What Are Your 10 Top Pop Stars?

[Ragged Glory]

Cool. A thread where I can pretend to be human. I was waiting for one of those.

1) The Beatles (they really did pop)
2) The Supremes
3) John Denver
4) Elton John
5) Various 50s artists (I'll lump them together because they weren't really universally pop in their day)
6) Lois Armstrong
7) Nat King Cole
8) Jonny Cash
9) Gordon Lightfoot
10) Jim Croce

Did I cheat?

I guess a lot of people might have their own Genre definitions. I'm glad you're enjoying the thread though. That's the whole point here.

The Supremes are a good mention, especially if we're considering Dance, Disco and R&B Pop here like many have.

Are we allowed more than one top 10?

Good to see Nat King Cole get a mention here - I love him (which is okay, because Carlos Santana loves him too).

 

[Wolf]

Monkees
Turtles
Tommy James/Shondells
Buckinghams
GrassRoots
Gary Puckett/Union Gap
Paul Revere/Raiders
Standells
Spanky/Our Gang

[Lynch]

Elvis - the ULTIMATE pop star
The Beatles *
Bee Gees
Prince
Michael Jackson
Billy Joel
Elton John
Frank Sinatra
Madonna (80's Madonna ONLY)
Hall and Oates





If the Beatles first 5 albums came out in the 90's or 00's, they have totally been a "boy band".
