Perfect Pop Songs

Those with the kind of music, lyrics, performance, arrangement and production that you could easily repeat all day.

How about starting with this one? Somewhat outside of her usual cannon and none the worse for it. Perhaps also a contender for the sexiest vocals ever?

I’m a big (English) Beat fan from way back.  After they broke apart, I followed the members to their next bands (General Public, FYC, etc).  
I am concerned that if we get competitive we might attract a certain member who has been active this week.  This forum has been fun and informative so far.  Oh, heck, life is nothing if not risk!

The Clash - Rock The Casbah

Rockin’, energetic, great beat I could dance to (back in the 80s...)

@16f4  and All,

I was just kiddin' about going head-to-head. The last thing I want in this thread is a pi$$ing match about what's best.

Let's keep it fun for everyone.

Check out Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians cover of "Walk On the Wild Side." It's very faithful to the original. If you don't melt when she sings "Holly came from Miami, FLA....," you might want to check for a pulse.

"Fool If You Think It's Over" is a great song; but, Chris Rea's voice sure has changed over the years. However, he's continued to make good music (albeit, less poppy). "On The Beach" is a pretty sweet track.
