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?

I imagine I do, but I'm not really sure -- I don't worry much about the categorization of music. It's too subjective, and some artists are all over the place, stylistically, from one album to another, or even within one album.
All of my "rock" stuff (including prog) is lumped (alphabetically by artist) together in a couple of big bookcases. I just think of it all as "rock/pop."
It's almost all good music, IMO, in any case.
BTW, my wife has some latter-day Madonna -- I certainly don't care for it, but I admire the woman's talent, intelligence and drive (nice buns, too).
MJ I wouldn't let in the door (not that she likes him)!
BTW, we have a pet fish we call " MJ," because he used to be black, but the goldfish food turned him orange!

I sometimes am forced to "hear" it but at those times, I choose not to "listen."

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!!!!!!

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 am an unabashed New Order, The Cure, Talking Heads, and own all their albums from each.
I rather listen to 80s synth pop than the drivel released recently.

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.

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

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

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.

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