Its quite a pity, actually, that there are very few that have heard and liked Neil Diamond. I thought he was brilliant in small flashes. A brilliant songwriter, one of the few to make pop music still okay-cool.
Personal Favourites:
Suzanne
Forever in Blues Jeans
Solitary Man
Brooklyn Roads
Be
Both Sides Now
Beautiful Noise
Sweet Caroline
Song Sung Blue
I Am... I Said

And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

My dad has a collection of Neil Diamond. I haven't much of him actually. Kind of hard to come across his music.

How do you define pop music? Or rock music for that matter.
It is sad that pop music is always associated with stuff like Pussycat Dolls, Backstreet Boys..etc
inexile: Dude, he's there and not there. That's how it goes, you know, with him.
dhrupad: ditto.
artful: I can understand man, its not bad, that's all.
whitelight: that music should actually be called pansy, it makes it just so much better, naa?
some of the best records ever made have been out and out pop.
i'm surprised that u know abt Neil Diamonds...i thot i was only person who knew abt him and still sings 'Song sung blue'...u were ryt. it's a pity not too many ppl know abt him
:(
whitelight: was just talking to my Old Man, who gave me the Stones, Velvet and others, about this whole pop thing. The Beatles were one. Backstreet Boys and N'Sync are just synth shit, like what are the chances yo would wear synthetic shirts?
mizfit: I'll be what I am, a solitray man. ;)
The Beatles were an out and out pop band. So were the Stones, Beach Boys, Bowie, Oasis and Blur. It all depends on the treatment. I have never believed in musical genres by the way. This whole concept of pop and rock. How the fuck do you differentiate the two?
Almost all of the best shit that came out of the 80's was pure conventional synth pop. Prince for that matter. And he has made some of the best albums you can ever come across.
true, all true whitelight...!
