Perfect Pop Songs
My late Friday Night offering: The Bobby Fuller Four - "I Fought The Law ( And The Law Won)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0sI6eFarFE Thank you very much, and good night! |
Off the top of my head....some of the better 3-minutes of power pop (sometimes you just catch lightning in a bottle): "There She Goes" - The La’s; "Train in Vain" - The Clash; "Lazy Eye" - Silver Sun Pickups; "What I Like About You" - The Romantics; "Praise You" - Fatboy Slim; "Save It For Later" - The English Beat; "Is It Any Wonder?" - Keane |
Motown was the epitome of great pop songs. Especially pop songs with amazing intros. Two that come to mind are ‘Love Child’ by the Supremes and ‘Tears of a Clown’ By Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. I think a great pop song has a certain balls-to-the-wall feel. The Crystals ‘Then He Kissed Me,’ Eric Carmen ‘Make Me Lose Control,’ Mr. Big ‘To Be With You.’ Crank up the volume and sing along. Sure, a lot of pop songs are not ‘audiophile’ recordings. But played on a good system, they sure sound great! |
