First off, if the first words appearing in your head are ''Pop Sucks, Bieber is a -Explicit-'' roll off the thread right now.


Now, my more serious question is, does anyone know good pop songs to recommend? Just not Bieber. I'm fond of Iyaz, Jay Sean, Sean Kingston, Usher, Taio Cruz and the like. I even like Kesha, and I admit it unabashedly.

So yes back to the point, do you guys have any artists/songs to introduce?

Pop Sucks, Bieber is a -Explicit-.

I don't even know what makes pop pop anymore. Is it just that noise they play on the radio, or is there some actual defining factor which makes it pop?

Because I'd add toss some names your way if I knew.

Both if that's alright. My criteria for songs tossed my way is going to be very general and vague; I'm not going to be too fussy and claim to be a music elitist.

If it sounds right enough for me to boogie to it, bring it on!

In all honesty, I can't really help you (as I don't really like pop music). The only good pop song I know is Written in the Stars, which just about anyone knows. So yeah.

Panic! isn't pop! Nor is Eminem. Thanks all for the suggestions; a more specific question now. Do you know good pop female artists like Angela Ammons?

Yes they are. What would you say they are? I guess with eminem I got confused between pop and mainstream.

I don't consider U2 and Train to be 'Pop'. More Rock and Alternatie, respectively.

Going through my sister's iPod, because she thinks the garbage, er, music on the radio is good:

LMFAO
Usher
Justin Bieber
Far East Movement
Sean Kingston

And the rest are either not Pop, or you have up their.

Pop punk, some rock and baroque, but more of the rest than straight out pop. What I'm looking for is clear cut pop.

Black Keys


It'll be a sub-zero frosty icy snowy barren desolate frozen day in hell when I consider the Black Keys pop.

I don't know about good, but Katy Perry is pretty catchy. Bruno Mars is kay. B.O.B is excellent.

Pooh. You make it sound so non-mutually inclusive.
