I avoid modern pop music in general... But I'm sorry, I will always have a soft spot for "Baby one more time" by Britney.

I would add "I want it that way" but let's be real, every dude secretly likes that song.

I guess a good bit of Emilie Autumn could fall into that class if I where to put tags on it.

Rich by Maren Morris

Every so often I listen to Lady Gaga. I really like a few of her earlier songs but haven't listened to most of her discography.

I hate that music and gender are somehow connected, but unfortunately that's the world we live in. Anyone who gives me crap for listening to/doing/etc. "girly" things is a person I don't want in my life.

“Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer

love to know how people interpret a “girl” song. my mind is all over the place atm trying to classify songs and artists. like, is Taylor Swift the bakery of girl songs? does boss bitch / bad bitch energy count within the realm of girl songs? etc.

Lover by Taylor Swift. Also Toxic by Brittany

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I’ll add “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” by Taylor. It’s a bonus track on Midnights and easily could’ve been the title track on a different album

Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson is a fucking jam

I normally listen to heavy metal, rock maybe nerdcore rap. The other night, I was alternating between the albums of Natalie Imbruglia and Melanie Chisholm. There's some good stuff in there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Speaking of Heavy Metal and Natalie Imbruglia. I really liked Steve Welsh's "If Korn wrote Torn"

Attributing gender to someone's song preferences has to be the strangest example of mental gymnastics I've seen for a while.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you new to the whole “human” thing? We gender absolutely everything.

Meh, there's a ton of songs written strictly from female perspectives or with a female audience in mind. From Peggy Lee to the Spice Girls and so on.

I feel like they apply as "Girl Songs".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Not how I personally interpreted the question, but that's a fair point.

Even if that's the case though, I don't see why anyone would have to keep it a secret. To quote a favourite 'girl song' of mine..."Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Being insecure isn't teenager exclusive, I guess.

I think OP is just asking the age-old question of "what is you guilty pleasure pop-song". Just very poorly worded. I'm not gonna hold that against 'em.

🤦🏽‍♂️

(I actually like White Houses more)

Hold my hand by Lady Gaga.

Destiny Child (as a whole their music kicks)

Pussycat dolls another good band. I know you asked about songs but... Here we are lol

Toxic by Britney Spears. Absolute fucking banger. Musically interesting for an American pop song. Each chorus has the chords walk down, which is pretty cool, but then on the next bar something really interesting happens. Instead of walking down from the second of the four chords, there are back to back tritone substitutions! So fucking cool!

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking too….

I'm the same way, but mine is "Toxic" also by Brittany.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No jokes, if you liked that Britney track, check out "Vivien" by Crosses, and die laughing when you get to the chorus.

As to your question? Brandy and Monica, "The Boy Is Mine". The harp line in the instrumental goes fierce, and both women have heavenly voices. (Always wondered why they didn't just click up and mess up the dude that played 'em both.)

Pretty much everything by Avril Lavigne.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Have you heard the recent album with the Blink 182 guys? Travis Barker drums with Avril's vocals are great.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh wow. Yeah I have it but didn't realise the Blink 182 guys were involved till now.

Would Lights by Ellie Goulding count because that song slaps
