Topic: September 2025 FSOTM - Pop

II's the first day os Spring here in the southern hemisphere, and possibly the first day of Autumn in the north, and e are looking for entries related to Pop Music; whenever I hear that phrase, my head goes back to that big record with the "M" on that says "everybody loves Pop music" ... 

https://i.discogs.com/SoSsM4rcbqJa2oK8_8IzFc27eplnqoCpkj-ZjuqSbWo/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:588/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTQ2ODU0/ODktMTQ3MDkzNDU5/OC00ODYxLmpwZWc.jpeg 

Examples of POP artists would be, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elton John, The Beatles, Bing Crosby to name but a few.

So, feel free to post your POP song or write an original POP song. 

READY, SET, GO!!!

Grah, enjoyed all 3 videos, thanks for sharing.  Looks like you and the lads were having a good time doing this number.  Good food, good wine (or in this case raki) and good company by the looks.  Well done, thoroughly enjoyed watching this one.  The drummer had great rhythm and the lead guitarist was good too.

neophytte, Tiny Dancer, nicely done, good performance by you, so well done.
The other song "Love will tear us apart", I hadn't heard of before, so I went and had a look at the original song as well.

Re: September 2025 FSOTM - Pop

I don't have any song to post for , but I came across this fantastic video on the making of The Beatles Strawberry Fields forever.

However - if you are interested in bands using new instruments, collaborating,with band members, the giant role of new technology in music, the origins of lyrics in a song,just how good The Beatles were - then this is for you!
I just came across it by accident, but it is sooooo good!!

Cheers
