What is your favourite pop album of all time?

In my opinion it's Neneh Cherry's "Raw Like Sushi" but I am prepared to be proven wrong.

Let me have your answers, if I deem it a pop album I will give it a listen and give feedback.

One of my favourite albums is becoming X by the Sneaker Pimps, one of the most underrated albums of the 90's. Not sure i'd call it pop, maybe.

I enjoyed L.A.M.B by Gwen Steffani when it came out. Bit of a guilty pleasure.

Sneaker Pimps are not pop.

I have listened to LAMB and while it has some decent tracks I will not enter it into the Bolton Nuts top 5.

I think Liz Phairs Exile in Guyville would be hard to beat.

It is Pop. It's indie pop.

If Nenah Cherry is pop that opens up a very broad definition of it.

Wikipedia lists it as alternative rock music so you will have to think again. Do you know what pop music is?

Have you listened to it? It's about as poppy as it gets.

Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of "popular") is a genre of popular music which originated in its modern form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll.[1] The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, even though the former is a description of music which is popular (and can include any style), whilst the latter is a specific genre containing qualities of mass appeal.[1]

As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country;[1] nonetheless, there are core elements which define pop. Such include generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks.[1]

so melodic tunes and catchy hooks. Sounds pretty subjective to me.

oh and that gogos album is "beauty and the beat" sorry.

well you'll have to define what you personally mean as pop so people can just name albums within your narrow view of "pop" music.

Do you just mean Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and One Direction?

Wikipedia lists "raw like sushi" as R&B, Hip Hop, Pop. So obviously some people disagree with you.

Yes but surely the fact that it's labelled as three very specific genres shows how subjective the topic of "genre" is.

Like Michael Jackson is "the king of pop" but many would argue he was an R&B artist or even funk.

Is this a pop record - if so nearly 40 years old - Christ doesn't time fly!

Ok, point taken. But it's still my thread. Michael Jackson is definitely pop.

Many would argue that Michael Jackson was a dodgy bugger.
