More than half of your Pop list is not Pop.

 

no doubt. just rough categories.
For the most part I am just trying to put stuff together that would work for me to listen to in a sequence.
Genre's aren't my strong suite ... for me really there are only a couple of genre's ... i like it, or i don't like it...
if i broke down the stuff I like, it would essentially be, soft, loud, transitional lol
