for my money nothing's better than sixties pop.

Tay Zonday- Chocolate Rain

i'll say it again: little wings (definitely weirdo, but perfect pop to my ears)

Not what you're after I don't think. But good pop:

syzygys
plus tech squeezebox

oh oh oh BLONDIE!!!
you might like beat happening also.

and if you want some REALLY good pop...

I like beat happening, they are amazing. What Blondie record should I get first?

parallell lines or eat to the beat

Thanks.

Good Pop? Check New Pornographers or CSS

Rihanna
Calvin Harris

There, I said it...

No-one's going to take me seriously here, but Girls Aloud aren't just good pop, they're brilliant. Try their best of, The Sound of Girls Aloud.

If you want something a bit more credible, try The Darling Buds' Pop Said or The Primitives' Lovely or Buzz Buzz Buzz.

The Dandy Warhols
INXS
Cocteau Twins

T'Pau - Heart And Soul

ha that last one is from the jeans commercial!

The more overblown pop is, the better. T' Pau's 'China In Your Hands' is also a good tune. Couples should argue while listening to that, and standing close to another human being that you'd rather push off a cliff would be more bearable.

DEVO!

I would not classify them as pop at all.

Xiu Xiu, It's very poppy in my opinion.

That isn't pop either, it's indie.
