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.

Janet Jackson's slip up on national super bowl tv. Half time show. Anyone remember that one? =P

this always puts a smile on my face

greatest moment in indie pop at least

That's my favourite song from Meat Is Murder and that video is hilarious!

^^^ one of mine favs too, i love playing it on bass

the bass is just great...which song is it by the way?
I'm kind of new with Morrissey and The Smiths
What can I say...?I'm from Cyprus

I can't see it, Youtube links don't work for me for some reason :(

who are you referring to? rock & roll had just been invented/popularized in the era of johnny cash and elvis (late 50's). i think the "live dangerously" lifestyle of rock & roll came after 1967... more like 1969 lez zeppelin comes out and then the 70's was characterized by what your describing.

biggest moment in pop music history, probably

1964 the beatles "meet the beatles"
or
1982 michael jackson's "thriller

The song is Barbarism Begins At Home it's on their second album Meat is Murder.
Here is the whole song Marr & Morrissey dance together on this one too except Marr doesn't take off his guitar.

OMG Kurt's so funny :rofl:

I thought Jarvis vs Michael Jackson at the Brit awards was pretty funny...

MySpaceTV Videos: Jarvis meets Michael Jackson by Avisador De Incendios

greatest interview

When Michael Jackson became King of Pop I suppose. :D

"Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatles!"

I just got Rick rolled.

Milli Vanilli

theres never been a good moment.

pop sucks.

period.

That's a pretty ignorant statement especially coming from a Slipknot fan who share more in common with most pop gimmicks than they do with metal bands.

25th Year of Thriller Album
 

I think the rebirth of MJ's Thiller album. It borugh back the history!

who cares about gimmicks?

its not about the gimmicks.

its about the music.

really music should be done with instruments not little techno sounds and beeps like pop

and before you say anything yes Slipknot does have a DJ
but they use guitars and real instruments so it doesn't matter.


pop just uses techno stuff.

and when they do use a guitar they completley murder it.

like you can't even hear the 2-3 chords they actually use because its drowned out by the singer.

This song would be great if it wasn't for all those techno sounds , beeps and fake instruments :laughing:

st.j you're a retard....

The Smiths on top of the pops

:laughing:

^^ i hate that stupid band so much....

My guess is that your maybe.......14 or 15?

hahahahaha

Yeah probably the release of Thriller.

Sunday, June 18, 1967. Monterey, California.

I would probably say, the darkest pop song ever?
