Perfect Pop Songs


Those with the kind of music, lyrics, performance, arrangement and production that you could easily repeat all day.

How about starting with this one? Somewhat outside of her usual cannon and none the worse for it. Perhaps also a contender for the sexiest vocals ever?

Motown was the epitome of great pop songs. Especially pop songs with amazing intros. Two that come to mind are ‘Love Child’ by the Supremes and ‘Tears of a Clown’ By Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

I think a great pop song has a certain balls-to-the-wall feel. The Crystals ‘Then He Kissed Me,’ Eric Carmen ‘Make Me Lose Control,’ Mr. Big ‘To Be With You.’
Crank up the volume and sing along.

Sure, a lot of pop songs are not ‘audiophile’ recordings. But played on a good system, they sure sound great!
