I don't know if this has been done before, and our search function sucks.



1. Like a Virgin- Madonna. I have loved this song since I was a kid, I was around ten or so when I first heard this one.

2. Going to a Town- Rufus Wainwright

3. Gimme More- Britney Spears- I like this song more than any of her previous work.

4. Sexyback- Justin Timberlake- I don't care what you guys think, but this is an amazing song.

That is what I have for now, what about yours?

I liked that 'Hey Ya' thing that was out a few years ago. Can't remember who it was by though. Andre something?

Outkast

[Death & the Maiden]

These are just songs that were (sort of) hits
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Supergrass - Alright
The Smiths - This Charming Man
The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go
The Fall - C.R.E.E.P.

[atsonicpark]

My favorite of all time is DEFINITELY Motocompo's "Freerider".

[atsonicpark]

"Hey Ya" was by Andre 3000 by the way.

Also, if we're talking pop songs by the Fall... "15 Ways"!!!

[nicfit]

Are we talking "modern" pop stuff? Because there are just too many great pop songs from the 60s.

[✌➬]

No, pop songs in general.

The Killers - When You Where Young - one of the best songs of the decade
a lot of kylie minogue

Can somebody identify this song, I can only remember its video: some days pass, each day you see some hitlist on tv counting down, with some fragments of one particular video, its guys in silver playing in a field with miniature plane. The last day they are number one.
