Pop

Pop is a music genre that features a noticeable rhythmic element, melodies and hooks, a mainstream style, and conventional structure. The definition of pop music is purposefully flexible as the music that is identified as pop is constantly changing. At any particular point in time it may be easiest to identify pop music as that which is successful on the pop music charts. For the past 50 years the most successful musical styles on the pop charts have continually changed and evolved. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Randy Newman

Indeed. However, the definition of pop has changed.

@livingscarecrow pop stands for popular music, so everything thats popular is pop-music. pop isn't a real genre like rock, punk or rnb. its more like a big crossover

Indeed...On a master copy of the cover art for "The Beatles Second Album" is the notice: "File Under: The Beatles - Pop Rock - Vocal Group".

To LivingScarecrow: Again, at the time (1960's), The Beatles were considered pop AND rock, by music critics and were put in the "pop" section of the record store. The idea that "pop" is a genre is fairly new (only 20 or so years).

I don't think popularity makes a band pop. Gerne is about how the music sounds. I feel that the beatles sound is vastly different from the sounds of the other artists on the list. Probably because The Beatles are Rock and Roll. I further state that a band cannot simultaneously be pop and rock and roll.

QUOTE: "The Legendary rock band "The Beatles" do not belong here. Please remove" END QUOTE...Why not? They were considered pop at the time, and were frequently on Billboards Hot 100 chart during the 60's.

""Robbie Williams is pretty much the only Pop artist who cares and actually makes good music""...I disagree. Doris Day, Bill Haley, The Monkees, The Supremes, and many others are all fine, good artists that were considered "pop" during their peak of success.

Robbie Williams is pretty much the only Pop artist who cares and actually makes good music. Lady Gaga is a fucking joke who will be forgotten in 5 years or something.
