what do i have to do` , `shocked` were all beyond brilliant!

i have to agree with the donna summer record. that was a highlight.

I was just about to suggest that. Several of the tracks were written and produced by Stephen Bray who did the likes of into The Groove for Madonna. As you say though the SAW stuff on there was some of their best.

One I've discovered recently is Princess's self titled debut from 1986. Say I'm you're Number One, I'll Keep On Loving You, and After The Love Has Gone are some of the best tracks they did imo.

yeah, these tracks were soulful. pretty credible stuff actually. i also love the work they did with lonnie gordon. i think these tracks were meant for donna`s follow up album to `another time and place`. however, that didn't happen.

You're right, 'Happening all over again' was going to be the lead single off Donna's second SAW album, but they had a massive falling out so most of the songs were give to Lonnie.

I would agree with the above but would add the Big Fun album.

I absolutely LOVE "Another Place & Time" by Donna summer.

I wish she had recorded another album with them.

rhythm of love was new and fresh for saw and they never out done it, it was also a huge turning point in kylie;s career and i think had kylie not gone down that road at the time her career may not be what it is today.

very true. i`m not sure it went down well with her younger fans. i was furious she straightened her hair! how embarrassing!

however, it was a more grown up sound.

I always remember seeing the better the devil you know video for the first time and though oh what have you done kylie(looks wise) but the song was just class and still is, i also remember there been quiet a forore about the what do i have to video aswell, but nonetheless it was these songs and videos that really help carve her career and also i think gave kylie a real taste for how she wante dto take her career.

yes, that is what i thought at the time. i guess i was used to her looking the other way.

what do i have to do is such a good song as well. remember dannii in the video for like 1 second? it also continue the progessiom. shocked, another classic!

however, word is out, not a good follow up. beginning of the end of her time at pwl! apart from finer feelings, i think she should have left after the third album!

1.Sonia - Everybody Knows
2.Mel & Kim - F.L.M
3.Donna Summer - Another Place & Time

^^ No need to skip past any track, as every track on each of those albums is single worthy !

At the time i wasnt a huge fan of word is out but was so disapointed it didnt make top 10 as it was her first single not to do so, however over the years i have grown to love the song. Finer feelings never truly gelled with me and i rarely listen to it, lets get to it was a poor follow up to rhythm of love but im still glad she made the album. She was right to leave saw at that time, i remember thinking she was crazy for doing so at the time but i was only about 14, now i fully know why she did, if she hadnt we would have never got some of the brilliant kylie albums we have today.

Jason Donovan between the lines was a pretyy decent saw album aswell.

in fairness to kylie, she was the only artist to fulfil their contract with pwl! i was 14 when rhythm of love came out, so i can relate to your shock at her change in direction!

i was a bit older when she finally left pwl and was excited by her contract with deconstruction. however, i felt pretty disappointed by km94!

I was so dispointed with km 94 and i hated confide in me, thanfully impossible princess was a huge improvement and its an album i still love and then of course the fantastic light years came which was a fantastic return to form for kylie.

Did saw produce bananarama;s pop life album?
