Name a perfect pop/rock song

The Coral - Jacqueline

 

The Sheepdogs - Nobody

 

'I Fell In Love Again Last Night' by The Forester Sisters

 

'I Can't Get Close Enough' by Exile

 

'If We Never Meet Again' by Roger McGuinn

 

Now, Now - SGL.

 

'What A Crying Shame' by The Mavericks. From their extremely enjoyable Grammy Award-winning album released in 1994. Of course, I say that about all their albums...

 

'Tempted' as recorded by Marty Stuart. Written by legendary British songwriter Paul Kennerley, this enjoyable song emits a Buddy Holly/Dave Edmunds vibe.

 

'I Still Believe In You' by The Desert Rose Band

 

'Summer Wind' by The Desert Rose Band

 

'If The Sun Doesn't Shine' by The Smithereens

 

Suzanne Vega - "CARAMEL".

 

Yeah -- that's a helluva good song.

I think in a different time frame it could have been a massive hit. The timing was just bad, with respect to the climate/market.

 

Duran Duran - Rio
Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
Wang Chung - To Live and die In L.A.

 

the entire green album is a great example of the pop/rock sound of the 2000s

 

"Woman In Chains" - Tears For Fears with Oleta Adams - almost six minutes of perfect pop pleasure.

 

Take a Chance On Me - Abba

 

Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl

 

Also this one
