Ah, looking forward to another debate about what's pop where no one agrees with anyone.

Please consider this post as if containing the whole of the Depeche Mode discography (or almost of it).

Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" and "The Way You Make Me Feel."

Who would want to discuss that?ConfusedLOL

I trust that the posters rely on common sense and for themselves are able to determine what may qualify as a pop tune. 

Specifically, by pop tunes I actually mean 'hits'.

Ate a lot of beans and I got some gas.  Made a big fart, blew it out my ass. Tongue

Blondie's OK with me, but I don't have any of Harry's stuff in my collection.

I guess these would qualify for me:

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

A lot of great songs posted here! Rob and Chris, props for bringing up Tears for Fears, as you guys may have noticed by now I too am a big fan. Barking Weasel, love the Tom Cochrane as well, I'm a big fan of his music Smile 

I'll just post a few now, more poppy/less classic rocky

This song is about as catchy and fun as can be. 

Good modern brit-pop

Fun song (note: this one is pretty loud)

Ahh The Cocteaus .  See here we go 'Common Sense' has nothing to do with this.  I don't think CT are pop but there you go.  Some round here concider anything that isn't Prog is Pop (Minus Classical and Jazz me thinks).  SeventhSojourn says 'Hits only' but does that mean if Lady Gaga doesn't have a hit then it isn't pop? Literally yes .
 
Anyway....
