Nah - not really in the same league.

I'm not a great Commodores fan (Lionel Richie is an embarassing botox-freak these days) but Kool & The Gang are great fun. Many great singles and different styles.
XTC could be a contender for the title ultimate pop band. Never sold many records but created many many musical gems.
And so many more.
How about The Wanted? Backstreet Boys

Yep. Also Earth, Wind and Fire
Hot Chocolate
Boney M

Seen them in concert, they were excellent.
Me too. Thank you. Boyzone
They were playing The Supremes and The Who in a Spanish supermarket this evening while I was shopping.
Not a 'pop' fan
But I like Blondie too
And The Cure
And Madness
Blondie did the perfect pop song with "Maria".

One of their most crap songs.
Rip her to shreds was fantastic. Unfortunately one of their few 12"ers I couldn't get hold of.
I'm always touched by your presence dear.

Quote: Chappers @ 7th March 2008, 5:23 AM GMTI think it has to be Blondie, brilliant catchy songs that rock too - really hard, clever lyrics, great rhythms. And I think some of the guys were considered sexy.
Have I forgotten anything?
And the most sexy woman singer ever!

Has anyone ever heard any of their early punk stuff?
They were part of the whole cbgb's punk scene era
