Greatest pop single ever!

[Whitacre D_WI]

Of course we love all these classics, but if you HAD to pick JUST ONE, which would it be?

[Fenris]

1. Had to give it up for Kip

Can we say, "Greatest Band EVER?"

[Whitacre D_WI]

2. I know. Slaughter's pretty good, too, but I'm focusing on singles here.

And "Up All Night" really wasn't as good as some of their album tracks.

[Fenris]

3. Slaughter was more of an album rock band

You've got to listen to the work as a whole.

[Whitacre D_WI]

9. Exactly.

[jobycom]

4. Livin La Vida Loca!

Babie!

[benburch]

5. Oh. Mi. Gawd.

They all stink worse than a Republican's soul!

[amandae]

7. Agreed.

I feel almost dirty having responded.

:hi:

[reprehensor]

6. "Never Gonna Give You Up" - Our Lord Rick Astley.

Amen.

[Whitacre D_WI]

11. And he never will.

[Mr.Green93]

8. "Achey, Breaky Heart."

[Jim Sagle]

10. Try some really good pop artists like The Carpenters or Dionne Warwick.

"Do You Know the Way to San Jose"

[Hoosier Democrat]

12. "I Touch Myself" by the Divynals

Once you here that damn song, its stuck in your head forever. AARRGGHH!!!!

[eyesroll]

13. What, no "Senses Working Overtime?"

I'm going to have a medley of all of these songs, plus that one, stuck in my head for the rest of the day thankyouverymuch.

Edit: Oops.

[Whitacre D_WI]

14. "Senses" is a hack song by a hack band...

...who knew nothing of pop song structure.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

15. "Ice, Ice, Baby" by Vanilla Ice

Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Pop music sucks in general.

[Whitacre D_WI]

16. I thought about including Vanilla Ice.

But I went with Gerardo instead.

[AntiCoup2K4]

17. Paul McCartney's 9-11 cash in "Freedom"

It's hard to believe he's half of the greatest songwriting team of the 20th century with mindless crap like this...

This is my right
A right given by God
To live a free life
To live in freedom

Talkin' about freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

Anyone tries to take it away
They'll have to answer
'Cause this is my right

I'm talkin' about freedom
Talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

Everybody talkin' 'bout freedom
We're talkin' 'bout freedom
We will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
Talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
We will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

[Whitacre D_WI]

19. I do not legitimize post-Beatles McCartney, even in jest.

[RebelOne]

18. What? No Pina Colada song?

[Whitacre D_WI]

20. I am into Champagne!

[TahitiNut]

21. "Evergreen" (Barbra Streisand)

A collaboration of two immense pop musical talents: Paul Williams and Barbra, the song has an awesome range, fitting for Streisand's vocal talents.
