Perfect Pop Songs

This one is likely not well know because it was apparently a cover, recorded for a movie soundtrack. However, if you are a fan of Matthew Sweet, or Pop Rock in general, you should hear this one. For both myself, and my teenage son, this track in probably in our top 2-3 most played songs on Spotify for the last couple of years......

Matthew Sweet - "Wild"

@16f4  and All,

I was just kiddin' about going head-to-head. The last thing I want in this thread is a pi$$ing match about what's best.

Let's keep it fun for everyone.

@16f4 

General Public - Tenderness

Definitely a pop song. And pretty popular too, if I recall my mid-80's radio listening.

We should go head-to-head - American Bandstand Rate a Record style.

@cd318 - Thanks for starting the thread. I love great pop songs. But I don't like that version of Louie Louie, by Julie London. Nope, not at all. Destroyed all that was good about that song. I agree that Julie London has a great voice. Love her sultry style. Just not fitting for this song.

Try this one. The opposite of the Julie London selection you posted.

Them (Featuring Van Morrison) - "My Lonely Sad Eyes"
