Wow, I guess Ringo Starr CAN get even uglier.

Oh wait, it's The Pogues guy, never mind.

Bill Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins for sure.
And jared leto (if he counts) of 30 Seconds to mars

someone gave me a copy of a song and the band is 'simple plan'

may i ask what genre do they fall?

Pop.

James Dean Bradfield and Billy Corgan.

Freddie Mercury all the way for me.

Pop is not really a genre, it's a term that can be applied to any genre, any band thats mainstream, popular or that makes what is often described as "catchy" music.

The Smiths, Nirvana, Brian Eno, *NSYNC, The Beatles, Pixies, Van Halen, The Residents, Sonic Youth, Bjork, My Bloody Valentine, ABBA, Roxy Music, Queen, Britney Spears, The Mothers Of Invention, Hillary Duff, Radiohead, Talking Heads, Styx, Can, David Bowie, The Ramones, Genesis, Paris Hilton, Built To Spill, Michael Jackson, Journey, Blink 182, The Melvins, Pink Floyd, The Cure, The Kinks, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beach Boys, Hanson, Simon & Garfunkel, Cyndi Lauper, Primal Scream, Flaming Lips, The Osmonds, Devo, The Moody Blues, The Sex Pistols, ELO and Stevie Wonder have all been called pop at some point in their careers, it's really the most subjective musical term known to man.
