The Pop of Today Vs Pop Of Yesterday

On a serious note, I've gotten into pop music for the majority of my life. Carpenters, Elton, Bee Gee's, etc paved the way for Michael Jackson, Wham!, Spandau Ballet, The Bangle's, Madonna, etc., which paved the way for Toni Braxton, Brian Adams, Mariah Carey, etc. which paved the way for Brittany, Aguillera, Destiny's Child, and now we have Beyonce, Katie Perry, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Adele, etc. all of which make some pretty outstanding music.

I grew up as a true blue, died-in-the-wool Metal Head, and when I think back on the pop music I've been subjected to, I'd be lying to myself if I said it wasn't at least a little bit catchy, and that it doesn't conjure up internal images, and feelings. After all is said and done, that is what music is supposed to do.

I probably just destroyed any fragments of any kind of street cred I may or may not have had.
