Who said "unmelodic pop" means ENTIRELY without melody?
The ranting on those songs is as or more important than the melody lines.

i think if there are clear, differentiated melodies in the chorus esp it shouldn't count as "unmelodic"...i mean, "what do you want me to saaaaaaaay, what do you want me to dooooo" isn't exactly cole porter, but still

No such thing. Although some people would claim that stuff like "The Power" with Snap would fit into that category.

(umelodic, yes, but not pop)

how bout Van Dyke Parks? Search, of course - but I must have listened to Song Cycle 100 times in my lifetime and would be hard pressed to hum any of it

i class 'The Power' as pop, pure and simple - modernised pop perhaps

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 00:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I class nothing that contains rap as pop.

Funny how fond you are of the phrase "melodic pop", then.

― man, Wednesday, 12 March 2003 00:19 (twenty-three years ago)

I can hum "Vine Street."

― hstencil, Wednesday, 12 March 2003 00:19 (twenty-three years ago)

funny how the most "popular" genre in the world still fails to be "pop" geir

What about 'Wham! Rap'? Wham! define pop.

Or Michael Jackson's 'Black or White'. MJ was the King of Pop.

What the hell do you mean by pop, anyway?
