Wow... don't get my mail for a few days and look what happens...
With a rather broad view of the word "pop" (it's all about melody, imo), my
favourite pop songs are...
Van Morrison - "Brown-Eyed Girl"
U2 - "Bad" and "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"
The Pixies - "Alec Eiffel" and "Letter to Memphis"
The Beatles - "And Your Bird Can Sing", "Across the Universe", and "She Said
She Said"
REM - "Nightswimming" and "Find the River"
Bjork - "Pagan Poetry"
Idlewild - "Roseability"
The Strokes - "Hard to Explain"
The list goes on. I'll stop.
Hey Jarrod, you remember our endless pop song duel a couple of years ago?
