favourite pop song?
 

There's always that one you hate to love, but love to hate, yadda yadda...

My vote goes to Toto- Africa

I LOVE THAT SONG.

There I said it. Who's next?

The one I love to love is the great Duel by Propaganda, from 1984.

Right now it's Belle And Sebastain's 'Lazy Line Painter Jane'.

Excellence itself.

The greatest pop song ever, by the perfect pop group.

Have you heard of the new electropop duo she's in?I have this article i meant to pm you and i've found on a pub .Apparently the single is great.I can't find it in this mess now.I have to pm you some Mark E Smith stuff that i read on a free amagazine as well.

The sound of his voice reminds me of buono, unforunately. But still, very good...

Here's another that shouldn't be forgotten.

Hand In Glove - Sandie Shaw

frankie do you remember me.

this thread is getting boring since i've no time to check those links. whatever...

i have too many favorites, but i guess it could be almost anything made in the 80's.

80's is where its at.

and justin can kick a song or two out. but michael jackson lost it badly after bad.

I use to have a serious crush on Claudia Brücken, for some strange reason. Good choice with Duel.

I'd heard that Claudia had done something with Glen Gregory of HEaven 17, but I don't know if that's true.

She did something last year with Andy Bell (of Erasure) - I think it was a couple of duets on an LP of his. I've never heard it though.

That MES stuff would be much appreciated.

You know, my two teenage pop crushes were two of ZTT's artists at that time; from Propaganda I much preferred Suzanne Freytag, second from right:



The other one was the very nice Anne Pigalle:



^That's another one of my favourite singles ever.

I still keep track(stalk) Claudia here

Is she still married to PAul Morley, do you know?

I think Suzanne went back to being a jeweler.

The excellent 12" of Duel:

whatever happened to ya kid k?

What is ya kid k? Is that someone's name?

this beat is technotronic featuring ya kid k. do you remember? it was really funny totaly 80's shit.

The most recent interview i've read of her(1 week ago)says that she has met an english guy 12 years ago and fell in love with him and London.The band with the Heaven 17 dude is on and the single is being played in clubs + i've read a couple reviews saying that it is an ace slice of electropop.

I remember Technotronic.

That's a shame about the marriage. Paul Morley is still a very cool bloke in my opinion. Reading his sleeve notes for ZTT at the time did helped to increase my thirteen-year-old vocabulary.

I'll have to try and listen to both of the collaborations.

Speaking of Paul Morley, The Art of Noise - 7" Close (to the Edit)

Other versions of the track:

7": "A Time to Hear"
12": "Close (to the Edit) (Extended Remix)"
12": "Close Up" 7:37
12": "Closely Closely (Enoughs Enough) 7:11
12": (picture disc) "Edited" 5:32
12": "Close-up (Hop)" 5:10
12": "A Time to Clear (It Up)" 5:05
12": "A Time to Hear (You're Listening)" 3:27
12": "A Time to Hear (Whos Listening)" 3:25
Green label 12": "Untitled version" 7:38
Cassette single: "That Was Close"

Wiki

You can add Closing to that. It's a short version (approx 1'30" from memory) that kicks off the auperb compilation ZTT Sampled, and features Morley uttering the words 'spanner in the works'.

Didn't know that Paul Morley was also credited with steering the marketing and promotion of the phenomenal early success of ZTT's biggest act, Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Paul Morley and Trevor Horn controlled everything. It was a source of discontent, and was why the Art of Noise left ZTT. Shame they did, because thier subsequent releases were bland as a result.

Morley wrote all of the extensive sleeve notes that accompanied ZTT releases at the time.

Interesting.
This thread is giving me the urge to make a synthpop tokomix.

I like that song that goes:"love me love me say that you love me tutututuuuuutuuutuuu"

wild is the wind?


EDIT: oh, my 666th post, that song is evil...

rehab amy winehouse, the whole album is ace too.
