Pop!

Pop music is awful, its true. However, its a subject thats
been troubling me over recent years. Everyone loves Blondie,
and there's not a man alive who doesn't love the Beatles.

It seems that pop music gains a vintage as it matures. Every
five or ten years, something poppy works its way back into
the record collection. Pop is fun, accessible, and necessary
for a well-roounded and diverse taste, as long as the 13
year-old girls have got over it.

What's hot at the moment:
'mysterious Girl' by Peter Andre
'Mmmmbop' by Hanson
'Reach' by S Club 7.

". Everyone loves Blondie, and there's not a man alive who

that's a bit extreme.

most pop is not that interesting..to me.

Nothing impresses me more than a taut, well-written,
timeless pop song. That's a craft only the most skilled and
charismatic can master.

Of course if we're talking pop as in ''POPular'' or ''what's
hot on the radio at any given time''', then yeah, it's
usually pretty dire. Now moreso than ever, I think, though I
don't really know what's hawt now.

The Beatles borre me although I can't say I dislike them.

'Pop music is awful' is a stupid thing to say. Badly
wrritten generric pop music is awful, but then so is metal
etc... when it's just crrap in the firrst place.

But we've had this topic.

Popular pop is dead (I suppose?), unpopular pop is alive and
kicking and totally poptastic.

have you ever looked at popcharts around the time Blondie
and the Beatles were popular?

there has ALWAYS been shit in the charts.

i haven't read this thread but there are two types of
popular music.

1)music written, as art, which the mainstream has embraced
and has become popular through artistic merit.

2) music written as a marketing tool to sell a brand or an
image, to generate revenue.

there is a difference between the two.
blah blah blah pop. i'm sick and need lemsip and soup.

admitting your like for S Club was a grave grave error.
Besides, every one knows that S Club Party is the truly hott
number.

The Beatles were unique, though. Their music was subject to
the most radical evolution I've ever heard inside of pop.
Also, they did the experimentation thing ludicrously well.
