Any song by ONE DIRECTION, and Time Stand Still by Rush (hate the female backing vocals)

That generic indie pop song style, usually with a somewhat ironic retro vibe (e.g. token hammond organ sound, reverbed surf guitar, etc), used in commercials to market new technological gadgets, to hone in on the young hip crowd. Usually has a coquettish female singer singing wordless vocals. You know the commercials I mean.

Or a 2/4 feel on acoustic guitar complete with glockenspiel, handclaps, and gang vocal "oh's" with glottal stops.

Can't all those pretty pop singing girls do something better with their instruments?

In a recent songwriting session I put something like this smack dab in the middle of an acoustic jazz/progressive tune. Evil Smile

anything by Madonna (no kidding)
anything by The Clash
Moxy V
Van Morrison-Moondance
Don Mclean-American Pie
David Bowie-China Girl

and as far as prog goes
Caravan-Golf Girl
Yes-Owner Of A Lonely Heart

Quite like London Calling by the Clash. They were not my favourite punk band though (The Stranglers or Siouxsie and the Banshees)

Van Morrison yep. Grumpy old b*****d that seems to be held in ridiculous reverence yet I only know of one song of his that I've ever heard

Don McLean maybe a little harsh

Bowie I would probably go for Lets Dance but we are splitting hairs admittedly

Stairway to Heaven is an obvious one as it's been over-played to death.
Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To My Lovely? The lyrics make me cringe, though I do like the follow-up Frozen Orange Juice.
Anything by Canuck caterwauler Alanis Morissette, I think I am actually allergic to her.
Anything by Stock, Aitken and Waterman. With a name like that they should have been an ace Prog power trio instead of purveyors of cheesy 80s s%*t.

Struggling to think of any Prog that makes me groan when I hear it, though maybe some early Rush where Geddy Lee squeals too much.

Richard, I can't believe you hate everything by The Doors!

I love that Peter Sarstedt song LOL

Alanis has probably made my favourite rock album.I think your allergy to her is similar to mine for the Doors. I love organ as well but I just can't listen to them and have never owned anything by them in any format. Never been remotely tempted. If I hear anything by them on the radio I swithc it off immediately and that station goes on my blacklist Smile

Correct - in fact, anything by this troupe of lunatics is banned for life. Including that ponce who prances around in the Native American Indian get-up
