What's the greatest moment in POP history?
 

For me personally I thought it was when Michael Jackson joined Brittany Spears on stage! That was like, WOAH!:love:

Berlin's entire career.

I'm badly tempted to just say The Smiths full-stop. I won't though...
Something like The Beatles starting to take drugs or the production of Phil Spector. And Bowie's and Madonna's habit of changing their image a lot. All brilliant.

Haha. I'd say when Bob Dylan introduced weed to them their first time in America.

I'm taking this opportunity to bump this thread...http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...ry-thread.html

"1 - 2 - 3 - 4 !
Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another
When I saw her standin' there."

...and just like that The Beatles made Pop back in 1964.

I'd say it was when the government created hippies in order to tame the formerly great genre of rock'n'roll by inverting it's values from "live dangerously" to a pathetic message of "peace and love". Well, that's pops greatest achievement anyways. Also when major labels realized they could repackage pop music, call it black metal, and sell satyricon records too all the underground kiddies who thought they were sticking to the man by buying it but were actually lining his pockets. Never thought they could do that to such an inherently anti-commercial seeming genre, but I guess pop mentallity can triumph over anything.

?
I'm pretty sure Nixon called the "counterculture" a threat to conservative America. Something about loose morals and such.

Yeah seriously, the peace and love movement was just as much about sex, drugs and protesting. Things the government doesn't really care for.

Plus we are talking about a peace & love movement that happened at a time when people were being drafted to fight in Vietnam.
