…you know the one, the one that still gets plays on all radio stations and whenever you hear it you think, Damn that has to be the perfect “Pop” song.
For me it’s The LAs…I’m a sucker for a good hook and jangly guitars.

Rio - Duran Duran. 
but has to be Ultravox- Vienna surely?
pop is not really my thing, but I could not really choose a favourite rock/metal song, there are so many I love!
Love this one though, thinking about it, it has to be the ulmimate?

This one would probably get into my top ten, if for no other reason than the gorgeous Perri Lister’s dancing towards the end of the video.

Good call.
Was listening to this album only yesterday. Research for my next entry on the Our Tune… thread.
I used to love Duran Duran when I was 9/10, the first music that I got into!

Incidently, Perri Lister had a speaking role on another of my favourite songs from that era

I’m going to blame this one on having a multitude of sisters. Basic fact is it’s a fucking great pop song:

i downloaded a “best of 60s” thing on my iPods a while back, and it has made me Dis-Satisfaction with i.e. modern pop songs. Where is the Pop Songs as good as i.e. this?
You’re not wrong, Bear. This ticks every box. The right side of 3 minutes. An opportunity to show the ladies all your best moves. An excuse to wear shiny shoes.

Oh my gosh. Worth sitting through the first 3 minutes for the massive funk outbreak when Stevie starts up.

Yes Fowllyd, both of those resonate with me, and from the same era I’d throw these two into the hat.

I would like the inform the Rt Honourable Lets B Drinking that we at Sotonians are thinking of his valuable supping time.
You do not need to “link” vids, sir.
Just copy and paste the URL into the box you’d normally type into, whack it on its own line and you’re done.
Free to quaff away, knowing that you’ve done a good YouTube link.
OK - this has got everything. Funky bassplayer, shaggy mullet, girls with bandanas and groove.

Tried to do that and get a box pop-up saying “insert link, insert image , insert table.”
I daresay there might be a more sophisticated way of doing it but I’ve been using ‘Ctrl V’.
