Aqua - YES, I DID enjoy Barbie Girl and their other cartoon-erotic hits to a certain degree, but I was only seven! what did I know? and Lene Nystrøm was hot
Backstreet Boys - like all other boys my age, I wanted to be Nick Carter. Backstreet's Back back then was to me like Take the Time is to me today.
The list could go on... but these painful memories are making me truly sad. I think I'll go cry in a corner for a while.
Luckily, I started listening to my brother's Metallica records in '97 or something like that. From there, it was all uphill :) |
Same for me, but I degraded into rap first, and called Led Zeppelin stupid    . Then I listened to what my brother did and listened to what ever he listened to. Then he got a Rush cd and didn't like it. It went uphill from their for me. So I don't listen to pop anymore. Unless you count Simon and Garfunkel and The Beatles as pop.

:edit: and yeah, I have to admit that some pop-tunes are simply too catchy some times... if I find myself watching music videos on MTV for more than 1 minute with the reason being anything else but half-naked chicks appealing to my primal mating instincts, I usually slap my self in the face.

It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is awesome album. And that's it (I suppose we don't talk about The Police in this thread)

I like some 80's pop, it's so "cheesy" that it's good. I don't listen to the radio so I don't get exposed to any current music other than what I choose to listen to.

Pop is an insult to the art of music. Not everyone can agree on one sound. Everyone has to be more honest with themselves.

Since you're mainly referring to "factory-made music", the answer is no.

When I was growing up those bands weren't referred to as pop,those bands were New Wave.

I'm a big fan of Britney's "Oops I did it again", but only when it's played by Finnish metal band Children of Bodom.

What do you mean by "stuff like that"?!? Madonna and Michael Jackson are light years away from britney & mariah. I can listen to some earliers Madonna's & Jackson's works. I'm a fan of 80's pop: Eurythmics, Duran Duran, A-Ha and Roxette and similar good ol' crap.
The one thing that I can't stand is random pile of molecules called Celine Dion. She's the proof that God doesn't exist
You're dying to find some Britney fans here, aren't you?

Off course I am!!! There must be somebody here that likes sh*tty pop.... Off course I agree, who wouldn't start tapping their feet with Jackson's Billy Jean?
Pop music is factory-made music, an as such, perfectly-crafted-for-its-purposes music.... at least good pop music (which is kind of a contradiction of terms)....
So, where are you, MrS K-fed fans? Reveal yourself....

I was never able to understand Michael Jackson's success...The guy doesn't have a mediocre voice, it's simply bad, his music has no sense is pure choruus - verse - chorus stuff, not the slightest variation.
I believe that MTV made their job, people saw well produced videos and assumed he could sing, for God0's sake, there was a video about how Thriller was fimed!!!!!!
