rockarollacola 01.17.21	I usually grab a Code Red Mtn. Dew, but I'd go with the original if you're a beginner. Orange Fanta is also a smart choice as well.

Cygnatti 01.17.21	11 doesn't belong here delete it
Cygnatti 01.17.21	@ledd, kim petras has like 7 or so singles that don't appear on any albums that are worth listening to. here's one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwoG9vNru18
ieatbabies795 01.17.21	Charli XCX - How I’m Feeling Now
ieatbabies795 01.17.21	Just realized you already rated that album
LeddSledd 01.17.21	Very nice track Cyg, shall check more of her @ieatbabies gave it a couple spins; her approach felt overly experimental and kinda grating. wasn't much my thing but I'll revisit it in the future
JohnnyoftheWell 01.17.21	wow I don't even get individual entries oof cold
Pangea 01.17.21	Tears for Fears - Songs from the big chair (80s pop goodness) Clarence Clarity - No Now (Glitch pop) Passion Pit - Gossamer (Super sugary indie pop) Lorde - Melodrama (top 40 pop that is quite artsy) Frank Ocean - Channel Orange (R&B i guess but it's still pretty pop i would say) seconding perfume genius
dedex 01.17.21	On top of all these sweet recs: Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen (80s sophisti-pop) Destroyer - Kaputt (2010s sophisti-pop) Robyn - Body Talk (electropop/dance-pop) The Jezabels - Prisoner (indie pop) Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising (baroque pop)
PopsicleBob 01.17.21	70% of the music you've been recommended is NOT pop music
JohnnyoftheWell 01.17.21	s o u n d t h e a l a r m but tbf ars and colton's recs' pop quotient is sus af
el_newg 01.17.21	Kimbra - Vows it's like jazzy pop with some great grooves. lots of vocal layering. make sure to hear the AU/NZ version instead of the US version as they butchered the track listing. her next two albums move gradually toward more straight forward pop, but they still keep some eccentricity in aspects. some other great tracks from her are Miracle, Madhouse, Sweet Relief, Everybody Knows. St. Vincent as recommended above is one of my favourite artists too, love all her albums a lot
RadioSuicide 01.17.21	ANIMA! - Grow Your Garden - very poppy/feelgood type shit with a heavy emphasis on synths and acoustic instruments. vox remind me of regina spektor, whom you should also check if you've never taken the time because she is the absolute best
alamo 01.17.21	tinashe - nightride kim petras - turn off the light
Mort. 01.17.21	Rina sawayama
Funeralopolis 01.17.21	Fka twigs

Maarja Nuut and Ruum - World Inverted Gia Margaret - Mia Gargaret Thomas Azier - Love, Disorderly Alice Boman - Dream On Alex Rex - Andromeda Ultraista - Sister Moses Sumney - grae Lauren Bousfield - Palimpsest
Colton 01.17.21	"but tbf ars and colton's recs' pop quotient is sus af" If they’re not pop why do I have them 5’d
DominionMM1 01.17.21	madonna- celebration
LeddSledd 01.17.21	updated! many thanks to y'all
Cygnatti 01.17.21	"but tbf ars and colton's recs' pop quotient is sus af" [2]
Mort. 01.17.21	i second Prefab Sprout actually. v good band
Colton 01.17.21	Pretty sure Cocteau Twins Sweet Trip and Bjork are all pop in some capacity
davezillaMP3 01.17.21	Kero Kero bonito, not sure what kind of pop they are lol. Rina Sawayama [2]
ArsMoriendi 01.17.21	"but tbf ars and colton's recs' pop quotient is sus af" Which of my recs aren't pop
Keyblade 01.17.21	strawberry switchblade - s/t moumoon - 15 doors utada hikaru - ultra blue
LeddSledd 01.18.21	updated
DominionMM1 01.18.21	the fact that no one has mentioned prince or mj is a bit surprising
LeddSledd 01.18.21	certainly heard some songs but not any full lengths by em
combustion07 01.18.21	Eliza Rickman- O You Sinners Beautiful album with great songwriting and I absolutely love her voice. Bookmarked cuz I need more good pop and have no idea where to look. More depressing, melancholy sound is normally my go to for the style
DominionMM1 01.18.21	i mean purple rain and thriller are stellar so check those
Squiggly 01.18.21	Yes. Prince- Purple Rain & 1999 for sure Also Bleachers- Strange Desire and Fun- Some Nights are very good indie pop, somewhat like Passion Pit, also good
Squiggly 01.18.21	It's kind of hard to find goood mainstream pop albums tho, but I think Johnny's got that covered. Also M83- Hurry Up Were Dreaming, Junk, and Saturdays = Youth
JohnnyoftheWell 01.18.21	Oh yeah that KKB album is v nice, seconded Heart Station would be my Utada pick, but Ultra Blue has some big bops
LeddSledd 01.18.21	sweet, thanks bros been meaning to check M83 lately
Squiggly 01.18.21	HUWD is super long but very rewarding. Junk is mainly just catchy fun with some curveballs. S=Y is also long and has great songs but isn't super cohesive imo
ieatbabies795 01.18.21	Hol up if Frank ocean is on this list then... SZA - Ctrl. The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence
sixdegrees 01.18.21	Daoko discog
JohnnyoftheWell 01.18.21	chaotic evil
LeddSledd 01.18.21	this seems like a trap...
JohnnyoftheWell 01.18.21	it isn't a trap
LeddSledd 01.18.21	hmm
SailorMars 01.18.21	madonna duh
Masochist 01.18.21	I also don't listen to a looooot of pop, but here's some good stuff: Mew - 'Frengers' Marina and the Diamond - 'Froot' Lunik - 'Weather' Coldplay - 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends' Stromae - 'Racine Carree' (French-language, but addictive) And some bands that have been mentioned that I can second: fun. - 'Aim & Ignite' M83 - 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming'
Ecnalzen 01.19.21	Hey hey, I thought of something else! Gotye - Like Drawing Blood
ieatbabies795 01.19.21	Coldplay - 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends' [x2] This album is actually p good, even tho some songs were played to death on radio
LeddSledd 01.20.21	epic, updated @Masochist i've heard some Mew and thought it was pretty good. been meaning to check some more Coldplay
LeddSledd 01.20.21	oh lol, thanks sach
Cygnatti 01.31.21	https://soundcloud.com/ponibbi/heartskip jam it
ArsMoriendi 01.31.21	So what's Ledd checking first
LeddSledd 01.31.21	@Ars Kate Bush props bc I wanna know what all the fuss is about
robertsona 01.31.21	https://youtu.be/UoyuY39xu48
Lord(e)Po)))ts 01.31.21	im really sorry that you have to listen to some of these
Shemson 01.31.21	Agnes Obel - Aventine And a second vote for Mew - Frengers, lovely album that
ieatbabies795 01.31.21	Dont be shy Pots give some recs ;)
LeddSledd 01.31.21	pots gimme recs cock salmon
Lord(e)Po)))ts 01.31.21	Yeah I already rec'd cock salmon
Lord(e)Po)))ts 01.31.21	Id like to unrec everything johnny[weeb] has put on this list however, but you can replace the two subpar goldfrapp recs with their album Felt Mountain which is the album any responsible user would rec. And I guess you can keep Loud City Song too.
JohnnyoftheWell 01.31.21	felt mountain is as much of a pop album as hounds of love go slice a raw potato with ur throat
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	Rofl i like that that's ur rationalization even with the vast quantities of thinly stretched liberties already taken with the recs here and the fact that Felt Mountain very much had ambient pop, art pop, and baroque pop queues all over it Ur real reason is just because you prefer those worse albums and we both know it Also hounds of love has every right to be here too
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	Probably one of the best recs here tbh
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.21	Black Cherry is defs a worse album, but which one is more cogent for a dude who opens his list with that top 4 hmm lemme think
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	Felt Mountain because we out here trying to make his taste better not keep it the same
Spec 02.01.21	I don’t like pop (I’m an opeth fan actually)
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.21	alright, Goldfrapp and Ledd's taste have been successfully gatekept someone pour a beer
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	Oh you're still sensitive about gatekeeping after spaceman called you out about it huh
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.21	someone didn't read the rest of that thread
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	Ok gatekeeper of Japanese vocals
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	BRB gonna go gatekeep some depth assessments
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	Maybe swing by the radiohead thread and gatekeep some httt opinions, its my sworn duty
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	Change your name to JohnnyoftheGate and ill change mine to Lord(e)o)))fGates
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.21	now that's a tempting proposal
LeddSledd 02.01.21	I think that pop music is dying every year because of people like you
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	U first johnny then I promise
Spec 02.01.21	agreed you guys are literally killing pop
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.21	okay changing in 3 seconds but if you don't follow through, i will email a living dog to your doorstep every day until the next time my neighbourhood runs out of dogs
LeddSledd 02.01.21	lol I'd like to thank the musical elites itt for keeping my taste successfully shielded off from all bad music
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	"okay changing in 3 seconds but if you don't follow through, i will email a living dog to your doorstep every day until the next time my neighbourhood runs out of dogs" Oooh don't tempt me with a good time I just sharpened my knives
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.01.21	Yw ledd my job is to serve and protect
Spec 02.01.21	my name was special3ff3cts once
Ecnalzen 02.01.21	Es for 3s, I like it
