    My nomination would be Dizz Knee Land by Dada. A superbly catchy song with a great manic guitar outro that lasts almost a whole minute of the 4 minute song.

    Is this going to be another thread where everyone posts their favourites and no-one listens to anyone else's?

    I don't mind, I just like to know.

    Nope - I'm at my desk and working my way through them.

    Some I'm familiar with, others are new to me.

    I listened to yours, mostly because they were some of the few I don't know :). Although I am quite a big pop fan, I've never seen it as something inferior…

    Not bad, but not great. I'm surprised you didn't post the one you usually do, which is far better ;).

    Oh, I still like April Skies. But it's important to keep things interesting.

    Yes. If you hang around long enough, every song that contains the merest whiff of guitar will get mentioned. Anyway who has the time or the interest to listen to every suggested track?

    It's a great playlist, quite a few of which I had forgotten about, and I'm always looking for old influences to steal 

    I don't think there are any limits, only that they are good examples of well written perfect guitar based pop songs.

    I mentor a group of young musicians, and I am always giving them stuff to listen too. It's not about favourites, it's more about construction.

    I like to listen to these tracks in the time I would otherwise be spending shaving.

    A heck of a lot of songs in this that are only pop rather than rock if you think Motorhead are just about rock, if a bit "soft"...

    Actual pop song with great riff, and yeah a great one as well....

    Yeah, its gone there, but it is a great riff

    You are the dreamer, and the dream...
