"For me its one of 2
Jazzy jeff and the fresh prince Summertime
Or
Outkast
Ms. Jackson
Good shout but if outkast... My choice would be hey ya!
Oh and Valerie... The zutons version of course. "
Not a chance hey ya was the most overrated outkast song and it wasn't even an Outkast song but an Andre3000 song for the album the love below/speakerboxx in which they did one album each |

There is no single answer - there are many I could choose from all of which I'd be perfectly happy to hear if they popped up randomly
To highlight this, I've been compiling a playlist on my phone of songs I'd be happy to hear if I hit shuffle - so far I'm up to artists beginning with P and already have over 2000 songs on the list.
Guess you also have to ask what defines "pop" - for me it's chart music and that (historically at least) covers just about any genre.
And yes I know that's a typical GM "sensible" answer but, as shown above, I could honestly pick thousands - now of course there are some I favour more than others, but even then we're into hundreds that could be considered "best". |

"Bohemian rhapsody.
Greatest song ever.
Everyone can have their favorites, that’s personal choice. "
Was coming here to say the very same thing... Its not my favourite song of all time but I do think it is the greatest piece of music of our time  |

That would be my choice for Outkast too, I’d say it’s in my top 5 |

Are you making up your own questions? 
I know it’s hard, that’s why it’s fun! |

Ms. Jackson is an awesome tune agreed  "
To be fair the whole album Stankonia is one of my favourite albums of all time  |

I didn't say it was hard - I said it's not possible to pick just one, I can easily name hundreds that conceivably could be considered "best" 
Which I know is a contradiction |

Right now I'm going to say Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
In the few seconds it has taken me to type that I've changed my mind - McFly's Five Colours In Her Hair
Or maybe Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson...
Wait; I've got it. Little Red Corvette - Prince.
Hold up. Taylor Swift's - Blank Space/Gorgeous.
Hmmm. |

Agreed. Evermore is a masterpiece.
Same with Katy Perry imo , Roar is a great upbeat pop song and you cant not sing and dance to it "
Ooh ooh! I’d forgotten about Firework!

"ABBA - dancing queen
Ricki Martin - Livin la Vida loca
Britney - Toxic
I’ll see you Toxic and raise you Hit me Baby one more time"
Though both are on my regular play lists I prefer toxic. And Britney is far hotter in the toxic video |

I don't sit on the fence, I'm just well balanced
It's not possible...have just been for my daily walk and the following all came on as part of my shuffle play...all could easily have been named:
World Shut Your Mouth - Julian Cope
Uh Huh Oh Yeah - Paul Weller
Downtown - Petula Clark
Cochise - Can't name the band
The River Of Dreams - Billy Joel
Four Seasons In One Day - Crowded House
Windowlicker - Aphex Twin
Hard Times - Human League
Try A Little Tenderness - Otis Redding
Jumping Someone Else's Train - The Cure
And that's only about half of what was played |

All I Want To Be - Peter Frampton(live version)
I cry when I hear it, because I think of one of my buddies who is USAF MIA since 1983...I was supposed to go with him, but got diverted a day before because I didn’t qualify on the range for one of the weapons we were meant to carry for the mission.
It eats me alive sometimes, but now they cut the lights down, this record’s goin slower!
All I wanted to be...

Not really Pop but Time by Pink Floyd is brilliant musically and lyrically.
The words resonate with how a lot of people (me included) used to think we had all the time in the world when were younger and how we realise it soon goes by.
