Perfect Pop Songs

What great suggestions so far.

Bridge Over Troubled Water.  Paul Simon could have several other entries (including Red Rubber Ball, recorded by the Cyrkle, mentioned earlier).  Alternate, America.

25 or 6 to 4, Chicago.  They could have a half dozen here, too.  Alternate, Saturday in the Park.

Fire and Rain, James Taylor.  Alternate, Country Road.

Taxi, Harry Chapin.  Alternate, Mr. Tanner.

Angry Eyes (album version), Loggins and Messina...alternate, Till the Ends Meet.
Spinnin' Wheel, B,S&T.  Alternate, You've Made Me So Very Happy.


Odorono, the Who...the definition of pop!

"Lonely Boy" Andrew Gold
"Just One Look" Linda Ronstadt
"The Power of Gold" Dan Fogelberg/Tim Weinberg

Pre disco BeeGees released some pretty iconic pop songs, any of which would fall into the category of perfect pop:

To Love Somebody
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
Lonely Days

Other of my fav 60s/ 70s pop songs that get close to perfect pop:
Diamond Girl - Seals and Croft
Sundown - Gordon Lightfoot
One - Nilsson
Living without You - Nilsson
Rock On - David Essex

And who could leave out:

Brandy (You’re a fine girl) - Looking Glass

Massachusetts was Robin's peak. Wish they wrote more songs for him.

Sundown -- great song, great lyrics.

@davehg  - I was just listening to "Nilsson Schmilsson" and was going to post the same. So here it is......
