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?

This one is likely not well know because it was apparently a cover, recorded for a movie soundtrack. However, if you are a fan of Matthew Sweet, or Pop Rock in general, you should hear this one. For both myself, and my teenage son, this track in probably in our top 2-3 most played songs on Spotify for the last couple of years......

@ericsch ,

Wow, that is brilliant. Thanks!

I hadn't heard of Lorrie Morgan but she may well have posted the definitive version of this classic.

She must have ice in her veins to stay that cool in such company.

Talking of beautiful vocals here's Dianne and Annita from 1965 with my favourite version of  'A Groovy Kind of Love'

Carole King/Gerry Goffin: “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” is to my mind the greatest pop song ever written. (Her own version of it.) Genius lyrics and melody.
Still can’t get it out of my head.
Agreed @rvpiano, that song defines Pop. Carole and Gerry wrote a lot of fantastic songs, including the astounding "Halfway To Paradise", recorded in the 1980's by Nick Lowe, a great version.
