- Post subject: Catchiest Songs Of All Time
|
Out of songs you like, which do you think are the absolute catchiest?
I'm fascinated by some catchy pop, but poppy music in general isn't my area of expertise, so looking forward to seeing what other people post. Here are some I like:
Bang a Gong (Get It On) - T-Rex
Hey Jude - The Beatles
Where Did Our Love Go - The Supremes
Lola - The Kinks (when I was a teen, I was mildly put off by the subject matter, but damn, great melody)
Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac
Shining Star - Earth, Wind & Fire
Black Water - The Doobie Brothers
Dancing Machine - The Jackson 5
Fox On the Run - Sweet
More Than a Feeling - Boston
S.O.S. - ABBA
Kiss From a Rose - Seal

I agree with Daydreamer. This is about the only song of Rumours that I could not immediately hum. Why not Dreams?
And I would think Waterloo catchier than S.O.S.
Catchiest song?
Beach Boys – Barbara Ann
maybe?

Certainly can't top the catchiness of many mentioned so far.
I'll just add
Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves
Lido Shuffle by Boz Scaggs
Rubberband Man by The Spinners
Walking on Broken Glass by Annie Lennox
You Can't Hurry Love by The Supremes
Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest
and the dreaded Copa Cabana by Barry Manilow!

Its no coincidence that every song mentioned so far was made in the 60s or 70s. Even the pop music of those decades is better than the rock music of today. Or any other kind of music for that matter.

Blondie - Atomic
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Smiths - This Charming Man
Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)

Donna Summer - I Feel Love

The one that immediately came to mind was PonPonPon by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Just insanely catchy.
