You can take a horse to water etc.

I did listen to them all they way through man.


I will like paper planes eventually. give me three or four listens

the sean kingston song is like from another universe than mine...

spice girls
madonna

Obviously peoples idea of pop is alot different than mine. I see 'Pop' as The Shins, The Dissociatives, The Sleepy Jackson, etc etc. And, of course, the Beatles.

Regina Spektor
Fiona Apple
Fiest
the Shins

i dont know if you ever heard this record, thriller or somethin made by some insane guy named jacko or whatever, but its prolly the most perfect pop (pop as in that its good music that appeals to the masses) record made, besides pet sounds.

Blondie, but you probably already have it.

pop music does NOT ROCK

if it rocks, even in the slightest, then it is "poppy" ROCK, not POP MUSIC!

the beatles were ROCK. never forget it.

Rob, man, The Beatles WERE POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the beatles were a ROCK BAND man. they were POPULAR, but that does not mean they were POP.

paul mccartney skewed them that way though....

Revolution
day in the life
get back
taxman
everybody's got siomething to hide cept for me and my monkey
why don;t we do it in the road
helter skelter
strawberry fields
birthday
I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY)
etc etc etc etc

most of their songs are straight up ROCK songs man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pop-rock maybe ?
( it's hard to make a compromise with you, guys)

Dude, like, Marras is right... they still are like... totally awesome and like... ROCK... but they're like, totally... pop dude!

i always liked the song by all saints for the soundtack of The Beach

What about the genre-busting Cowboy troy?

You have a skewed MTV perception of what 'Pop' is.

I always considered them pop.

I give up.

I'm not sure if I'd call the Beatles a 'Rock' band at all. Maybe a few individual songs, but generally they were Pop. It's obvious that Lennon was heading sllightly more in the Rock direction, but the band split before they could ever really become a Rock band, as such. Besides, with Macca's interest in avant-garde composition, Harrison's growing interest in electronics and Lennon's political 'radicalism' I'm guessing that had they ever BECOME a rock band, it would've probably been more along the lines of something like Amon Duul or Faust than AC/DC. Unfortunately, we'll never know, and the post-Beatles solo albums offer next to no help whatsoever.

definition of pop is an odd thing... i fucking hate that joy division is pop now - love will tear us apart is like the only song people know if i ever play a cover live and you i saw it in an ad the other day for some compliation it really makes me fucking sick for a couple of reasons that i wont go into... but ive always kind of liked bands that were really alternative but flirted with the mainstream in a big way - the cure are a perfect example... i dont feel like getting into the subject right now. however - i think i'd define it as anything that's been manufactured in someway or another... or really indicative of the time - being heavily marketed that kind of stuff...


The Pippettes are the best pop band ive seen in years...

I second Serge Gainsbourg.

The Pipettes are fun ... I saw them last year on a summer festival and I loved their concert. Catchy, funny and amusing.

dont forget slutty!
but yeah same here - and they were actually a lot of fun opening the fest.

A lot of The Cure's singles seemed like really good pop to me - The Love Cats, Just Like Heaven etc. The 2 singles compilations are very good.

blondie is beaauuutiful pop music
i also reccomend a lot of disco:
andrea true connection - more, more, more
the trammps - disco inferno
etc. all the disco hits were fantastic.

Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction

That song is the jam!

Britney's new single is catchy as fuck.
