perfect perfect perfect. I grew up with them and still am not bored with this album. Bongos, dude!
Aim and Ignite - fun.
What you get when you have a fantastic vocalist and songwriter pair up with an indie multi-instrumentalist god. Undeniably catchy.
Origin of Symmetry - Muse
Best album by one of my favorite pop bands? To quote one of their song titles, Yes Please

Yes! Excellent choices. I too grew up with Guster, though I used to shun their earlier work because it sounded less polished, I've really grown to love it.

You know, I really do think I prefer Hunky Dory to Ziggy Stardust.

You're not the only one. Ziggy's a pretty good album, but nowhere near one of my favourite Bowie efforts.

Like others have said, I consider pop as something (generally) happy, radio friendly and more than anything, catchy as hell.

Great as they are, neither Kraftwerk or Bowie's Low are any of those things, IMO.

Here's mine:

1.) Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys
2.) Please Please Me, The Beatles (here as more of a pop blueprint than anything)
3.) Arrival, ABBA
4.) In Color, Cheap Trick
5.) East Side Story, Squeeze

Honorable mention:
Nick Lowe, Jesus of Cool
Gin Blossoms, New Miserable Experience
Raspberries, Raspberries
Sloan, One Cord To Another
Big Star, #1 Record/Radio City
The Cardigans, Life
Shoes, Shoes Best
Graham Parker, Squeezing Out Sparks
Elvis Costello, Armed Forces
The Knack, Get The Knack
Utopia Parkway, Fountains of Wayne
