New York, London, Paris, Munich: Do you listen to pop music?

No, I generally try to listen to good music.

Sure. Z-100 (WHTZ) and 103.5 WKTU plays all that stuff, and I hear it in the shops.

‘Cause, baby, you’re a FIIIIIIREWORK!

Not really. I mean I don’t go out and look for it, but I’m not ashamed to admit that often enough, I hear some that are nice and funky, and fun to dance around to when people aren’t looking at me.

Yes, and it’s Katy Perry*... how dare you.

I’m in Amsterdam and Katie Perry is on the radio every five minutes, so yes, I listen unintentionally.

Shoobie Doobie Doo app….

I listen to some pop music (although Katy Perry doesn’t really float my boat).

I even have a few Britney tracks on my iPod.

Most pop music is hard to tolerate, for me, but it’s also hard to avoid, as it’s everywhere it seems like. Maybe some Katy Perry, one Taylor Swift song, that’s really about all I know). I do like older pop, like from when I was in school (70’s and 80’s).

I’m a guy but sometimes I don’t mind listening to Colbie Caillat’s Bubbly
Katy Perry, not really. I like the fact the she’s married to Russell Brand though.

I listen to a World Class Rock station.
I checked the current Top 40 singles chart, and found I only knew 2 of them (and frankly, I am shocked, shocked (!) that Cee Lo Green’s song F*** You is at 38. That song has been out for a year!
I also knew Rolling In The Deep by Adele.
There may be other songs I know on that chart, but these were the only two I recognized.

I listen most kinds of music from classical (my favorite if I had to choose a genre), jazz (this is a more recent interest, hated it as a kid and young adult) to ethnic music (especially music from India) to blues and bluegrass and gospel (not a lot, but some I have started to really appreciate as an adult) to Xmas music (which I listen to year round) and and ambient/new age stuff like Enya and gypsy jazz (like Django Reinhardt) and dixieland jazz and ragtime, as well as standards like Dean Martin and Julie London and modern standard artists like Michael Buble, to 60’s and 70’s era classic rock (Beatles, Byrds, America, Donovan, Fleetwood Mac) to more modern rock and roll from the 80’s on forward and old rock and roll from the 50’s.

So I would have to say yes to Pop including The Bay City Rollers, The Backstreet Boys, Madonna, Pink, Michael Jackson and Beyonce.

The only types of music that I find hard to stomach are rap, really hard heavy metal (like speed metal and death metal) and some really hard-core experiemental jazz stuff and a whole slew of harsh sounding (to me) female singers like Bjork, Kate Bush, Ani Di Franco and Tori Amos.

Yeah, when I feel the need to go into a state of listening to mindless lyrics and heavy bass beats which all sound the same.

I thought I did, but this morning I was looking at the top 10 in the newspaper, and realised that I hadn’t heard any of them. I assume most of it gets through to me eventually, usually via Glee.
