the Chills, Soundtrack of Our Lives and Bettie Serveert. I guarentee they would have made the list if they were American or British.

Soundtrack of our lives!
You are absolutly right Tim.

Vive la Fête
Roxette (admit it- they have some classic pop songs)

Re: bands that should be in the top 2000 albums

Roxette? No thanks, do they have a good album?

Roxette

Look Sharp! is absolutely perfect pop and Have a Nice Day isn't far behind. Honestly, pop has become a 4-letter word in the industry and only scant few pop albums or songs ever garner critical grace, which is unfortunate.

I Never Heard...

the whole Look Sharp! album. My fave singles from Look Sharp were Listen to Your Heart and Dangerous. Though if Roxette is being championed, why not Ace of Base? :-) The Sing could be looked at as perfect pop- problem is, I think for a pop album to get notable notices, it has togo beyond pop, stretch the boundaries, so to speak. Obvuiously Ace of Base didn;'t do that (nor did Roxette)- another strike against Ace of Base is that they were seen as Abba wanna-bes, in a way.

Ace of Base

The Sign wasn't a solid album throughout. Look Sharp! really is.
