HemiBeers Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) Sweet The Knack Blondie The Cars The Beatles (pre Rubber Soul) This is about as Pop as I can tolerate. Guilty admission, Ballroom Blitz was the first 45 that I purchased. Edited February 9 by HemiBeers 1

HemiBeers Posted February 9 Posted February 9 No Elvis, Elton John, Billy Joel, Celine Dion, Micheal Jackson, Jackson 5 yet? Really not a hard classification to cover.

Union 5-3992 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Elton John Billy Joel Stevie Wonder Paul McCartney Prince I'd include David Bowie at the top of my list but he arguably has more experimental music than pop music if you take his whole discography. 2
Union 5-3992 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Genesis may be excluded, but Phil Collins is definitely pop. 2
Union 5-3992 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Aw shit I forgot about Weezer and the Foo Fighters. Those two are big contenders.

ozzy85 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Harder than I thought... I really want ELO on the list. The Monkees, War, The Four Seasons... My mind gets stuck in the 60s and 70s here for some reason. 1

I think Bowie can be included, he's essentially a pop artist.
treeduck Posted February 9 Author Posted February 9 My list is: The Beatles David Bowie The Rolling Stones Elton John The Police 1
