The Pop Thread

[Kvlt-Mart]

Since an unexpected trend with the new Public Forum is to launch dedicated genre threads, I figured I might as well open the floodgates here in case anyone else has a secret love for well made pop music but is too afraid to bring it up.

My top 3 pop albums are:

Paramore - Paramore (won album of the year for me in 2013)
Marianas Trench - Masterpiece Theatre (tasty vocal harmonies aplenty with a finale track that nicely covers the whole album preceding it)
The Beatles - Abbey Road (an eternal classic)

And I'll kick it off with an honourable mention for a personal favourite artist of mine who had a big impact on my first album, Lights.

Pop music is such a wide genre. Ofcause for me being the age i am, you cant get pass ABBA lol. Today i really enjoy listening to the likes of Lana del Rey,Lady Gaga,Amy winehouse (hardly pop), Adam Lambert. Adele and some other artist. Its not the genre i listen to most but good written pop music is good music.

I don't really listen to much that's "new" these days, but here's some older stuff that I absolutely love:

Tori Amos - 'Little Earthquakes' up through 'From the Choirgirl Hotel'
Sarah McLachlan - 'Fumbling Towards Ecstacy' and 'Surfacing'
Imogen Heap - 'Speak for Yourself'
The Beatles

Yeah, Tori Amos from Little Earthquakes 'till ummm.... Unrepentant Geraldines.

Grimes (earlier stuff)

Art Angels was last year's album of the year for me!

One of my favorite noise pop albums is Rollerskate Skinny's Horsedrawn Wishes.

I will follow this thread. Being a 80s kid I have a soft spot for new wave and pop. That's why Wild Nothing's Nocturne won't leave my rotation.

I have to confess, Tears for Fears still gets me. I think it's the nostalgia thing. My dad loved them and I would hear them all the time when I was a kid. When the intro music came up in Donnie Darko, I almost jumped out the seat in excitement at the cinema.

Heard this a couple of weeks ago, forgot about it and just came across it again. I guess it's more indie rock but it's sweet so whatever
