Post some of your favourite pop albums.
This is a chill thread. No noe gives a shit if you think pop is meaningless commercial trite or a sign that consumers will inevitably become mindless drones for the big corporations.
Seriously, fuck off if you start that shit.
My choice: Hot Fuss by The Killers. Honestly, if it's not a work of indie rock or post-punk then it's a hell of a pop album, and that's not even including the singles. "On Top" stands out.
Boring, generic radio rock shi*e
I like "Jenny was a friend of mine" and "Andy, you're a star"
Pop is meaningless, commercial, trite, and a sign that consumers will inevitably become mindless drones for the big corporations.
Mr. Brightside is an alright song
...
Best pop album of this decade so far desu
...
why are pop metal bands so much better at pop music than pop musicians without guitars?
that might not qualify for this thread but /metal/ would laugh at me
it's got to be the contrast but there's not a lot of harsh in this album at all
Tears for Fears is the obvious choice for good pop artists here, right?
underrated album from this year, idk why this didn't cause them to blow up
production is superb and there's these odd, proggy harmonies, combined with their snark i'd liken them to steely dan but they're working with a totally different type of pop
wow spooky trips
also is that seriously a flying penis
What is pop music though? Seems like everyone has conflicting opinions on what should or shouldn't be considered pop.
Anyway, I'll go with Sufjan's Illinois
when did y'all accept you'd never find anything better than this?
Short, sweet, and ready to fuck your eardrums in more than one way.
If you consider it pop then yes
Good pop, but this album is overrated to tarnation on this board
*you'd never find anything worse than this
...
sams town was better, but still a good album though op. nice to see some other music being posted here rather than the generic handful of albums everyone tosses eachother off over
...
It was a hard choice between HF and ST, not gonna lie.
Yeah, it's interesting to see what people listen to outside of Sup Forums-approved stuff. It's quite refreshing.
+1. This is 'art pop' at its finest.
Don't even try to deny the coolness of this album
This was the soundtrack of multiple virginities lost around the world
this is an experimental rock/art rock/progressive rock masterpiece, NOT pop music
I think he's using the definition "it sold a lot and therefore it's popular" of pop music
Fun fact: if you lower the pitch of her songs, she sounds like George Michael
Second fun fact: it doesn't work the other way
everything sounds the same and I'm a huge pleb so this is even worse coming from me
You admit you're a pleb lmao how does your opinion matter?
Sigh... Another pop thread. I realize this place has always been bad, but we're hitting new lows every day.
>sigh
Also my favorite album of any genre.
This was my AOTY before Jeff Rosenstock's record came out
I love this shit and I'm not even a 15 year old girl who wishes she was bisexual.
go wank over NLDW's album cover you cretin
I'm a patrician
It's fucking garbage
...
...
it's okay for background noise
I don't get vitriol surrounding it though. Like what exactly about it offends people?
...
...
literally the best mainstream pop album of the decade
maybe he's talking about the time that thom yorke said "we make pop music"
I've always liked Lana Del Ray and her themes of Americana. I know it wasn't on the album but the sound "Ride" is epic as fuck
>pop
It's pop-punk
but it's fucking amazing either way.
Is it fair to say that this is a pop-rap album? It's phenomenal, in my opinion it's the best fusion of great rapping and poppy beats I've ever heard. Favorite song is Encore.
Patrician pop coming through
...
Is Grammy award winning band arcade fire pop? They have some good albums.
21 Pilots is trash you cuck.
>21Pilots
Ew
absolute plebs
they created the modern indie rock scene
idk if I'd say the genre itself is pop
indie pop maybe?
baroque pop arguably
Also anything by the Strokes, just chose Vampire Weekend because their more poppy
Whoops didn't mean to reply to you, please ignore
I thought that was White Light/White Heat before I clicked on it, was a bit confused.
but i liked the reply senpai :(
...
In that cases then, what's you opinion on Frank Turner, that's another pop artist I really like
Partie traumatic
I'm sorry, what is the name of this album? I want to check it out
Everything Everything - Get to Heaven
...
...
...
not a huge fan desu, though i can appreciate some of his work
GOOD choice
My vote goes for this. Ben Gibbard and Jenny Lewis kill it on vocals while Dntel does a good job with the glitchy electronic pop production.
...
Yeah, this is pretty spectacular
...
Never heard of this, what's it like?
Sexy.
I don't know what to think about that description
She and her music sound sexy.
Never listened to them except for their remix of Tame Impala - 'Cause I'm a Man
It's fucking god-tier though, almost as great as the original.
Oh my god haha
>pop punk
>not pop
Love this album. My summer school love when I was 17 showed me it. It'll always have a special place in my heart
This is a fantastic album and I am a huge metalhead.
album name?
...
thriller
disgusting get off my board
...
>I GO OO OO
>YOU GO AH AH
>Yung Lean for girls
(aotd would be Ultraviolence)
Quickly becoming one of my favorites
Found the album through guitar hero lmao, one of my faves
P good
>MOM! I did the thing again!
Probably my AotY t.b.h.
I really liked Born To Die and Paradise was good too but everything afterwards just sounded like a parody of herself with everything that made BTD good removed. I'll never understand why people like Ultraviolence and whatever the new one is called so much more.
...
...
seconded. I wish Flamingo was on it though.
I love this album.
I'm not even bent, and I know it's just pure style over substance, but theres's something nice and melancholic about it. Like those old James Bond songs where someone just romantically sings hopelessly into the void.
i like those
and i kinda like hot fuss too
...
its right there on the cover
Depends on the source of hate. People either hate AM for being actually cool " bluesy greaser rawk", or because half of the people in here got cuckes to some of the songs
Someone posted a while back about his girlfriend sucking some guys dick to Arabella lol
