The greatest pop writers were the beatles, the beach boys, and michael jackson. There are plenty of great pop songs by other artists. I love pop, and I'm not afraid to say it. It just gets a bad wrap because there's alot of douchebags who make shitty pop and not enough serious artists who tackle the genre anymore. I would go as far as to say the Pixies wrote alot of solid pop songs. But they also rocked hard. Syd Barrett Pink Floyd had a few, quirky, but kickass pop songs in the vein of the pixies (using it as an example, even though they came before the pixies) like See Emily Play for example.
so yea, See Emily Play is my pop song of the moment.
