OMG 'Games Without Frontiers' by Peter Gabriel is awesome and Kate Bush sings on it too!
I think you've just converted me :) Nice to see he has remastered albums out now, i'll check them out, Peter Gabriel III will probably be the first one i get as it seems to be regarded as his masterpiece.

I dunno what's in the charts now, but you can't go wrong with a Carpenters compilation. Baby. Or both of the Creedence Clearwater Revival ''Chronicles''. And the horribly underrated Monkees, and Badfinger and Big Star.

not cool really. i wish i'd speak as good as i have, again :)
for real though, i loved to spend summers at their place...great countryside, instead of this stupid city.
nacmat, thanks for recommendations, that's what im talking about EVERYONE!!!...i totally forgot about george michael, and he's cool!
i picked prince's stuff already, and whitney is kinda too, well, not upbrat enough :)
ophecks, i don't know either of those, i'll check them out, although i have a feeling it's more of that beatles sound again :)

I think you mean Don't Give Up about the Kate Bush duet... but yeah, he's awesome... Peter Gabriel 3 isn't my favorite, but it has some nice stuff on it... I much prefer Security over it, and really Us and Up are both excellent... Up, which is newest, is really fantastic... has some great production work on it... and he spent over 10 years on it, so it's just right! :)

well I just listened to the song, and while she is listed in the credits as backing vocals on that song, you can't even tell... but if you like Kate Bush you might like the song Don't Give Up, as it's a duet between her and Peter Gabriel...

thats weird, she sings 'jeux sans frontieres' in the song, she signs before Peter Gabriel does... unless your thinking of another song or a version with her edited out.

(first of all, i'm not a native english speaker, so... excuse me )hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, tolstoyed, i'm replying to your first message. Wellll, popsong is soooo subjective, so subjective... actually i think, everything in music except noise are popsongs ? Is that Ok ? Actually I think aphex does pop songs and even Oval is very close to pop songs (and, yes bon jovi is not pops song but a commercial sound shit:), but who does the strongest pop songs ? well, i think this is very difficult question. for me, the best pop song must be very STRONG as a hmm, pop song, but a the same time it must the as "ALTERNATIVE" as possible. I Think, BJORK is best in it. that's all :)
Btw, I REALLY like KAte Bush. I trully believe bjork is continuation of Kate Bush (soory agauin for my poor english...\)

your english looks good to me, although im not a native english speaker, so what do i know :)
well, i was kinda trying to get recomendation for those pop songs everyone knows...mainstream pop songs...the cheesy stuff if you like :)
not sure i understand why you'd consider afx pop and noise not pop...my guess is coz of sound?
scissor sisters are great example of great (non mainstream?) pop.
thanks to everyone else who made recommendations...i found plenty of good stuff...so im turning into big pop fan now!

basically i consider pop anything with pop structure. the structure i can follow. not just "cool" sounds i can enjoy to. actually i consider pop with music and like it. and I hate noise
despite the fact i have alot of noise records and enjoy them. that's because i think noise destroys the original goal of music..

bryan ferry and roxy music are ace!
i'll check those others...thanks
zhuzha - you knoe me, or you know what i mean. what you said about bjork is very true, maybe that's why she's so popular...appart from her music being great that is. and yes, i was asking a while ago, why she got so popular and on other hand all these electronica guys who helped her with her music are far less popular...the only real argument why she succeeded was coz of lyrics/vocals.
