I dunno - come toghter and here comes the sun are pretty good pop songs. Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da is annoyingly catchy enough, even if it sounds like a 3 year old is playing the piano...

I wasn't really meaning that all post '67 was poor, I actually prefer all of their later stuff but I find it much less poppy (which is why I prefer it).

so, either you meant "not arguably"

or, seeing as my statement agrees with yours, you're wrong too

Agreed, the early stuff was definitely written for pop radio.

I guess that's what comes of learning a fourth chord...

Stupid American Pig · Post by **Stupid American Pig** » Wed Feb 16, 2005 2:31 pm

you mean you can use 4 chords in a song? I have trouble with 2

hehe, one is plenty for me. I guess that's why I'm not The Beatles. Well that, and there's only one of me, I'm nowhere near talented enough and it's the wrong century...

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Vince Clarke - until now, of course:

Just Can't Get Enough - Depeche Mode
Don't Go - Yazoo
Sometimes - Erasure

Pure pop to dance to. Simple melodies, catchy riffs and real foot stompers.

The 'perfect' pop single
