Perfect Pop Songs
Those with the kind of music, lyrics, performance, arrangement and production that you could easily repeat all day.
How about starting with this one? Somewhat outside of her usual cannon and none the worse for it. Perhaps also a contender for the sexiest vocals ever?

Pre disco BeeGees released some pretty iconic pop songs, any of which would fall into the category of perfect pop: To Love Somebody How Can You Mend a Broken Heart Lonely Days Other of my fav 60s/ 70s pop songs that get close to perfect pop: Diamond Girl - Seals and Croft Sundown - Gordon Lightfoot One - Nilsson Living without You - Nilsson Rock On - David Essex And who could leave out: Brandy (You’re a fine girl) - Looking Glass |
@davehg - I was just listening to "Nilsson Schmilsson" and was going to post the same. So here it is...... The 1973 Grammy award for Best Pop Vocal, Male...... Harry Nilsson - "Without You" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dnUv3DUP4E |
"To Love Somebody How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" As good as Bee Gees were, and good they were, these two songs have (to me) even better interpretations. Rod Stewart and To Love Somebody (with Booker T. and you will know it without me saying it). Al Green and How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. Not to go into vinyl/digital debate, but on the record is even more touching. Once my record develops clicks and pops it may become the ultimate version. |
