Basically this thread is for excellent pop rock songs, so anyone who wants can listen to stuff they haven't heard before and I can freshen my itunes. For pop rock I basically mean guitar based music which sounds like a pop song aka the type of thing you're likely to hear on the radio. They don't have to have been commercially successful they just have to have that pop feel eg The Smiths - This Charming Man The Cure - Lovecats The Strokes - Last Nite Weezer - Buddy Holly
I'd have to say: Just What I Needed/My Best Friend's Girl- the Cars Beat on the Brat-the Ramones From Small Things-Dave Edmunds Nights on Broadway- the Bee Gees Turn to Stone/Evil Woman- ELO
Sleater-Kinney - Jumpers THIS IS INSANELY GOOD Pulp - Disco 2000 Egyptian Hip Hop - Rad Pitt The Drums - Best Friend The Vagary - Come Back The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Heart in Your Heartbreak
Hmm, I was going to say West Coast by Lana Del Rey, but she's more Alternative/Indie Rock... but give her a try Her music is not for everybody, but it grows on to you after you listen to her songs a couple of times.
I think it'd be more pop punk but I actually enjoy some of Good Charlottes songs. Especially Girls & Boys.
