how was blink-182 not a pop phenomenon

lol oh snap. I don't think you should expect a sensible answer in here IMO. My question to Jessie J bashers was largely ignored, kind of insulting but w/e. I personally don't know, im not American so I haven't the slightest on cultural impact.

I actually think I'll be bidding adieu to this thread. Have fun girls!

 

[Koodo]

koodo i am fighting with you

how is blink-182 not a pop music phenomenon

To call Blink a phenomenon, I would have to call Xtincta, who has sold more albums and singles, a phenomenon.

I rest my case.

I actually think I'll be bidding adieu to this thread. Have fun girls!

 

[spindashing]

Remember when Demi was relevant.

it's good natured ribbing. jessie j is very relevant in terms of being a punching bag, every newish pop artist gets it. remember ke$ha circa tik tok? scratch that, ke$ha is still a punching bag

There just hasn't been any big news lately for us to talk about!

Although, Koodo, you might wanna update the OP just a bit. Biophilia got pushed back to...october 10, I believe.

 

[Koodo]

Updated OP with Kelly Clarkson's latest (under singles) and Biophilia's new release date!


Edit: LMAO, nevermind.

I'm jazzed about the Nicola Roberts album in a couple of weeks. The singles so far have been perfect little gumdrops.

"Lucky Day"
"Beat of My Drum"

 

[Koodo]

I, too, must concede this one to Crampeta and that other Kelly stan:

MKIA has been growing on me.

[SecretMoblin]

Lykke Li is essential.

Can't both be true?

I see this Nicola Roberts lady is trying to come for Kylie's britpop crown. I shall keep an eye on her!

Oh shi- she's the one who sings this song. I was wondering who it was!

Lahv it.

Nicola was in Girls Aloud originally, so she isn't totally new to this. I'd be kind of surprised if she manages to be much more than a minor flash-in-the-pan, but that's the disposable nature of pop and half the fun.

Girls Aloud should just reform; apparently it's something they're attempting for next year, so we'll see. The huge singles boxset they released was sfkjgadkjfg great.

Ah, I thought I recognized her from somewhere. Good to know.

Wow, has it seriously been 9 years? Amazing. Even if I don't like a lot of her stuff, major props for stayin in the game.

I'm cheating on GAF-Hop right now coming over to this side but this thread is great.

I love Lykke Li too but the second album was subpar compared to her first.
On the subject of Lykke, is anybody feeling Amanda Blank?
Her album still gets play from me, I wish she blew up

Something Bigger, Something Better is my goddamn JAM. I could shake my ass all night to this song. So good.

 

[Jayayess1190]

How dare Leona not be in the OP, Koodo! And Jojo is back! Can't wait, love her too.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Doesn't precisely fit the mold of what this thread is for, but I think some of you will appreciate the tunes anyway: Glass Candy's two new tracks are fucking unreal examples of sexy, danceable nu-disco grooves. The Italians Do It Better label always gets things right, but they're just knocking it outta the park with this (and the Mike Simonetti EP from a couple months back). Bump up your bass and spin the volume up to its max...

"Warm In the Winter"
"Beautiful Object"

Awwwww yeahhhhh!
It's a completely different vibe but Take It Easy with M.I.A is one of my favourite tracks by her too

If we're going to include Italo Disco under the PopGAF umbrella, then I'm expecting a great deal more of these excellent posts.

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Some of y'all who enjoy Britney's work with Bloodshy & Avant (Toxic, Piece of Me, Unusual You, How I Roll, etc.) may find Miike Snow interesting. The band sounds, well, nothing much like their work with Britney but it's still nice to hear a different sound to them.

I've made my Top 10. I'm bilingual so this list has both English and Spanish flawlessness:

(in no order)

1. Vogue
2. Azucar Amargo
3. Ciega, Sordomuda
4. ...Baby One More Time
5. I'm A Slave 4 U
6. Toxic
7. Gimme More
8. Sorry
9. Umbrella
10. Bad Romance


Your faves are so slain I'm actually crying for them.

 

[Oozer3993]

I'm gonna see her live on Sunday. I'm excited. I hear her set includes her Marvin's Room cover Can't Do Better which is AMAZING.

 

[Soulscribe]

Great thread. Though I never understood the Beyonce and Christina Aguilera hate. Beyonce's still the most well-rounded entertainer of the past 20 years, and Christina Aguilera has two of my favorite pop albums under her belt. "Back to Basics" and "Stripped" are friggin' STRONG records. I can understand not digging Christina Aguilera personally (on account of her being a hot mess) but she still "slays" or whatever. I dunno. Shut me down with a gif, Koodo.

I was gonna list my top 10 favorite pop albums but I'd be afraid of spending WAY too much time on it, lol. I'll just say these albums definitely make the cut:

- Ray of Light
- History
- Born This Way
- Femme Fatale
- I Am... Sasha Fierce
- Back to Basics
- Confessions on a Dance Floor
- The Fame Monster

Two Madonna songs, so that makes me a happy boy.

I'm actually kind of hesitant to post mine because they're mostly so old, haha!

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Always tough narrowing this shit down, especially since I'm always changing my mind about these things. I give it a week before the whole list is rearranged

1. Kelly Clarkson- Sober
2. Britney Spears- Toxic
3. Kelly Clarkson- Since U Been Gone
4. Butch Walker feat. Pink- Here Comes the...
5. M.I.A.- Bamboo Banga
6. Semisonic- Closing Time
7. Britney Spears- I'm a Slave 4 U
8. Lady GaGa- Bad Romance
9. Florence + the Machine- Cosmic Love
10. John Mayer- Why Georgia

 

[Sai-kun]

oh shit, I said I would do this, didn't I. Okay, I'll actually do it tonight.

5. Cyndi Lauper, "When You Were Mine"
6. Mariah Carey, "Always Be My Baby"
7. Robin S, "Show Me Love"
8. Cher, "I Found Someone"
9. M.I.A., "Paper Planes" (remix)
10. Annie, "Songs Remind Me of You"

 

[SecretMoblin]

Don't worry, Cosmic -- several of mine are old, too.

I decided I didn't have the ability to sift through everything I've ever heard and make a list, so I confined it to a top-10 list of pop records (vinyl records) that I actually own. Lots of my faves are left out, but that can't be helped. That also means that most of this list is 80s jams. Maybe I'll make a mix at some point. It is how I put food on the table, after all. I'm just too lazy right now.
Anways, the list in no particular order:

1. Prince - When Doves Cry
Probably the best pop song ever written or recorded. Probably. Nah, definitely.

2. New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
Love New Order, love this song, love all of their output. It still works as a catchy, danceable pop song.

3. Cyndi Lauper - True Colors
This song was number one in the country on the day I was born. Thankfully it became number one in time to dethrone that bitch Janet and her abortion of a song "When I Think of You".

4. Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy
A pop song with feeling.

5. Kate Bush - Running Up that Hill
In my dreams, she's performing this on an ice rink while performing tricks.

6. TLC - Creep
If Rihanna is pop, then TLC is pop, and Creep was their ultimate Jam. Yes, even more than Waterfalls.

7. Björk - Hyper-ballad
All the YouTube videos with the official music video are crappy, so here's a great live performance on Jools Holland. The Queen.

8. Inner City - Good Life
One of the inventors of Detroit Techno with one of his best pop hits. And the video is genius.

9. The Human League - Sound of the Crowd
The most underrated pop act of the 80s, The Human League (or maybe ABC?).

10. They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng
I've seen them live 18 times, and I considered leaving them out of this thread since they do lots of different kinds of music, but this was a pop hit for them.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

*highfive*

That's my workout song

Yes! That bass pumps me up more than anything.

3. Cyndi Lauper - True Colors
This song was number one in the country on the day I was born. Thankfully it became number one in time to dethrone that bitch Janet and her abortion of a song "When I Think of You".

Lmao.

This classic was number 1 when I was born.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

I was totally on the fence about including Kate Bush and ultimately decided against it because while she's one of my absolute favorites, I don't generally associate her with "pop music" for some reason. I probably couldn't have settled on a single track anyway!

Big ups for the Human League, too. I've always liked their radio singles, and gained an even greater appreciation for them after picking up some LPs over the summer.

edit: Heh, my birthday had "Hot Child in the City" as #1.
