I avoid modern pop music in general… But I’m sorry, I will always have a soft spot for “Baby one more time” by Britney.
I would add “I want it that way” but let’s be real, every dude secretly likes that song.

Toxic by Britney Spears. Absolute fucking banger. Musically interesting for an American pop song. Each chorus has the chords walk down, which is pretty cool, but then on the next bar something really interesting happens. Instead of walking down from the second of the four chords, there are back to back tritone substitutions! So fucking cool!
If you want to hear a surf rock instrumental cover that is actually phenomenal check out The Surfrajettes. Also amazing name.
I… I agree…
Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking too….
I have an entire playlist that’s just covers of Toxic. It’s too good of a song.
Try the versions by Solence and Calvin Arsenia.
My favourite is when hardcore bands cover pop songs because the songs are often structured the same, so good.
Pretty much everything by Avril Lavigne.
Loved what the hell by her
Have you heard the recent album with the Blink 182 guys? Travis Barker drums with Avril’s vocals are great.
Oh wow. Yeah I have it but didn’t realise the Blink 182 guys were involved till now.
I’m the same way, but mine is “Toxic” also by Brittany.
Pretty much anything by Marina and the Diamonds. Specifically Pimadonna Girl, though.
My wife got me into Rihanna, and Lana Del Ray.
Call Me Maybe, such a banger
Songs by Pink! They normally got a good drive to them and sound great!
Vanessa Paradis 😊
I guess a good bit of Emilie Autumn could fall into that class if I where to put tags on it.
The Beaches - Blame Brett
Go ahead and just shoot me now…
E.T. - Katy Perry
My friend in Katy! Such a banger.
Not a fan of the Kanye version though.
This is a very good one.
Jolene - Dolly Parton
Straight banger
I don’t know of any particular song but I like a lot of female pop artists that as a guy I am not supposed to like. I like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and all the rest of them as well as genie in a bottle by Christina Aguilera and some Britney Spears. Quite frankly, I don’t give a fuck what other people think about me. If you don’t like me, then it’s probably best that we not talk with each other anyway.
“That as a guy I am not supposed to like.”
Right in the feels, man.
it’s more interesting to me you think Britney Spears wasn’t marketed towards men.
