The Perfect Pop Song

[tombutler]

Inspired by four words of Robin Chavara sometime this past summer, I've been trying to assemble a list of what he referred to as "the perfect pop song." I have three songs that undoubtedly belong on this list, and a few that... might.

Definitely
Belle and Sebastian - Simple Things
The Clash - Train in Vain
Space - Female of the Species

this seriously set me off on an almost hour long search within my itunes library and this is what i found and even though most are kind of obvious i just can't argue:
the jesus and mary chain - just like honey
david bowie - life on mars?
the shins - pressed in a book
the beatles - hey jude
julia
and because i've played it over 30 times in less than a month:
deerhoof - wrong time capsule

i forgot.
radiohead - no surprises
