Guilty Pleasures: Throwaway Pop

Time to get off our "high horses" and to admit to cheap thrills in our collections...stuff that is instantly disposable...but never sounded so good...I vote the Sweet,the Babys,the Romantics,the Knack, and the Cars...hopefully I havent tarnished my impeccable music reputation(ha!)...add Cheap Trick....

props to Z as well...music is all about communication...and I do enjoy more elaborate styles from time to time... but the 3 minute (quality) pop song is an undervalued art form...it is music for non-musicians...and by passes the intellect in favor of the immediate visceral effect...wow..that sounds pretentious!

"Sugar Sugar" is still my girlfriend's all-time fav tune, with the possible exceptions on alternating days of The Monkees' "Valerie" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Well, at least she's admirably steadfast in her dedication to simplistic ear-candy, and I won't complain...
