We're just going to come out and say it: we were looking forward to Pete Waterman's Hit Factory concert.The show - which was due to take place in London's Hyde Park today (July 11) but got cancelled due to bad weather - was to play host to some of the best (and cheesiest) of '80s and '90s pop, including Sinitta, Rick Astley, Steps and Kylie Minogue.
To commiserate, we've dug up 11 of our favourite PWL classics below:

I watched the Queens of British Pop thing on BBC One a couple of weeks ago. He spoke about poor Kylie like she was his pet. Poor girl, that can't be nice.

Never been fan of PWL works. But I am a fan of Jason Donovan 3rd album from Polydor (the original one).

Love the SAW period, They really were the Motown of the 80's. IMO I prefer Kylie's version of Turn It In To Love! lol

Pete Waterman's always struck me as a cynical, pop-by-numbers producer with no love of music. Maybe they're all like that, but he depresses me slightly whenever he's on music docs.

Sam Fox's I Surrender was not a PWL production, do some research!!
