[Heeplist] POP SONGS – 101 Tracks of Good Pop Songs

[Filip Björner]

All true. I have to admit this was arbitrary for several songs. But making this list was fun. I know you all likes melody, so I couldn't resist the temptation of making this list.

The next list, which is the last one, I believe is more to the core of what we all love.

Cheers!

Again great work, Filip!
I like to be inspired by aour lists.

But well! It's a tricky question what is Pop and what isn't Pop.

I would claim that at least the Yes- and Dire Strait-Songs on the list -
and "Keep on running" too - are less Pop than a couple of Heep songs -
"Come back to me", "Love or nothing", "Lomely Nights",  to name a few -
and even "Lady in Black".
And I don't think I would have chosen the great rocker "Blood red Roses"
and "Sometihing or nothing" as Heep Pop songs.
But don't get me wrong - I don't think Pop is any kind of negative a label!!

And shouldn't there be a few David Byron Songs on that list?

A blessed pentecoast

Norbert
