I wish some people would think these ideas through before dumping them on us like they've had some road to Damascus epiphany that they really need to share.
 
If creating a Pop Star was easy we'd all be doing it - to hell with artistic integrity, bring on the champagne and caviar, limos and easy action - dammit I want a big house in the country and a fleet of Italian supercars to drive to Domino's for a take away pizza - if writing a 4-minute, 4-chord wonder is that easy then let's do it now - come on guys, we've got the talent and I'm sure we can find some leggy bimbo to front the band - our 90% split between us would still be a tidy sum of cash.
 
 
damn, this is one catchy tune:

Just curious, who amongst our long time prog fans hasn't gone through a period where you looked down on pop after becoming a prog fan?
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Ive gone on to appreciate pop more after becoming a prog fan when I was 17. I like some pop when I was 10-12 years old, but that's cause I was so young and not exposed to much music (besides classical).

The only pop song that's come out in the last 5 years that I truly liked, was C. Lo Green's "f**k You", and it's probably because it's so derivative of 70s R&B/funk (and the lyrics).

Not me - I bought Electric Warrior and Meddle in the same year - I've always like Pop and Prog.

Not me.  I've always like some pop and some prog.  I always thought there was good pop and good prog.  Weird I know!

Technically, most 70s prog is pop music pushed to it's limits, with added eclecticism. This could be why some people don't like modern prog, and some have said it lacks that 'hook'.

Technically everything under the sun is pop that is not Classical or Jazz or serioius experimental composers

Oh, but it is that easy.  The only ingredient you're missing is money.  You either need to have a whole lot of it, or know someone who does and is willing to invest it in you.  Pop stars ARE created these days from talentless bums by people who have a tidy sum of cash.  Ashley Simpson?  Read this article from someone IN the business:

Well, was classical (Romantic, Classical, etc) not the pop music of it's day?

And Jazz has been pop music at least 2-3 times in it's history. Swing, 70s fusion, and smooth jazz.

No, not really. Plus the word pop had  not been created.
