 | The Tension And The Spark by Darren Hayes
Buy new: $27.98 / Used from: $10.81 This is a GREAT GREAT CD. It is great electro pop from start to finish. Great song writing for this genre. Definately not bubble gum pop. I don't really like Savage Garden too much and am simply blown away by this overlooked CD.
|
 | Secrets by Human League
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $4.94 Wow, what a highly listenable electro pop CD from start to finish. I can not believe that this was a commercial failure in Europe. It proves that agism is alive and well in the music industry. BUY THIS NOW and fall in love with Human League again!
|
 | Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.99 Take Me Out, enough said.
|
 | Hot Fuss by The Killers
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.00 I don't care if music snobs look down on the Killers. This is one of the decade's defining CDs for me. There are at least 5 SOLID tracks on this CD!
|
 | Are You Nervous? by Rock Kills Kid
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.65 This is a GREAT CD...very catchy and 80s sounding. Where is their new CD?? Tracks 1-4 are top notch and they deserve an audience on mainstream radio.
|
 | Stars of CCTV by Hard-Fi
Buy used from: $1.92 Arctic Monkeys is overrated...get this CD instead. Hard-Fi is in the same vein only much more enjoyable to listen to. A great CD from start to finish. Great to pair "Hard to Beat" with Rock Kills Kid's "Midnight."
|
 | Music by Madonna
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.01 Many Madonns fans put dowm this CD and I am mystified why?? This may be better than Ray of Light. MANY stand out tracks not to mention the title track which is a "modern" Madonna classic.
|
 | I'm Not Dead by Pink
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.17 It is still a mystery to me why this gem took over a year and half to gain radio support. I bought this on the release date and immediately loved the entire CD. Pink is very underrated and is definately the best of the pop stars that came out of the late 90s.
|
 | Odyssey by Fischerspooner
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $2.50 Never Win...worth the price of the CD alone. It is an instant classic from the first listen. It is such a shame that thus was not a HUGE hit.
|
 | Love. Angel. Music. Baby. by Gwen Stefani
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.07 What You Waiting For?....how was this her FIRST and lowest charting single!!!???? Probably one of my all time favorite songs. I like Gwen better with No Doubt but that one song is worth her solo years!
|
 | Finally Woken by Jem
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.90 What a great and pleasant CD to listen to from start to finish...Dido meets Danny Elfman. Where is her second album?
|
 | Fever by Kylie Minogue
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.01 Pop Masterpiece from start to finish. Made me go back and rediscover Kylie....she is one of Pop's greats
|
 | Neon Nights by Dannii Minogue
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $3.07 While not as good as her older sister's Pop Masterpiece "Fever," this CD is a very strong and fun 80s inspired Pop CD. Highly listenable from start to finish. Dannii's other CDs just don't measure up to this CD.
|
 | FutureSex / LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.46 The second half of this CD is BORING but the first half is brilliant and truly redefined modern Pop. If it was shortened to an EP it would be a masterpiece of Pop.
|
 | Loose by Nelly Furtado
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.94 Overall this CD is better from start to finish than Justin's companion Timberland CD. I love Maneater...what a quality pop song!
|
 | Blackout by Britney Spears
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $7.00 Ok I know some will think this CD is overrated. I am NOT a Britney fan and really think most of her singles prior to the great "Toxic" were throw away. This CD came along and is very listenable from start to finish. "Get Naked" is great. This is one of the best Pop CDs of 2007.
|
 | Supernature by Goldfrapp
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $6.20 Great solid electro dance pop CD from a unique pop star.
|
 | Ta-Dah by Scissor Sisters
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $4.23 I like this CD better than their 1st CD. Its on the verge of campy but never crosses the line too much. Love "Ooh" (was originally a Kylie duet..too bad!) and "Paul McCartney."
|
 | Life in Cartoon Motion by Mika
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.54 Another CD in the vein of Scissor Sisters. Mika at first can be brushed off as another campy Elton John/Queen rip off but after listening a few times this is a great CD. "Relax" is such a strong Pop song..."Happing Ending" is touching.
|
 | Alright, Still by Lily Allen
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $1.99 Yet another campy Pop CD on the surface. When I first heard Smile I was mad that it was getting airplay and Jem's CD went no where. After repeat listenings you start to see the uniqueness and brilliance of Lily's song writing contrasted with her light and airy Pop sound. This CD is good from start to finish.
|
 | Trash, Rats and Microphones by Heloise & The Savoir Faire
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.73 Ok I just bought this CD so I know its a little premature to include this on my list but I can't stop listening to it. I love Heloise's strong voice. It is unusual for Pop music. I caught them on a rerun of Graham Norton and immediately both this CD. It is great disco meets 80s inspired music in the vein of Scissor Sisters. Thanks for finding them Elijah Wood!
|
 | It Won't Be Soon Before Long by Maroon 5
Buy used from: $5.86 I like this CD better than their 1st CD. It has a much stronger Pop feel. Tracks 1,2,3,4 and 7 are all solid Pop songs. Wow 5 solid Pop songs on 1 CD...Buy It!
|
 | Beautiful Garbage by Garbage
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $0.74 Sure Garbage went for a slick studio produced Electro Pop sound for their 3rd Album but I like it even though some fans put this CD down. Cherry Lips is a great solid Pop song. Tracks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 are also stand out tracks.
