Yeah, I love the song, but that Jessica Simpson butchering... ugh.

1- Simon & Garfunkel- "Cecilia"
2- Peter Gabriel- "Sledgehammer"
3- The Beach Byos- "Heroes and Villains"
4- Prince- "I Would Die 4 U"
5- TLC- "Waterfalls"

7- Madonna- "Like a Prayer"
8- Dusty Springfield- "Son of a Preacher Man"
9- Demi Lovato- "Catch Me"
10- No Doubt- "Spiderwebs"

Very tentative top 10.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Man, I totally can't get into anything Madonna has ever done. Her music is so boring for the most part and unexciting using shocking images to invoke reactions instead of just making quality music.

Spiderwebs is also a really cool song. Tragic Kingdom as a whole is pretty good, too.

Madonna's music videos are totally like that, but I actually quite like her 80's music.

That's the only Madonna song I like, actually.

And I can't stand "Jack and Diane", even as a kid I hated it.

Would it be better if I picked Paper In Fire?

I was unaware so many people hated that song.

I'm afraid that I don't know that song, but I like "Pink Houses", or "R-O-C-K in the USA", or "Crumblin' Down", or "Authority Song", really just about any Mellencamp song but "Jack and Diane".  Don't really know why; it's kinda like how I really hated "Losing my Religion" as a kid, except I grew to like that song.

Also, who else likes Eddie Money?  I like to listen to some "Take Me Home Tonight" or Think I'm in Love" every once and awhile.

That would be this song, though I guess that's more classic rock than pure pop.

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Paper in Fire" is vintage blues. Not what I'd really consider pop.

Stuff I can't believe I forgot:

"Roxanne"- Easily the Police's best song.
"I Can Hear Music"- A sweet, overlooked Beach Boys track.
ANYTHING by the Buzzcocks- 'nuff said
"Kiss Me Dudely" by Torche- Imagine if Dave Grohl wanted to make music like what he actually listens to rather than the safe alt rock he's been putting out for the past decade, but is in tune to the catchiness of the first couple of Foo albums. That's what Torche achieved with this album, and any other song could qualify here.
"We Didn't Start the Fire"- or insert any other Billy Joel classic here

I'm more of a fan of Message In A Bottle. It was pretty much the only Police single that wasn't overplayed here.

That's a really good one too. I love the first 2 albums but I get progressively more bored with each one after.

I actually own Ghost in the Machine on vinyl, primarily since Demi has a shirt with this very album on it, but I haven't played it once.

I like Synchronicity most. It just has the most amount of songs I love, though I like the well-known songs off the other albums just as much. So in my mind, it's one of those weird instances where a classic band peaked on their final album, as opposed to releasing decade after decade of mediocre material.

Really? I think Synchroncity is as boring as anything. "Synchroncity II" is a cool song, but the rest is forgettable to me.

Syncronicity I & II, Every Breath You Take, King Of Pain, Wrapped Around Your Finger... I like those songs. And that's almost half the album. More than I can say for the other four albums, which each have one or two songs I like while the rest won't do anything for me.
