Stop being a dick. You don't think Thriller, Billie Jean & Beat It are pop classics?

I'm not being a "dick" I'm trying to get the bottom of how you personally define something as "pop," for some reason you seem reluctant to answer.

Britney Spears, Kylie, Take That, Girls Aloud, One Direction, Rihanna, Eminem, Robbie Williams, Snow Patrol etc are all pop. No one can define pop exactly, but if you weren't being such a dick you'd know.

a Swingin' affair by Frank SInatra

Not a big pop fan, but "Move Your Skin" from 1990 by And Why Not is brilliant.

the hypocrisy in this post when you read back your previous posts to me on this thread is hilarious.

but fair enough.

How about Never Home by Freedy Johnston. Melodic pop record.

Does that include Greatest Hits or Best of albums?

You're just making stuff up now. I know you're dying to tell me about Kylie's best album.

Well then its difficult because most albums are a mixture of pop rock R&b, i dont think there is a pure all pop album is there? certainly not a great one. Depends how you define pop i always thought it originally meant popular music, which could mean almost anything.

I wish I hadn't started this thread. Everyone is getting hung up on the word "pop".

Well it is pretty important Nat.

"Sheet Music" by 10cc

Thriller or Bad.

I would have said a 10cc album either sheet music or The original soundtrack or How Dare you,but they are classed as an art rock band so that's not pop is it? Sounds like pop but it does fuckin rock ie Rubber Bullets. I have those albums. One night in Paris is my favourite track ,fuck Bohemian Rapsody. I can't find an all pop album ,closest would be ABBA I guess. My favourite if it is so called pop would be 200km in the wrong lane by t.A.T.u ,bought it in Florida about 2002 ish much to the disgust of my kids and wife. Did things for me big time.

Pop = popular culture

i.e. relevant for a certain period in time such as 80's 90's or even on a shorter, or longer, timeframe.

Neil Diamond's Hot August Night from the early seventies.

I don't like Pop music at all, however if it was "Pop" back then I would say Rio by Duran Duran. All the WRAFS would be bopping to any of there stuff back in the day.

Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys or Cruisin' With Ruben and the Jets by Ruben and the Jets
