Offline I thought I’d use this thread to list the types of music/music related things I hate:
Classical music that isn’t in a movie or TV show
Pop, especially modern pop (I hate older pop as well, but modern pop pisses me off even more)
Rap/Hip-hop (the closest thing to rap I like is probably the Beastie Boys You’ve Got To Fight For Your Right To Party)
Drum machines and any song that uses one (these things should be outlawed and people should get prison time for using one on a song instead of an actual drummer)
Linkin Park
Don’t Stop Belevin (this song is way too overplayed)
Modern dance music that sounds like it was made by a crack smoking robot
People like Lars Ulrich who are against Peer to peer file sharing
Celebrities against sites like YouTube (such as Michael Jackson’s estate who owns The Beatles catalogue)
There’s more as well.
Maybe you should try posting more.

Rock artists:
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Beach Boys
AC/DC
Queen
Led Zeppelin
KISS
The Monkees
The Who
Jimi Hendrix
Pop artists:

Almost all of your ‘pop’ artists are soul/funk singers. Soul and Funk isn’t pop, it’s a form of rock.
Also, the BeeGees aren’t a pop band, they are a rock band. Go listen to their first album if you don’t believe me.

Offline Pop/Rock is a thing.
Also from Wikipedia
There are core elements that define pop music. Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common use of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and hooks.
Which the Beatles used in a lot of their songs.

Soul and funk aren’t forms of rock. Soul and funk are forms of R&B.

Since when was Aretha Franklin considered a rock singer, that makes no sense. Also, when I said The Bee Gees, I was referring to their Saturday Night Fever era, the era I remember and their most successful era. When most people think of The Bee Gees, they don’t think of their 60’s work, they think of songs like Stayin’ Alive, How Deep Is Your Love, Night Fever, More Than A Woman , Jive Talkin’, and You Should Be Dancing.

I would take Wikipedia with a grain of salt, as that definition labels rock bands such as Queen, KISS, and AC/DC as pop bands.

Offline The last time I checked, KISS was a rock band. They make this clear with the songs Rock And Roll All Nite and Detroit Rock City. Plus, do these two albums sound like the same type of music to you.

Offline I can see the similarities. Also Pop will often time be coupled with another genre like POP/ROCK.

There are similarities because Pop is a derivative of rock and roll though and means just what it says… POPULAR music. But not all pop music is necessarily charts based. It was formed as a softer alternative to rock and roll. Rock and roll was derived from rhythm and blues music. From Wikipedia about pop music:
“Pop music is eclectic, and often borrows elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, Latin and country; nonetheless, there are core elements that define pop music. Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse chorus structure, as well as the common use of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and hooks.”
And oops I see Starr Shine? already referenced this too. But yeah that’s basically what pop music is, the structure.

Yes, they have the hooky, verse-chorus thing that’s very pop even though they SOUND harder. Listen to Rock and Roll All Nite for an example. Isn’t Pop-Rock a thing?
As for the Fabs, they crossed genres. I call them overall a rock band, but they definitely had some pop songs in there along with a host of other styles including rockers. I mean, if I Want To Hold Your Hand wasn’t a pop song I don’t know what was.

Mmmm… no, I’d call the Bee Gees primarily Pop.
And the artists listed as “Pop” in the above list (with the exception of the Bee Gees) were all R&B / Soul singers. They had popular music, but they were R&B artists.

Offline Alright. Sometimes when I post here, I’m half-joking. Sometimes when I post here, I’m dead serious. This is one of the latter.
I really hate when people say things like this:
-“You’re better than that.”
-“You’re smarter than that.”
-“You’re too good to say/think that.”
I resent that. No matter how well you think you know me, you will never know me as well as I know myself. Let my words and actions speak for themselves. And don’t presume you know what I’m capable of better than I know what I’m capable of. But I’m not even beginning to touch on why these are really offensive. What these statements often actually mean are “I’m unfairly judging you and I want you to take back what you just said.” If you say these things, at best, you’re an idiot and at worst, you’re a judgmental a-hole.

Offline Over-generalisation, particularly of musical genres. Most pop and rock bands, especially the great ones, cross genres like chickens cross roads — just because you have to apply one genre label to them for simplicity’s sake doesn’t mean that they never did anything outside your conception of that genre and/or worth listening to. Ruling out an entire genre because you hate some of the artists who have become associated with it is deeply uncool.
The Beatles were particularly ruthless genre-blenders, borrowing from R&B, country, folk, Indian music, etc. and turning them into a kind of middle-road sound — which is a component of so-termed ‘popular music’, i.e. music for the people. Their music was insanely popular. Of course we cannot forget that their roots were in rock; therefore, if I were forced to apply one label to them, I would consider them Pop/Rock.
The label ‘Pop’ doesn’t equate to ‘stupid fluffy noise’!
