Best pop song of all time??

[doadeer]

If you could only say one... And why?

For me... It's Tina Turner - The Best.... The lyrics, the best, so iconic. I think it's simply the best 🤣

Simple Minds - loved them - Book of Brilliant Things. More rock than pop though.

Dancing Queen - Abba
Sublime

Brimful of Asha - Corner Shop
A Town Called Malice - The Jam
Free Nelson Mandela - Special AKA
I'm Your Man - Wham

Tears for Fears - Head over Heels

Look of Love/Poison Arrow/When Smokey Sings-ABC

My all time favourite song is The Smiths- There is a light that never goes out. Wiki says it is pop, but I would consider it to be more alternative, so not sure it counts?

Other favourites:
Small town boy- Bronski Boy
The Human League- Don’t you want me
Men at work- Land down under
New Order- Blue Monday
Simple minds- Don’t you forget about me

I should be so lucky. Or livin on a prayer.

9 to 5 Dolly Parton

God save the Queen - Sex Pistols

Temptation by Heaven 17.
Prince Charming by Adam and the Ants

@Damnloginpopup

God save the Queen - Sex Pistols

Not sure that's a pop song.

Slightly off topic, but Whitney Houston's isolated vocal track of I Wanna Dance with Somebody (on YouTube) is spine-tinglingly good.

Living on a prayer is another big classic number.

Undertones: Here Comes The Summer.

So many of these especially ELO - Mr Blue Sky and The Communards plus

Pulp - Common People and Disco 2000 if these count as pop

Bee Gees - Tragedy

Blur - Parklife (if pop?)

And The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger is a pretty good song too!

September- Earth, Wind and Fire

That Russian one where he is dressed like he's in a bondage club from the year 2100 and trills his tongue all the time.

It's a trip for both the eyes and ears.

I haven't RTFT so I don't know if anyone has replied, but i think you're thinking of 7th Element by Vitas. One of my favourites but DS hates it! I play it super loudly just to annoy him

Van Halen - Jump

T Rex Get it On (Bang a Gong)

Video Killed the Radio Star

or
Dont Talk To Me About Love

or
There She Goes

Loads of brilliant contenders on here but I think I’d have to go with come on Eileen!

Dunno - always sounded a wee bit rapey to me.

I'll try again:
Don't Talk To Me About Love
