Lady Gaga? She'd get voted off way too quickly. Plus, she's horrible. SHe has a good singing voice, but most of the time she's not even singing. I abhor Bad Romance. Why not replace it with... Black Cherry by Goldfrapp?

Would it be an idea (or too much trouble) to maybe throw in decade-specific cats? Like, I don't know, 80s Synthpop, 90s synthpop etc? No? Carry on then, I'll be over here listening to LDR...:dj:

I think that Gaga album is pretty fantastic personally, and one that surely commands a place on the list due to her magnitude? And I did consider Goldfrapp, but I chucked in a few personal favourites instead. Happy to negotiate a trade.

I wouldn't mind that idea actually TH. They are almost different genres when you think about it, even if some albums released in different decades will sound similar.

I'll update the OP tomorrow when I get back to my computer.

If we're keeping off perfectly good trash pop then I'm out. And "Bad Romance" is one of the greatest pop songs of all time.

I tried making a trash pop list, but I'd rather put deserving albums in their more aligned genre. Dance-Pop, for example, is likely to include some trashy goodness.

JGuy Grungeman 01-20-2016 10:24 AM

Dance Pop should at least have Emotion by Carly Rae Jespen.

Goofle 01-20-2016 10:30 AM

Dance-Pop will be the toughest to narrow down for sure. My two favourite pop albums would come under that category (unless I squeeze Kitty in somewhere else).

Alright, we're gonna have to have a talk about Madonna. I was just trying a dance pop list and realized that many of her classic albums are kind of hard to pigeon hole. I was about to put down Ray of Light, then I remembered what it actually sounded like, and stopped. Then out of curiosity I looked at the genre classifications on RYM and got: "Pop, Downtempo , Trip Hop, Electronic, Vocal Trance, Ambient Pop".

The **** am I supposed to do with that? Not to mention other oddballs like Erotica and American Dream.

JGuy Grungeman 01-20-2016 12:50 PM

I'll take a crack at it.

1. Madonna 0 Ray of Light
2. Michael Jackson - Bad
3. Pet Shop Boys - Introspective
4. Janet Jackson - Control
5. Carly Rae Jespen - Emotion

Well, I have half a list.

I think something could be replaced with Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor.
