Need some pop

ElvisFan · 27 Jul 2007 at 21:00

I need to fill my mp3 player with some decent general pop. It's not for me, it's to use as filler music during the interval at my gigs.

Needs to be really generic, the sort of stuff nobody dislikes. And that includes old women.

U2, Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Just type "bland rock" into google. I'm sure you'll get some hits. no one could possibly dislike it!

What music do you play at your gigs? If it was rock music i would try to contrast it and play something like ian brown or even air. I wouldnt want to play rock music then at the interval play some Nirvana or Beatles and upstage myself! Plus if you play some popular stuff, in a similar style to your own, then you will be going on stage after many people have just heard one of their favourite songs/bands

Oh, chuck the Killers in too. Typical drunken nostalgia pop. i.e. crap.

Good old solid cheese seems to be the student norm nowadays sadly. And speaking of which: Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams

most of the stuff suggested so far are indie and rock. old school offensive pop by definition is ABBA is it not?

Yea lol. That must be it. Let me just get my Miles Davis CD out, he's definitely pop music.

Has anyone said Jet and The Thrills yet? Both totally unforgivably bland bands.
