Queen.
I'd say what songs by Queen, but that would require figuring out which of their songs would be considered pop, because their music is too broad in genre, and then I'd end up making a list of about 50 songs. Maybe? Let's see. About 5 or 6 of their albums were in the 80's, and so thats like...60-75 songs? And then taking out whats not pop....um, yeah. Like 50? I don't know.
But Queen is my favorite band of all time,
and therefore, they have to be on this list.
Because they were, are and always will be the best.
