I look forward to the UKB bouldering film. A soundtrack of S-club, sugababes & hear'say & shouts of 'send it dude!' replaced by a discussion of the merits of different moisturisers

that'd be fucking funny

I'm happy to accept most things under the broad umbrella of pop, but as great as Little Fluffy Clouds is, it ain't no pop record.

Nice. I'd suggest Burn Baby Burn for the Ash choice, maybe.

And how the fuck did I forget Talking Heads? 

Naive Melody, Life During Wartime, Psycho Killer, Once in A Lifetime are all totally brilliant singles and there are many more.



Love it.

So 80's and so good.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Love Missile F1-11

[Ena]

I'm not going to list 60s and 70s stuff, just too much to chose from. But 80s on, how about Enola Gay, Justified (with Tammy), Brimful of Asha, and from the queen witch herself (or rather her canny associates) Hung Up. I faced the wrath of my cool kids by saying I liked Don't Stop Moving (not to be confused with Keep on Moving!), but sometimes you just have to make a stand. There's always a time for pop.

But Psycho Killer is one of the best songs ever, the OGWT performance is stunning. Is it pop though?

Doesn't sound as good as I remember it

Yes. Stretching the genre slightly but yes.

Can't remember if they've been mentioned already...
Chilli Peppers - Under The Bridge
Cockney Rebel - Come Up And See Me

And obviously Elton John - Candle In The Wind   :ironicsmirk:

[andy popp]

Good one Soaps, can't believe that's the first mention of Blondie on this thread, though I'd have gone for 'Picture This' (or in fact just about anything by them). I think 'Freakscene' by Dinosaur Jr is a pop song and should therefore go in.

[Jaspersharpe]

Does that mean I can have Pull My Strings by Dead Kennedy's? It' certainly pop-ish.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull_My_Strings

No I'm just being silly now as it wasn't even a fucking single. But it is great.

i'm mandy, fly me - 10cc

10cc of course. Rubber Bullets must be mentioned too.

And how about a bit of...........

[andy popp]

How about a bit of this , or this ?

[andy popp]

Sorry Soapy, missed that you'd suggested the first of those (great minds think alike) but its still worth a watch.
