fuck you glice, i'm welling up.

If it's any consolation, it has exactly the same effect on me, except I laugh at the ridiculousness of crying to a Rolf Harris song. He's one of two musicians to make me weep in public, the other being Laura Cantrell. I completely forgot this masterpiece earlier . Not proper pop, but always sung by certain quarters I hated this at the time, but it's grown on me Getting silly now, WHISTLE POSSE!!!!!!!

Kelis - In Public

The greatest pop writers were the beatles, the beach boys, and michael jackson. There are plenty of great pop songs by other artists. I love pop, and I'm not afraid to say it. It just gets a bad wrap because there's alot of douchebags who make shitty pop and not enough serious artists who tackle the genre anymore. I would go as far as to say the Pixies wrote alot of solid pop songs. But they also rocked hard. Syd Barrett Pink Floyd had a few, quirky, but kickass pop songs in the vein of the pixies (using it as an example, even though they came before the pixies) like See Emily Play for example.

so yea, See Emily Play is my pop song of the moment.

[Sandbag] · 02.01.2009, 03:52 PM

i have no idea what pop means

nirvana - about a girl
that'll do

DeadDiscoDildo · 02.01.2009, 03:58 PM

about a girl is exactly what pop means.

davenotdead · 02.01.2009, 04:08 PM

Beach Boys - - God Only Knows

Talking Heads - - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)

best pop songs evr

DeadDiscoDildo · 02.01.2009, 04:43 PM

Agreed. But I will not agree that the beach boys were a shitty band. Take out Mike Love who contributed nothing musically, and they were actually a solid 50s rock n roll band. Stupid lyrics in the early days, but try to sing their parts and play instruments at the same time and you'd be simplifying it too, brotha.

:-)

If you count their voices as instruments which you should, they are up there with any great band in my opinion, including zepplin.

EDIT: WHOOPS IM HIGH!

Thought this was the good songs by crap bands thread.

God Damnit.

I think Wild Is The Wind goes "Love me, love me, love me, love me, say you do. Let me fly away with you"

The Bowie version does anyway.

Great song.

There is only one in my book. Listen through to the end and live the dream. Anyone who can honestly say they hate this is clearly a cunt and will probably hate this too, and this.
