I'd like to get into pop a little more. Not bubblegum pop, but more...intellectual pop, if that makes sense. Does anyone have some suggestions?

ProggyMan · 04-11-2008, 10:19 PM

Er, The Beatles? The Smiths, Patrick Wolf, Emily Haines.

Rod Stewart, if you're looking for classic pop. If you want some contemporary stuff, I suggest The Wallflowers, although they're more along the lines of pop-rock. Seeing as I don't listen to much pop, I can't help you out too much though.

Yeah, I'm familiar with Rod Stewart's older stuff. I'm mostly interested in newer bands.

Hello Saferide and Jens Lekman both make wonderfully lovely indie-pop

I would add Bell and Sebastian and Stars as well

His extremely different version of Forever Young is amazing.

I got into electronic stuff like Girl Talk and Dan Deacon. Also I started listening to Bright Eyes and Elliot Smith (1-5 threads mentions at least one of them) and I really (surprisingly) dig them both.

I've been brushing up on industrial, and its been quite eenjoyable... Godflesh is awesome.
