Top 10 pure perfect pop songs

[Kenny]

OK, I happily admit to showing my age by holding to a definition of pop that has aesthetic/generic qualifications that go way beyond the merely popular. Jangly guitars are almost always part of the picture for me (but not always):

1. Lovin' Spoonful - Do You Believe In Magic? Yes!

2. Dwight Twilley Band - Looking For The Magic. Always!

3. The Raspberries - Overnight Sensation.

4. Cheap Trick - Surrender.

5. Bobby Fuller Four - Never To Be Forgotten.

6. Katrina And The Waves - Walking On Sunshine.

7. Big Star - September Gurls.

8. The Church - Unguarded Moment.

9. The Plimsoulls - A Million Miles Away

10. Bob Seger - Brave Strangers. Same lyrical sentiments as Night Moves but a cooler, rockier tune.

geez pop is such an age determined thing, aint it? I hardly know any of those, kenny, although I have to agree with Walking on Sunshine, to which i am forced to add Love Is In The Air (John Paul Young) sorry no jangly guitars but one of the finest arrangements outside of Phil Spector

That's OK - I go back as far Bing Crosby, too, so no need to feel like an old geezer, happy!

Never been a Spector fan - EXCEPT for the immortal Black Pearl by Sonny Charles & The Checkmates, Ltd.
