Blur were awesome.
Pavement's Silence Kit half-stole a melody from a Buddy Holly song, and this isn't their only nod to the notions of 'a melody' or 'a singable chorus'. The same goes for most things. It really doesn't matter what I think, really it doesn't. Only insofar as I'm right does it matter, but perhaps you'll never realise this.
Simple maths, ok?
Right.
What makes a pop song? Words. Melodies. Choruses. Middle-8s. Verses. Bits you want to sing along to. Do, I ask, most rock songs, of the majority of stripes, not possess at least one of these things, if not all?
