"Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a great pop song.

yes classics..

#1 The Bee Gees (F*ck off, I like 'em)

#2 ABBA - Dancing Queen. Because when a 3yo blonde hair beauty looks up at you with those big blue eyes and says "Daddy, can I be dancing queen?", then dammit, you fire up You Tube and make her dancing queen for 2 hours, if that's what she wants.

Bee Gees were great.
ABBA great. Love their music. Loved Mama Mia both on the screen and on Broadway.

You sound like my husband in this regard. He also likes the carpenters, which i saw someone mention. But his uncle used to drum a bit for the bee gees, and andy gibb, so we will listen to them if we are changing stations and they are on.

Hey, that beats my 2-year-old blond boy demanding 2 hours of Gangnam Style. Especially when he demands "Mama do it." I managed to spasm my back doing those damn hops for him.

Wholehearted agreement on the Monkeys, Carpenters (playing their Christmas album last night), everyone bigrun mentioned, and especially Three Dog Night. My fave:

Gosh, I'm feeling more mainstream than evah!

Don't forget the Doobies (this song really gets the synapses sparking)

Does anyone know who wrote the lyrics in my sig below?

Love listening to these old songs. Problem is, if I get started, can't stop until 2 or 3 in the morning and then my dogs want to wake me up about 6 or 7. listened to 3 dog night, Carpenters, Dave Loggins, Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks, Joe Cocker and a few others last night and into the wee hours. Good stuff.

Here's the Chatroulette version of "Call Me Maybe." For those who aren't aware of Chatroulette, it's a random visual hook-up via the internet- you get randomly connected with other people on line to talk or whatever. As the Daily Show hilariously discussed a few years ago, the vast majority of users seem to be guys showing their dongs, but sometimes you get something like this:

Sadly, since I last saw it, it looks like one of the people in the video found out he was in the video and demanded his face be blurred. Heh.

Steve Howe might well have been the most underrated guitar player of all time

I remember when John Wetton left Asia it was depicted in the music magazines as some epic creative battle between him and Steve Howe. Reading about it years later, it sounds like, in actuality, it was about John Wetton being a drunk.
