What is the greatest " pop " song of all time

[Uncle Spielberg]

What is the greatest pop song of all time ?.

Quite simple really.

This one is simply genious, a work of art up there with Beethoven and Mozart, it will be played in 400 years time, as will the group, not macho, not hard, quite camp but a sublime piece of brilliant music by a fabulous group, no pop act or songs nowadays come close to this georgeous foursome.

Anyone who says they do not sing along or have an uncontrable urge to dance is lying.

Abba - Dancing Queen

What do you regard as the greatest " pop " song of all time

Dave, that is not a pop song

 

[Dave the OAP]

Dave, that is not a pop song

it is.


It is a song made famous by a popular beat combo.

in my eyes that is popular, therefore a pop song

 

[El Presidente]

Good song but is it strictly a " pop " song

It appeared on Top of the Pops at least thrice, and has been covered by a number of other bands, so shirley the answer has to be "YES"

 

[Gully]

For me it is a toss up between "All you need is love" and "Let it be", by the Beatles.

 

[El Presidente]

For me it is a toss up between "All you need is love" and "Let it be", by the Beatles.

I can honestly say I have never wanked to either, but do admit to craftily beating one out to "Heart of Glass" on regular occasions when it was number one and on TOTP every week.

This side of the world.

You may pronounce us guilty a thousand times over, but the goddess of the
Eternal court of history will smile and tear to tatters the brief of the
State prosecutor and the sentence of this court, for she acquits us
Condemn me
Condemn me
Condemn me
History will absolve
Singing "this will be the day that i die".
