Pop Music That Is Great Music

From grantland.com, an interview with Rick Springfield on the song Jessie's Girl. I mean, what an absolutely fantastic pop song.
And pop songs that are great songs deserve their due.

Nice insight. There were some great pure pop songs in the 80s. One that stands out to me is ABC - The Look of Love.

Yeah, it used to be that way.
Madonna - Like A Prayer. This one still holds up for me.
And I actually might consider this song -- Michael Jackson - Man in the Mirror -- to be the best song of the entire decade.

TWas my favorite Madonna song. Still have it on my MP3.
80's had the best pop music, and the worst.

Player- Baby Come Back
Tears for Fears- Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Michael Jackson- I Just Can't Stop Loving You
Sheryl Crow- All I Wanna Do
It sucks, pop music used to be great. You could turn on the radio and hear different types of music on the same station.

Pretty much anything by Hall & Oates.

80s were really good for pop music (not so good for rock music).
Madonna refined the sound dance music from blaring disco music into modern dance music. There were secondary players in that arena (Gloria Estefan, e.g.), but she's the queen.
And Hall & Oates were a great blues-pop band.

"Kiss" is on my short list for best pop songs ever written.

There's no doubt that pop music ain't what it used to be, but there are still some diamonds in the rough.
For example, I don't care what you think about Taylor Swift, but God bless her for writing what I consider to be a damn near perfect pop song.
I also consider this one by Charli XCX to be a 5-star pop song: Boom Clap

Prince is the greatest musician ever though, great songs are to be expected.
