Oye Como Va, by Santana. Or almost anything by Santana that's in Spanish. English too, but this is a non English music thread.

Edit: I just realized that it's a "pop song" thread. I'm not sure if old Santana counts as pop, but I'll leave it anyway.

Ayumi Hamasaki is one of my guilty pleasures. This video is fun to watch--cool cars and hot women--a throwback to the 80s. Kinda reminds me of Cyndi Lauper.

Oh, Tiziano Ferro.... TI AMO!!!! Ti voglio bene!!!!

This is the song that caused me to first fall in love with him: Olimpiade
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=630yO9NxPv4


But since then his work has improved

And for mega-pop value, Luca Dirisio's version of the High School Musical theme song!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe1aiY-qyZM&mode=related&search


And Jizzo T Clown, that was a pretty funny video.

Anything by X-Japan.

I personally think Endless Rain is one of the most epic power ballads of all time.

Hell Y E S. The 80s rule. That was like Cinderella, Warrant, Scorpions, and Poison rolled up into one band.

The rest of the album is in English, but I love The Blow's Bonjour Jeune Fille. I don't know what I would have done all summer if I couldn't have driven around to their Paper Television album.

You also can't beat a bit of brazilian beats with Tropicalia. Especially this one is a must.
