Id guess most people would pick some early Beatles song like "She Loves You"


I like "Take On Me" and "Don't Forget About Me"

I can't really answer this question. There are so many great pop songs. This one is pretty perfect. Especially for a guy who grew up when and where I did. This could be my life when I was 13-17 years old.

I like the song for nostalgic reasons. I remember ABC using it as a promo in the 70’s back when I was a huge Happy Days & Welcome Back Kotter fan.

Is that really “pop” though? I tend to think of pop as sort of light and non-threatening music. Same question with the OP on Simple Minds.

WLS used to do a Top 100 of the year countdown to New Years on December 31st. Back in 1979 we had another family over with their kids to celebrate NYE, and everyone was listening to the countdown, and we all guessed what was #1. I was the only winner, my giant claim to fame, and connection to My Sharona....

little did I know how well that knowledge would pay off in 2020!!! I AM A GOLDEN COD. I, MEAN, GOD!

Yeah there’s no way to definitively answer it but that’s a real solid choice

I guess I kind of define it as catchy music that was real popular on the radio


Some other of my favorites

Bobby Brown: Every Little Step
The Clash: Train in Vain
The Hives: Hate To Say I Told You So

I'm not saying that it's not a great song on it's merits, but it was a radio (i.e. pop) song for it's time.

I should also note that Orleans has one of the most burrito album covers of all time (search Orleans album for a laugh).
