Maybe we need a pop music thread to save us all
 

I don't really know if many of you have a love for all things pop (and when i say pop i mean glittery,fun,hedonistic pop).I got quite inspired by a well respected board member on here(Gl.....Genetic kiss is,i think, his/her username.hehe) who made me think a bit about the tracing of one's own music taste in a personal history of facts,feelings and memories that lead one type of music to another in a seemingly incoherent pattern.The naming and shaming is an easy weapon when you haven't met the glacially glamorous glare of the pop face, so i hope this thread wont attract diatribes about the superiority of (insert music genre of choice here) over the type of music i'm referring to.Discuss........

Name one pop act.

Duran Duran

Masturabate your pop sensibilities all over this thread.Now!

Hah... Erasure... :) Excellent melodies. Just the right amount of gayness too.

Christina Aguilera's Genie In A Bottle brings back memories too...

I recommend everyone download the following for a taster on pop, if you're unaware of this much maligned, obscure, and ultimately better genre.

Sclub7 - Don't Stop Movin'
Steps - Tragedy
Take That - Back for Good
Britney Spears - Toxic
Erasure - It doesn't have to be
So solid cru - 21 seconds
Mis-teeq - all I want
Special D - come with me
Abba - the winner takes it all
Avril Lavigne - complicated
The Carpenters - Close to you
Madonna - like a virgin
Pet shop Boys - West End Girls
Busted - Sleepin' with the light


....

Oh dear, I could write that list forever. Pop owns yo'.

*Edit: You can probably make a fair stab at my age from that list...

But to be nostalgiacal, A Ha...

Black Eyed Peas, lest we forget.

Urghhghghh... Busted just sucks too much... they sound like a bunch of toddlers.

Word.

Frontin'

Is Kelly Osbourne pop? Most definitely.

Kelly osbourne-One Word:Good

I like a lot of 80's pop songs. Especially those by INXS, Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Tears For Fears and some other bands.

Inxs in their prime were gods

The song that played during the credits of Ferris Bueller...?

sowing the seeds of love is white soul at its best :)
