I'm just not so sure on how those countless bands from the mid-sixties and seventies came up with all those fantastic sounding songs. I would put any top 10 charts up against todays so called pop music hits!

don't like the pop music nowdays.

Pop music of today is absolutely terrible, in my opinion.

Pop is beautiful, like buttholes, baby carnivorous animals, rainbows, or a Mooyah's Burger with bacon, pepperjack cheese, grilled onions, with fries and a pumpkin-spice milkshake OH MY ****SATAN

There's great and then there's not so great pop out there today. It's not that great pop doesn't exist, it's just overshadowed by the bad pop that rules the charts.

POP were great in 90s :)

Old-fashioned
 

I am old-fashioned. In my opinion the last decade with good pop music was the 80s. I was born in 1954 - so I learned to love pop music in the 60s. I first came into contact with pop music, and fell in love with it, in 1963 - when I began to notice the Beatles and Beach Boys songs being played on the radio. As I recall it, my first very first records were a handfull of albums by The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Dave Clark Five and The Ventures.

Later on I became an omnivore in regard to pop and rock music. Today I own roughly 600 cds, most of them purchased during the last eight years from CD Universe and Amazon, plus roughly 2.500 songs purchased and downloaded from Itunes. I never download music illegally. I do not wish to rip off either the musical artists or the record companies.

Lastly - I feel that most of the pop music made today sucks.

80s were the best...

Nope - 60s were the best (I was there, so I know).

But I do like much of the 80s music of Madonna. My favorite album of all time is not from the 60s - "You Can Dance"!

is anyone taking any consideration of pop music outside of america

however stale it might be getting there, other country's take on pop music that isn't westernized in sound should be taken into account if talking about the whole genre in general

or else specify talking about strictly American pop
