I've defended my love of mass produced pop here before, and I'm quite willing (especially after a couple of mulled wines
) to do so again if neccessary.
You're missing the point of pop by miles, Mr Frogs, if you compare it to rock, or jazz, or any other genre of music to be honest. Pop is purely about an attractive person singing a catchy little ditty. It's irrelevant whether they are a talented musician. These days, studio technology and session musicians can easily be utilised to make the song sound good. To compare pop to rock like you're doing is like saying David Beckham is a lousy sportsman because he can't bat! It's comparing apples with oranges!
And that's what pop's all about. Purely a good record. That's all. It's amongst the many different styles of music that I enjoy, and I appreciate each style for its strengths.
So - I enjoy pop, and you enjoy listening to songs about wizzards and hippies & stuff. Fair play to you, I say.
