Though on some releases her name is misspelled as "Mary", Merry Clayton's duet with Jagger on this track is something else – and she's the reason this song was included over several other Stones songs we'd shortlisted.Īccording to Jagger, the collaboration was somewhat haphazard: they called Clayton to record "randomly" in the middle of the night. We certainly agree with Johnny Rotten when he said, "Pop music I have always loved best." An understanding of contemporaneous societal pressures (and momentary pain relief from these) is surely a positive aspect of pop music, though. Of course, it is worth remembering that to be good encourages popularity, but to be popular is not always to be good. Historically, jazz, the blues, R'n'B, gospel and folk are among pop's roots, where electronica, dance, rock, metal and hip-hop are just some of its branches. Good music is good music whatever genre is comes from." Perhaps our favourite such quote comes from Nina Persson, lead singer of The Cardigans, who said, "Pop music is a difficult term to define. Peter Tork has argued, "Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins." Prince once uttered, "What's missing from pop music is danger" and Bono's thoughts on the matter include: "Pop music often tells you everything is OK, where rock music tells you it's not OK, but you can change it."
