| 5 Passable Mainstream Pop Acts
These aren't all necessarily good, but they're certainly better than the
other crap you hear on the radio. Allow the hate to commence. | | 5 | Lady Gaga
The fact that she actually has an art direction going on makes her stand out.
Doesn't mean her art direction is all that good, but she's still got more creativity in
her music videos than any other pop act. Judas is a great song too, and I really like
her as a person. | | 4 | Lupe Fiasco
I really like Lupe. He combines aspects of modern hip hop and classic (without
sounding super cheesy) and tends to get pretty political. He's not quite as popular
as the others on this list, but he's still gotten plenty of mainstream recognition.
Throw in some political lyrics, and you got a hit. | | 3 | Bruno Mars
He's got his share of terrible songs, but songs like "Runaway Baby" and "Locked Out
of Heaven" are pretty great and show off some aspects of older pop rock/classic
rock. "The Lazy Song" is also a fun little song that gave me a bit of a chuckle the
first time I heard it. On top of it all, he's got an amazing voice. | | 2 | Psy
Yeah yeah yeah, "Gangnam Style" has over stayed it's welcome, but have any of
you taken time to listen to his other music? I've always liked KPop more than
American pop, and PSY 5 is a solid album that's tons of fun to listen to and has
plenty of diversity. | | 1 | Eminem
I've always liked Eminem. He sometimes puts a bad taste in my mouth, but dammit,
he's really popular and raps about shit that matter a bit more than "muney dope
and dem hoes". His lyrics are either meaningful or funny and I'm kinda surprised he's
been so popular since he's a bit...different. | |

01.15.13 | agree with 1, everything else is blech | Trebor17
01.15.13 | no | YankeeDudel
01.15.13 | Oh Lupe what happened to thee | TheSmashBro
01.15.13 | I gave a few songs on his new album a little listen. Sounds like he got his old sound back. | tommygun
01.15.13 | gaga's tryhard 'art direction' rubbish has no impact on her actual music (which is terrible anyway) | sixdegrees
01.15.13 | 4 and 1 are/were good | TooLateToGoBack
01.15.13 | lack of Pink, Taylor Swift and Adele is interesting. | Trebor17
01.15.13 | Pink's music is awful but at least she seems like she cares | YankeeDudel
01.15.13 | TIL pink cares | TheSmashBro
01.15.13 | Oh yeah. Adele is great too. Hard to believe stuff like her's sold in today's market. | TheSmashBro
01.15.13 | Taylor Swift? You mean that girl who writes like a bitchy middle schooler? God no. | tommygun
01.15.13 | pink's music is p bad yeah
it's ok timberlake is back in 2013 to show em how pop is done | YankeeDudel
01.15.13 | whoa [2] | MUNGOLOID
01.15.13 | 1 & 4 are way past their prime. | ChopSuey
01.15.13 | If Taylor Swift wrote a new song she'd have to break up with another guy first. | zxlkho
01.15.13 | no, no, no, no, and no. | InfamousGrouse
01.15.13 | yeah the fame monster rules | VermicideReloadead
01.15.13 | 1 and 4 are good, 2 and 3 annoys despite of having quaity material. I fuckin hate number 5, her music is a pain in the ass. | Apollo
01.15.13 | Only one of these I actively hate is Bruno Mars. | Propose
01.15.13 | lady gaga is best on list sadly | Ire
01.15.13 | literally, today, i was talking to someone about how shitty lupe has gotten | VermicideReloadead
01.15.13 | lady gaga is best on list sadly
Don't try to be a dick but she is a really bad carbon copy of madonna which took some elements of the abysmal albums released by gwen stefani in her solo career. Eminem and Lupe are by far the 2 best acts here despite of their downfall. | DamnVanne
01.16.13 | All of these are passable except for Bruno Mars, who is a shit popsicle in a $400 hat | oltnabrick
03.27.13 | today's market |
