Cool Perfect Pop Songs - Which are your faves ??
You know the ones, when you just have to turn it up, you know every word, every note, it perks you up and makes you smile as you sing along in the car, oblivious to how embarrassing you look.

For me.....

Squeeze - Up The Junction
REM - The One I Love
Waterboys - Whole of the Moon
ELO - Mr Blue Sky
ABBA - Winner Takes It All
Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues
Kirsty McColl - New England
Chuck Berry - Johny B Good
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer
Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild


I could go on all night, your turn.......

Yeah, but does it still work without the visuals, and will it have the same or greater effect on you in 20 years time ?
