11.02.14 | Call them guilty pleasures or just crap. These are great. |
Insurrection
11.02.14 | i really really dislike 8 |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Like everyone. I think out of all their cheesy, pseudo-meaningful ballads it is by far the best. |
Pangea
11.02.14 | The most songs I know are great indeed. I'm not a fan of 18, though |
treeqt.
11.02.14 | listen to more pop music this is atrocious |
YakNips
11.02.14 | don't think i like any of these |
YakNips
11.02.14 | actually i like 6 and 9 nvm |
StallionMang
11.02.14 | 8 and 18 are terrible but list ain't too bad |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | Some of these aren't even the best songs on the album... |
dmp3131
11.02.14 | I don't consider a lot of this pop, especally 14. |
lz41
11.02.14 | Thnks Fr The Mmrs... guilty pleasure |
treeqt.
11.02.14 | ya 14 is definitely not a pop song xD |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | "guilty pleasure" |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | How is 14 not pop? |
ArsMoriendi
11.02.14 | 15 is brainwashing music.
Also, about a third of this is barely even pop. |
YakNips
11.02.14 | "How is 14 not pop?"
because pendulum is not a pop band and they do not play pop music |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | @Ars Depends on the definition |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | Depends how you define pop, I guess |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | ~because pendulum is not a pop band and they do not play pop music~
Have you listened to Immersion? Half of the songs on it are nothing but electronic pop. Not rock and by no means anything close to drum'n'bass. What else should one call tracks like Encoder, Witchcraft or Watercolour if not pop? |
YakNips
11.02.14 | lmao yeah it depends on the definition
because by definition, they are not a pop band |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Doesn't matter. A song isn't characterized by the music a band makes in general, but by its individual sound. So a band that "isn't a pop band" can still make a pop song. |
YakNips
11.02.14 | and no i have no idea why i would want to listen to immersion but if you want to know what watercolour should be called i suppose look here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watercolour_(song) |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Because Wikipedia is so good with genre tags... |
YakNips
11.02.14 | just saying you're the only person i've ever seen tag that song as "pop" so i have no reason to be persuaded |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | I think it's rather that I'm about the only person that ever said something about that song. Not like it's that popular. |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | Watercolour could certainly be poppier |
Sleaper
11.02.14 | charli xcx > all pop artists |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | Take That > |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Yeah, just imagine if Katy Perry would have done it. Kind of scary...
Except for 2, 3, 11, 13 & 18 probably everything here could be poppier I guess, that doesn't disqualify it as pop though. |
YakNips
11.02.14 | "Not like it's that popular."
it has 22 million views |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | ~it has 22 million views~
Yeah, but who really talks about music on YouTube. Everything you get there are things like "so awesome" and "damn that's crap". In over two years on Sputnik I haven't seen Immersion on any list or in any discussion and looking at the things some people discuss here that says something. |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | 2 should be Nobody's Home
3 should be Laura Palmer
13 should be Misery
19 should be Cigarettes In The Theatre |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Surprised no one said that he likes 17 |
treeqt.
11.02.14 | i like 17
happy now? |
YakNips
11.02.14 | lol i guess
only experience i have with that song/album/band anyways was back in like 7th grade me and my friend liked them but always referred to them as "drum and bass." since that's what... they're referred to as... idk |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | @Choccy 2, 3, 13 all legit choices, all in my top 4, not my favs. Cigarettes In The Theatre is pretty much the least interesting thing on TH though. |

11.02.14 | KrazyKris, your definition of pop is inaccurate... |
treeqt.
11.02.14 | -that one guy who has never listened to a pop album |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | Green, you think Nickelback aren't pop. Let's not start this again |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Nickelback is MEEEEETTTAAAAAALLLLL |
NordicMindset
11.02.14 | Nickelback are post-grunge, ugh not pop |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Just as much as Alanis and "Under My Skin"-Avril are post-grunge. |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | pop rock though?
c'mon |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | ^directed at me or Green??? |
thacoconut94
11.02.14 | Weezer's front covers make me die |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | You have to exclude Pinkerton an EWBAITE, those are great. Red album is embarrassing as hell though. |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | nah not you, kris |
Tunaboy45
11.02.14 | Wake up sheeple |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | Wake up from what? From pop music? |
DustyTill
11.02.14 | All of these sucks so much. |
treeqt.
11.02.14 | from thinking the recent acceptance of pop music around the internet is an invitation to share your god awful opinions on said |
ArsMoriendi
11.02.14 | http://tinyurl.com/m9xmgvm They're awake, now what? |
climactic
11.02.14 | 8 is so fucking bad |
ChoccyPhilly
11.02.14 | At least the term "guilty pleasure" is dying down a little |
scottpilgrim10
11.02.14 | thecoconut94 Pinkerton's cover is gorgeous
There are some enjoyable pop songs here |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | ~from thinking the recent acceptance of pop music around the internet is an invitation to share your god awful opinions on said~
Yeah, what has the world come to when people start talking about music on a music website. |
treeqt.
11.02.14 | apparently it has come to this so i'd kindly ask you to stop LAMO |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Thanks for asking kindly, I refuse though. |
Let
11.02.14 | 5 rules, 14 is cool but I though it was D&B. not a fan of anything else |
Let
11.02.14 | It's amazing what you find Face to Face |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | Their best track. So much better than that thing Get Lucky |
Let
11.02.14 | Yeah, wasn't that great. Not a fan of Pharrell either |
TedSchmosby
11.02.14 | right HERE it's CLEAR that i'm not getting better |
KrazyKris
11.02.14 | @Let
I'd say Williams is pretty good. It's just that Get Lucky sounded so damn boring and had one of the worst choruses ever. Always hated that lyrics. |
wtferrothorn
11.07.14 | 3 5 7 are faves from the list. 15 a guilty pleasure. I really enjoyed "It Girl" from Pharell's album though.
I would personally add "F**k You" by Cee-Lo Green. I know he's more a soul artist but hey, FOB isn't really
a pop act either. |
