The Stone Roses is a good shout but I feel a great pop album should have those big 45 moments too that crack the charts and send people onto the dancefloor. The Roses was an indie thing which is not to belittle it but it doesn't quite ring true for me. Some other ones... Prince - Dirty Mind. The revenge of the Mac Madonna - the debut is an overlooked gem but you could pick Like A Virgin as well. At her best when she still updating girl group records for the 80s If you want Weird pop then Doolittle by The Pixies I'd even stick Culture Club's debut in that mix.

I found that UK folks have a reverence for Human League, but right off the top of my head I thought of better pop albums: Depeche Mode, The The, Rick James, and Blondie with albums miles more enjoyable.

The cheesiness of those Duran Duran videos has stood up way better than I ever would have expected. Watching them is like watching “laugh-in” re-runs.
