    People basically listing anyone that has recorded a song that uses harpsichord or a piano recorded to sound similar to a harpsichord ("In My Life") as purveyors of "baroque pop".

    I guess that's understandable as the instrument is most closely associated with the Baroque period.

    I've heard about half of the OP's list and I like most of them. I don't know that I'd call them all "baroque" but Dandelion and Out of Time are in my Stones top 10 and several others are close, including Lady Jane and (which is definitely baroque) all of the Satanic Majesties cuts.

    It must be said though that Marianne Faithfull's rather lovely cover of As Tears Go By out-baroques the Stones by a wide margin.
