ABBA made brilliant pop songs. They were the Beach Boys (and girls) of cold North Europe. I'm not embarrased about them. I'm embarrased about liking The Carpenters though
As well you should be.
Kidding. "Close to You" is one of the first songs I remember hearing as a very wee one (along with Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again, Naturally") and I have fond memories of that song.
A couple of years ago I went out and bought a Dionne Warwick Compilation. Mostly Burt Bacharach / Hal David tunes; you know, the lighter side of pop. Good Gawd that lady could sing. To say her manner and delivery were understated would be an understatement. But she had it and used it sparingly. It's so refreshing to hear someone who could deliver a tune without making it all about herself.
Like many people have said already, I secretly like Britney Spears music lol.
Her last album that came out in 2007 was extremely catchy. Especially the songs "Radar", "Toy Soldier", and "Hot As Ice".
Also boybands like NLT, Backstreet Boys, Jonas Brothers, and NSYNC. Everyone talks crap about them and how they're all sell outs... but their music makes you feel good and fun to listen to.
