It's sad that I know who these people are.
I'll give my two cents.
Pop has really changed over the course of time. it went from stuff people could listen to, relate to and enjoy to something that half ways sounds like a drowing rat that should be shot for it's misery.
I like Cyndie Lauper. Although I'm more of a Madonna person in terms of how people percieve me. Although my hair is currently green red and blue. . .
And Blondie ruled a far as I know.
I do not consider U2 pop. I consider them alternative rock.
Same thing with The Cure.
I am proud to say that I own a Depeche Mode and Wham album. And the Cars are unbelievable. 'My Best Friend's Girl' is probably my favorite song by them. Although I don't really consider them pop. But who knows. I wasn't around during their reign of the pop charts so I just classify them based on my interpretation their music.
And sice this is a pop thread and you guys have yet to mention this band I will.
New Kids on the Block is one of my favorite groups of all time. Marky Mark (Mark Wahlberg) was cute even then. And the music is so awesome. And funny.
Wow.
Memory Lane sure makes me feel a whole lot older.
