Care to recommend me some interesting pop music?
So recently I've been noticing that just about everything on my ipod is either metal, hardcore, post-rock, ambient, or something related, and now I'm looking for something a little more poppy, though still interesting sounding or with a strong emotional impact. Maybe something along the lines of The Postal Service, but I'd also like a decent variety.
Thanks
yeah, The Postal Service was just an example. I'd rather have interesting music in general than just groups that sound like them.

Well, if you like the Postal Service, try Death Cab for Cutie if you already haven't.
Beach House is sort of pop ish but very chill and ambient.
She and Him are great for a more retro pop sound.
You could try The Shins, who are a more folk-rock pop sound.
If you're into a singer songwriter type pop, try Aimee Mann, Regina Spektor, Marina and the Diamonds.
OH Florence and the Machine is great :)
Not very pop-ish but you may like Crystal Castles if you like the Postal Service.
Hope that helped!

They aren't really like The Postal Service, but some have a poppy sound and are emotional.

I was gonna recommend Owl City, since he's like The Postal Service, but I don't know if you'd like him.
Have you tried Ballboy?

Phoenix perhaps?

Or even Neon Indian? Technically chillwave, but it's pretty poppy

The Long Blondes are pretty cool too.

And that's all I have for now. If I think of anything else, I'll edit it in.

Hmmm...are you looking for recent stuff or can it be a bit older? I don't know much of the current stuff that isn't the Top 40 that they beat the hell of on the store PAs or at the gym, but here are a few that I like.
Some of it goes by different genre titles so it may not be "pop" to some, but it seems poppy enough to me. And how "interesting" it is...well, that's completely subjective, I guess...LOL.

interesting is an adjective that cannot ever be applied to pop music. sorry. i didnt write the grammar books, but it says right here on page 3,052 that that adjective cant be used before the words "pop music". =/
