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?

Late Sunday Night Offering (not power pop this time):

Linda Ronstadt - "Love is a Rose"
Thank you CD318, I have been enjoying this thread in spite of those wishing to debate what is and isn't Pop. 
Puh-leeze!  - I think you know it when you hear it. 
Kudos to all of you who submitted some less obvious, but still worthy buried treasures: Pretty Lady, Oooh, Oooh Child, Don't Touch Me There, Nothin' But A Heartache, and Walk Away Renee.  Here are a few of my faves:

Nice, Nice, Very Nice
     Ambrosia
Sweet Suzanne
     Buzzin' Cousins (Falling From Grace soundtrack)
Trampoline or I Went Electric (both perfect examples)
     Bill Lloyd
Slip Away
     Clarence Carter
Don't Be Cruel
     Elvis
Baby, Now That I Found You
     The Foundations
Save It For A Rainy Day
     The Jayhawks
Hold On, Hold On
     Neko Case
Radio Song
     R.E.M.
Love Is The Drug
     Roxy Music
Send Me On My Way
     Rusted Root
A Higher Place
     Tom Petty

Also, any song from 1967. 
Gotta run.  Time to clean some old records...

    
emrofsemanon38 posts01-12-2021 10:58pm"don't touch me there" by The Tubes, perfect mix of stereophonic sound and "wall of sound" production technique.
 

And let's not forget "I touch myself" by the Diviynls

But I would go with "Joy to the World", by 3 Dog Night, followed closely by Staying Alive which was disco .. and pop, and you know everyone likes it even if they won't admit it :-) ... and probably almost anything by Shania Twain even if labelled country.
