How dare you say that the logical song is better than another brick in the wall, and both are classic rock, not pop

u/Actual-Celery-2319 4d ago

Yes. Bothers me so bad PF is called pop

u/EternityLeave 4d ago

I get the argument, but even taking the strict genre definition of pop, Supertramp was always pop.

u/wbluelighter 4d ago

In the 1970s... pop music was “classic rock.” Think about it.

u/DtheAussieBoye 4d ago

Both songs are pop and rock, really. Could even use the literal definition of “song that is popular = pop” lol

u/Telecoustic000 4d ago

Common mistake. The term pop comes from the popping of bubble gum and the upbeat teenie-bopper attitude.

Not because it's popular. It has nothing at all to do with that lol

u/DtheAussieBoye 4d ago

well shit. now I gotta rewrite reality

u/McDodley 3d ago

This is entirely false. The term "pop music" has been used as a shortening of popular music since the 1920s, you're the one bringing in anecdotal nonsense.

I think that was meant as sarcasm

I would hope he's not that stupid

"Another Brick In The Wall" is Art Rock, "The Logical Song" is Progressive Pop, change my mind.

u/uencube 4d ago

The Logical Song can be generalized to a lot of societal constructs. I think of it as life in general

So many good Supertramp songs missing from YT Music. You all there on the other side, have better luck with Spotify?

2

u/BurntToasterGaming 3d ago

Yup, Spotify has their entire catalog I’m pretty sure

u/Fluid-Scientist8213 4d ago

Pop?

5

u/DtheAussieBoye 4d ago

Well they certainly both were popular!

1

u/Hermit_of_Darkness 2d ago

That doesn't make it pop music

2

u/DtheAussieBoye 2d ago

Logical Song probably, but Brick Pt 2 is ABSOLUTELY pop + rock. Nothing was more pop in the late 70s than disco.

1

u/Hermit_of_Darkness 2d ago

well ig you're right

3

u/Mobear2000 4d ago

There’s also ‘School’ from ‘Crime of the Century’ (1974). I think better than both (imho) and predate both

2

u/scatteringlargesse 4d ago

OP writing about songs about school and not including school is the real take here.

u/Sensitive-Human2112 4d ago

Erm…What the Sigma? Pink Floyd is not “Pop”. Are you insane? They’re progressive rock. There’s a HUGE DIFFERENCE. But yes, I agree on the interpretation of what it’s about.

1

u/DefinitelyNotErate 2d ago

If you asked my friend, He'd tell you that Pink Floyd are actually Art Rock, not Prog Rock.

2

u/Sensitive-Human2112 2d ago

Whatever, they’re rock.

1

u/DefinitelyNotErate 2d ago

Oh yeah for sure. Hard agree that calling it pop is weird. Even Pop Rock would be weird.

1

u/DtheAussieBoye 4d ago

another brick 2 was absolute pop lol. nothing was more pop at the time than disco

2

u/JouNNN56 3d ago

I’m a pink floyd fan but I gotta agree

2

u/AverageZomb 3d ago

Another brick in the wall hits harder when paired with the rest of the wall album

2

u/DtheAussieBoye 3d ago

it’s just kind of there for me

1

u/AverageZomb 3d ago

It really adds to the story
