Haha. As I said it's a guilty pleasure.

 
The Cat Stevens Very Young is brilliant. It reminded me of this one I haven't heard for a while.

 
If you like that you should have been knocking around here on April the 1st, ask ethicalstrategy, he couldn't get enough of it!

 
What is interesting is that reading through this thread there is no mention of anything even remotely recent. Now the obvious assumption to make is that most modern music is churned out pap and can't hold a candle to the songs suggested in this thread.

So for arguments sake here are two 'recent' songs which I would say have all the ingredients to be considered as great pop songs in 15 years time by people who were in their teens when they came out but none of us have even come near suggesting them.
