What do you think is the best pop record of all time? Not looking for the most important, largest selling or notorious - just the most perfect.
Needs to be reasonably well known - or it doesn’t really qualify as ‘pop’ - none of STW’s favourite achingly cool favourites! 😉
So let us have your contenders! This is mine - sorry for the fact I had to use a movie clip for it. Marvin Gaye - I Heard it Through the Grapevine

^^ really not convinced. 😀
abba. dancing queen.
Mmm Bop - Hanson
Groove is in the heart - Deee-Lite
or,
I'm a believer - The Monkees
Poptastic.
Don’t know if it’s best, but I’ve always loved ‘God Only Knows’ by the Beach Boys.
It’s a cheesy throwaway pop on at first listen but has a really depth and warmth.
Ghah!! If you are not accepting of Black Lace.. have
Instead..
Catchy tune, hotpants, what more could you want?
that one off Titanic by Sealion Dyin'
#bollocksthread
Or.. ha’ ya by Outcast
Teardrop Explodes - Reward. 3 minutes of pop perfection!
Voyage voyage, desireless
Has to be Abba and dancing Queen is a good choice
Hey Yah is a good one, can’t believe it’s 15 years old (give or take)
Straight in at number 1.
Or.. Poker Face .. Lardy GrrrGrr
I’m bored now, the subject matter is beyond my whiskey fuddled brain.
Gonna be a hard thread. Just one that springs to mind . Perfect 10~ beautiful south
Ghah! I’m back..
Considering it’s just belting down again outside I’m proposing this nugget of exquisite song writing..
If we're talking proper pop music, I nominate this...
You're all wrong. It's obviously Whitney
Some dubious definitions of "pop" here.
Feeling old? Toni Basil is in her mid 70s now...
Because I'm a fanboy, I'll offer:
Toni Basil , inspired choice. Wasn't she about 40 or something when she did that?
In the words of Alan P... A-haaaaaaa!
Nope, I have more..
Ace of Base - The Sign
&
All that she wants
End of thread...
River Deep Mountain High - Ike & Tina Turner.
Proud Mary - Creedence Clearwater Revival
curiousyellow - MemberEnd of thread...
Dear sweet lord baby jesus and the wee donkey no. I did a music video with John oNeil in the late 90s and even he hated that song with a passion.
Supergrass - Alright
Mark and Lard said so ..... so musical fact
Some great suggestions.
Bikebouy - have you sought professional help?
Don't like Abba but did they ever write a duff tune?
My all time favourite pop song, Come on Eileen. I was 12 and my teacher was called Eileen. In the days when knowing your teacher's first name was somehow taboo. She probably doesn't have such fond memories of the song.
Contender: Echo Beach.
Yes, but I’ve now got Ace of Base on full whack on the headphones and dancing around the living room..
I (pop) rock me.
Ohh look, iiiiiiiiiio’m back...
How did we forget this “classic” for that’s what it truly is.
Any vid that has a bloke with a cardboard box on his head, clicking his heals and God joining in is an absolute winner..
I think I’ve won.
Play what you love bikebouy. Always the best way!
It's Billie Jean. You all know it.
It's an impossible question really, but this has to be a contender:
Was gonna do 'God save the Queen' by the Sex Pistols, but that can't of been that popular because they wouldn't play it on the radio...
Was gonna do 'God save the Queen' by the Sex Pistols, but that can't of been that popular because they wouldn't play it on the radio...
Is it "popular" or the best example of "the pop genre".
You want the philosophy thread pal, I'm just here to spin phat toonz
B’Jebus.. I’m spending too much time on this.. but secretly I love it.
Las Ketchup, if you have children and if you went anywhere in mainland Europe in 2010-11 or even 12 then I guarantee you will have heard this epitome of Pop..
No no, no no no no, no no no no, it's not 2unlimited
That lmfao video is great.
My votes for girls aloud biology though
