Perfect Pop Songs
ABBA made music considered to be Pop. Their records sold a lot, so were indeed popular. If they DIDN'T sell well, would they therefore not be considered Pop? Of course not. Yes, Pop is short for popular, but the use of the term Pop for a genre of music uses that term in a less-than-literal sense. The 3 Tenors album sold more copies than most non-Classical albums. Are we to consider well-selling Classical albums Pop music? |
Under the "Pop" genre, I'll add: I'll Be the One - Badfinger You Got Me Anyway - Sutherland Brothers & Quiver Idiot - Robin Lane & The Chartbusters Tiger Nights - The Bongos Torn in Two - Shoes That is Why - Jellyfish Just because a song doesn't become popular, many of the songs people have mentioned in this thread should've been popular. In the case of the Beach Boys, listed below are the highest chart positions of some of their best songs: God Only Knows - # 39 Don't Worry Baby - # 24 In My Room - # 23 Surfer Girl - # 7 If you want to know about the taste of an average American popular music fan, I'll rest my case on those numbers cited above. |
