Pop Music Discussion Thread

[Keep It Real, Yo]

Defined as music that makes the top 40, Billboard 100, or is selling well on iTunes.

Two new ones I'm diggin:

"Stereo Love" by Edward Maya
"We Speak No Americano" Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup

Both got a good grove, manage to bring the Euro sound yet still have general appeal with sexy undergrooves.

Not sure how this thread will go, but I'm sure we'll get some good Patrick Bateman posts.

I like Lady Gaga. And Katy Pery Perry.

Those are new? My kid put them on my ipod a month ago :). We no speak americano is getting old already. Stereo love is still good though, love the accordian.

I think Katy went beyond what she can sing on "Firework"

She does on other songs too, but she really went beyond what she should on Firework

Never heard that song. It sounds amazing.

I didn't listen to pop music for a long time but since I now have young kids I have no choice. I've figured out that pop music is aimed at 8-year-olds, more or less. Not that some of it isn't catchy or listenable, but basically it has a shelf life of about four months and then no one will ever listen to it again. The station my kids listen to has a rotation of about two hours -- we have literally driven to a restaurant and heard the same song on the trip home after dinner. I have probably heard Katy Perry's "California Girls" something like 500-600 times since August.

For much of pop you are correct.

It's still a cryin' shame that "Lost In Your Eyes" by Debbie Gibson outcharted "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground.

There are at least 10,000 other decent examples.

Pop Goes the World reached #20 and is the reason why Men Without Hats is not a one-hit wonder. They're one of those pseudo-one-hit wonders, since no one remembers their other hit.

Fave song in the iTunes top 10: Bottoms Up

Don't know if it has been technically released yet, but Jeremih & 50 Cent "Down on Me". Just don't watch the YouTube video with the little kid (or more likely, I'm guessing, some kind of dwarf).

Top Songs of 2010

1. Tik Tok - Ke$ha
2. Need you now - Lady Antebellum
3. Hey Soul Sister - Train
4. California Girls - Katy Perry
5. OMG - Usher

I was a bit surprised about #2 and #3, I suppose they never charted very high but they were on the charts forever. Seemed like "Hey Soul Sister" was played all year long.

I don't know I've heard any of those other than #2 since my wife listens to the country station.

[Werewolf]

I don't listen to the Top 40 station much, but I know I heard them play those five songs constantly.

Favorite Pop-ish song right now:

F**k You by Cee-Lo

[ThatGuy]

You guys are so close to having good taste..

Lately I've liked Lady Gaga and Katy Pery. I'm really surprised by this, as I usually don't like female singers too much. I can't believe Train made it on the top 5. That song absolutely sucks. They were much better 10 years again, and even then I wasn't a huge fan.

I hate this song. "Take a bullet through my brain for ya?" Come on.

I watched the Dick Clark New Year's show. What a sorry collection of frivolous pop acts that was. Mike Posner, Far East Movement, something called La Roux which reminded me of that song "You Turn Me Right Round" (like we need a current version of that). Avril Lavigne performed too, looking like a seasoned performer by comparison.

When my kids have pop music on I find the Perry and Gaga songs more tolerable than the rest. Rihanna is okay. Pink sucks, no?

[Keep It Real, Yo]

I hate Pink aswell. She's like alanis morrissette on anti-depressants. Who wants that?

btw, early 1990s were absolutely awful for music, IMO

1991 Year End Top 10

02. I Wanna Sex You Up » Color Me Badd
03. Gonna Make You Sweat » C+C Music Factory
04. Rush Rush » Paula Abdul

06. Unbelievable » EMF
07. More Than Words » Extreme
08. I Like The Way (The Kissing Game) » Hi-Five
09. The First Time » Surface
10. Baby, Baby » Amy Grant

[ActuaryGuy23]

Hey KIRY, where are you getting those lists? While 1991 isn't likely to make my iPod, I think I might find some songs of my youth I had forgotten in other years.

Ditto for "More Than Words." I'm surprised Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" didn't crack the top 10 -- it got huge play that year.

Edit -- oh, it's "Year End Top 10" not Top 10 of 1991.

Actually, it was "end of year top 10" but billboard has tweaked their formula over the years.

Two things that hurt Nirvana: there were a lot of adult contemporary stations back then, there were very few alt rock stations. Many mainstream rock stations didn't play Nirvana. Also, the singles chart formula depends a lot on single sales, and a lot of people bought the album over the single.

[ActuaryGuy23]

Has it really been 20 years since Nirvana? God I'm getting old.

I can tell you that if MTV did a similar list, it would be a runaway #1 on the video "Year End Top 10". They showed that video on a loop it seemed.

[Keep It Real, Yo]

When I was a sensitive young fella I was so pissed that Mariah Carey kept Timmy T out of the #1 spot on Casey's Top 40 for FOUR STRAIGHT WEEKS!! Poor Timmy T was #2 for four weeks. He couldn't find a record label, and instead drove all over Cali selling records out of the back of his car until he caught a break. A break stopped by young Mariah.

They should have had Taylor Swift instead. For some reason she was the first family friendly pop artist that came to my head when I thought of an alternative. She is much less annoying and at least someone pretty to look at.

By george, I think you are right. That would've been the "money" choice. I wonder what the commercials at half time would've been. Half of my nephews are in love with her (I have a LOT of nephews, it's a good sample) and all my nieces are constantly singing her stuff.

[Keep It Real, Yo]

I completely agree, that is their worst song to date. I feel like each one of their singles just keeps getting worse and worse. I didn't mind them at first but they keep getting more and more annoying with each new song.

[Keep It Real, Yo]

It seems to me that since Nipplegate the halftime performers are chosen by a roundtable boardroom style meeting, corporate style. It was probably that way before but I was young and was usually not couch bound during halftime.

Funny thing is when their new album came out a lot of critics said, "There's not anything on this album. 'Boom Boom Pow' will be the onlyl hit".

My fave song on the album charted not nearly as well as the others (Meet Me Halfway)

[ldancer911]

It certainly went way more conservative after that. I thought a lot of ones before that were ones that were at least pretty popular at the time (like n sync, boys to men and crap like that).

I really don't care for the black eyed peas but I am kind of glad to see the half time show coming back to the current generation of music.

[Patrick Bateman]

Undercover, (Rolling Stones Records/Virgin), 1983

Many people view this as a throwaway effort from the Stones, mailed in to pad their already considerable fortunes. Few people gave it a second listen, but they really should, because it's not all nihilistic eclecticism, it is also an accidentally-on-purpose refelection of the band at perhaps its darkest of hours!

Cindy - lie on your stomach and put your arms above your head. Tiffany - tie Cindy to the bedpost.

The album opens with the blistering title track. I don't care for the shots at Oliver Northism, but "Undercover" offers perhaps the most vicious riff delivered by Richard, with a hint of reverb. There is a visceral feeling to it, as if he is attempting to administer a dismembering, incapacitatiing or even fatal blow.

Then, track two, "She Was Hot", about a black nymphomaniac, is a real treat. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument in the ensemble playing of Richard, Watts, Wyman and Wood, while Jagger makes sure to up his expressiveness, delivering the chorus more forcefully as the song progresses. Also on the chorus, note how Richard goes beyond reverb into some rare instances of feedback, complimented by some understated yet effective keyboards. The album then settles into its own with "Tie You Up (The Pain of Love)". I think we all know the feeling - it can't be coat hangers and plyers all the time. You just got to spice it up with jumper cables and bic lighters now and then.

Really Tiffany? You think those restraints are going to hold Cindy? TIGHTEN THEM!!!

"Wanna Hold You", with lead vocals by Keith Richard, is widely viewed as a sweet reprieve from the overall bleakness of the album, but I don't see it that way. Richard is pleading for love, but you can tell he has no expectations of genuine acceptance and intimacy:

"Hope you find it funny
That I got no money
But if you stick with me
You're gonna get some love for free"

Well good luck with that.

The next track, "Feel on Baby" is a misguided attempt at some rasta man - I mean "mon" - groove. But then comes the main event - "Too Much Blood". It's an instantly danceable, jingle-jangling hommage to one of my favorite films of all time and a reminder that dark currents may run beneath the tranquil surface of the boy next door. Watts delivers a wicked beat as the guitars pick and nibble out a sublime melody.

You're out of frame Tiffany, move between Cindy's legs.

The afterglow of that thunderous track is captured the next one, "Pretty Beat UP". The album then winds down with "Too Tough", "All the Way Down", "Must Be Hell" - all appropriate in their mix of subtly abrasive tunes with bleak lyrics.

Rock 'n' roll.

Uhm, this isn't the new album. The Time (Dirty Bit) is off a new album.

I do agree about Meet Me Halfway, though. Much better song than I Gotta Feeling and Rock That Body. The stuff can be catchy for about ten seconds with the sampling of both melodies and verses, though.

Speaking of which, I find it strange that music seems to be unaffected by the ADD culture of today. People can't focus on a 30-minute show anymore, but somehow artists can recylce the same music over and over again and it will get air play for MONTHS. I'm not even sure BEP makes original songs anymore... they just sample 80's pop and rap in between the original lyrics.

I think it's cuz you don't have to "pay attention" to pop music. It's just there... repeating... lulling... Been to a club recently? DJs don't let a song go for more than 90 seconds, it seems.

Just saw Katy Perry's "E.T." video. She's half-woman, half-deer, is in love with a robot that turns into a gay, albino black man, and flashes scenes of animals killing or humping one another. Is this woman retarded or just on the Britney Spears boat to Crazy Island?

I wish you were here

"Back in Time" by Pitbull is like a perfect pop song, definitely Patrick Bateman Circa 2012 approved

every time I turn on the radio and switch to a music station in my car I want to commit murder, or least vandalism

I feel the same about sports talk

[FormLetter]

I always change it if I hear anything about sports on the radio.

Note to self: If in a car with FormLetter do not turn on the radio

[FormLetter]

You can turn it on, just change it if sports come on. And be willing to engage in vandalism if pop comes on.

I am pretty sure that your opinion has not changed

But I do hope that said nefarious activities are less intense than other activities on the FormLetter agenda
