[Music] Enduring pop songs that have stood the test of time

[Raleigh Chopper]

Can’t say I saw Ace, but have seen Paul Carrack live and he is still fantastic. He’s had an amazing career and was involved in loads more of my favourite songs than I’d realised.

Harry, how can a song last the test of time if I have never heared any of them first time around.
And when you do play the game, I don't know that one either.
And I think I have an above average knowledge of pop music since the 70's.

If it's about the song, this isn't a bad cover



Also one of the greatest intros

Whatever happened to this guy, great album that this comes from.

I listed stuff that lasted the test of time as far as I am concerned, and I did think about avoiding stuff sounds horribly dated (particularly owing to shitty and sexist lyrics). I really struggle with mainstream pop. That said I'm stunned you don't know 'How Long' by Ace.

Perhaps this one is before your time....if not how does this grab you?

Probably my age but I think the 70s was the biggest ‘pop’ era and in the main thinking of bands who focused more on singles than albums most of the time - ergo the great Roy Wood and Wizzard

You mentioned Tamla, H, and from the 60s this is a classic which still sounds great today imo

Now this is DEFINITELY pop - and what a clever band they were

I could be here forever so I'll **** off now.

Youve peaked with this one. One of my all time fave bands. Best you stop posting that other garbage (to be fair, some of what you post is pretty good. Ive just not heard of it before)

Ah, now you are talking, the great Dusty.
I found lovely song by her on You Tube yesterday I will put it up.
I hope you realise that my post was light hearted as I admire your knowledge of some very obscure and left field music.

Love this and I think it fits with the 80s vibe of this thread.
