What's the most well crafted pop-song of all time?

Outkast - Hey Ya

culture beat - mr. vain

Honestly I think it's Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

That shit could be from the 60's, it could be from today. It's simple. It's a bit ambiguous. It has emotion, but it can get you moving. It just kind of hits every mark.

These are all pretty good. The Killers have a few, but Mr. Brightside is probably their best, I mean catchiness, impact, everyone loves that song. I'd probably throw in

>Mamma Mia
>All My Lovin'/I've Just Seen A Face
>Oblivion
>Valerie
>Build Me Up, Buttercup
>I Belong In Your Arms
>Be My Baby

and some slightly less straightforward ones

>Care of Cell 44
>Lost It To Trying
>Sonsick
>Youth
>Paris 1919

and honestly it might be recency bias but Radio, the Sylvan Esso song is shaping up to be on this list for me too.

Amazing songs, but don't feel exactly like pop to me, but idk, every genre has gotten incredibly nebulous at this point.

>>73109323
first one that popped into my head. the chord progression and melodies are actually pretty interesting but it still works REALLY well as a pop song.

>>73109429

would also say love will tear us apart or there is light that never goes out

>>73118529
new order and the smiths were absolutely pop music at the time

>>73117930
not even the best new order song

Bananarama - Cruel Summer
a-ha - Take on Me

>>73118599
some new order for sure, but with how long Blue Monday is, and its lack of a pop song structure, it's hard for me to feel like it's pop. Catchy, and definitely good, but idk if that's all it takes to be pop.
