According to Chris Martin of Coldplay (as well as a bunch of other “songwriters” whose brains are probably mush from all the drugs they’ve taken), “Bitter Sweet Symphony” by The Verve — yes, the song that is essentially a rip-off of “The Last Time” by The Rolling Stones — is apparently the best pop song ever written.
It’s hard to disagree: karaoke is an artform like any other, after all. But where are “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice or “I’ll Be Missing You” by Puff Daddy on this list?
Here, then, is pure pop in all its brilliance…
