    A lot of it is terrible but some of it is great, particulary if you are at a party and you don't want anything too serious. Some awesome pop songs include "Angels" from Robbie, "Sexyback" (or whatever its called) from JT and just about any Michael Jackson tune.

    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    I love Duran Duran, The Bangles and A-Ha. However I draw the line at Take That.
    I agree. 80s pop is where it's at. Today's pop (Gwen Stefani,Fergie,Paris,etc.) is just borderline stupidity at it's ugliest.

    POPular music isn't bad. Even PJ was POPular at one point in the early. If by pop you mean the soda POP candyass genre we had in the late 90's ( Knockin on the Backstreet Boys and co.), then it sucks bawls. I don't like most pop music today, but thats me.

    There only is GOOD and BAD music, regardless of the genre.

    But..I have to say I think you can make some kind of scale..if you must that is..If you set up some criteria like complexity of all the instruments or how unique some riff is or I don't know, you could look at all the instruments separatly what they're playing..and then country sounds cheap in comparison to jazz...but then again..sometimes simple is better or it fits the song more...so..I think we shouldn't measure but look each song from it's own perspective..
    Good music is, if it expresses what all of the other "tools" (fine art, language..) cannot...
    The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.
