29. We definitely agree.
I think a good pop song is incredibly underrated.

Look at A-Ha (over in Germany, I'm sure they are given the credit they deserve, but over here, they're considered a "one-hit wonder"). A good pop song is just as much an art as anything else. And New Order could definitely pull off the good pop song. Bizarre Love Triangle is a perfect example. Hell, even Love Vigilantes, as pained and crappy as the lyrics were, managed to say something profound.

The Pixies is another successful example of this: their lyrics made no sense 99% of the time, but they were treated as just another instrument.
