There you are - a nice antidote to my more serious album lists. Let the bullets fly!
Dangerous picks! I like 'em!
What about "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce? I love that song. And, I hate to admit it, but I like "Cry Me A River" too, especially the beat.
I may have to add the Beyonce tune. I never listen to the radio, and I only recently bought it off of iTunes, so I am only now starting to groove to it.
I guess I need to nab the River tune. I've heard it once or twice, but that is hardly enough to judge well...
Shalom, y'all!

I prefer Trick Me Once by Kelis, but Milkshake sure is catchy. Kelly Clarkson has been a pleasant surprise.
Ah, another one for me to track down!
I've heard the album, but only Milkshake stood out for me. I'll have to try that tune as a single. Thanks!
Milkshake always reminds me of the mad, funky fusion of hard R&B and pop with a glob of freak mixed in that Prince was once the king of. Earlier, Sly wore that crown. I love the stuff.
Shalom, y'all!

Good list so far!
Submitted for your approval, some suggestions for possible future additions:
"Some Girls" by Rachel Stevens
"The Show" by Girls Aloud
"Hands and Feet" by Fannypack
"Letter from an Occupant" by The New Pornographers
"Bandages" by Hot Hot Heat
"Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior
"Try Again" by Aaliyah
"Heartbeat" by Annie
Thanks!
I will have to check out several of these. I'm trying to stay at one track per artist, but I do love Heartbeat. In fact, that entire album is fab!
I considered Bandages, a song I love with a passion I cannot explain, but I though it was a little too strange and angular to qualify as pure-pop. Your thoughts on this? Anybody?
Many of the remaining I will have to download soon. Thanks! My iTunes shopping cart is always hungry...
Shalom, y'all!

All I can say is...
Thank you for not including "My Humps." God bless you.
Have no fear. That will never happen.
Remember when the Peas were considered on the verge of being a decent band? No?
I barely can remember myself...
Shalom, y'all!

Oddly enough, I was just listening to the BEP last Friday (old album), when my friends were having a discussion about where they went all wrong. The general consensus was the addition of the female vocalist. All agreed it was a shame to waste what certainly was a decent band.
Yup, the band's devolution is a headscratcher, but hey, they are making the money, so I reckon they do not care nearly as much as we do...
Shalom, y'all!
