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?

Pure by the Lightning Seeds is a standout pop song. For sure stuff like Abba's Dancing Queen and The Ronettes Be My Baby are the very essence of pure pop music. Phil Spector after trying to top that went into a similar downwards spiral as Brian Wilson did with the failure of Smile, when the magnificent River Deep, Mountain High failed to attain the same success. Talking of Brian Wilson, surely this must be one of their very best attempts at pop? The most expensive single ever produced til then, even outdoing Phil, a sure fire worldwide hit and a US and UK No1 in 1966. Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys. https://youtu.be/mdt0SOqPJcg |
