I have had a rough outline of this mix for a while. I keep adding and subtracting songs all the time.
A major source of inspiration for this mix was the Poptopia! series from Rhino. If you can find these 3 discs,do so. You will not be disappointed.
These are some of my favorite pop songs. The hooks are there,the backup harmonies....everything about a perfect pop song is in each of these in my opinion. They make me sing along in the car on a nice summer day and get stuck in my head for days at a time.
Enjoy.
