Anyone got any recommendations? I'm looking for something catchy to get me through the summer - preferably pop/rock.

Third Eye Blind
Buffalo Tom
The Sundays
Blink 182
etc.
 
I like quite a bit but recently I like that carley rae cyrus...whatever her name is song. That Call Me Maybe song. Really catchy.
 
I don't listen to a whole lot of pop, but punk has some good stuff. Off the top of my head.

Social Distortion
Rise Against
Tsunami Bomb
Goldfinger
Bad Religion
Millencolin

And another suggestion which is kind off the wall, but I like these guys, in part since they cover so many different music styles:

Actually...one more suggestion. Not a pop band by a long stretch, but they do cover a lot of pop songs, so...why not:

[quote name='dohdough']Miley Cyrus. Not kidding. Her reductive pop stylings are catchy as hell. Selena Gomez too.[/QUOTE]

Not that there's anything wrong with this sort of pop but it's not what I'm looking for.

That Foster The People album is great.

Oops didnt see you were looking for recommendations. I don't really know anyone new but here are some that I used to listen to all the time:

Say Anything - Say Anything
Brand New - Deja Entendu (their best imo but "your favorite weapon" is the more poppy album and is also good)
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
Bush - Sixteen Stone

Others:
Hidden In Plain View
Mayday Parade
Jimmy Eat World

Edit: If anyone else knows some more current bands like this then let me know please.

Britney Spears- Toxic

Cyndi Lauper- Girls Just wanna have fun, Time after time

Eiffel 65- all of europop

Enya- Wild Child, Only Time

Federal Dobson- Take Me Away

Goo Goo Dolls- Iris

Gwen Stefani- what you waiting for, the real thing

Haddaway- What is love

Joe Budden- Pump it up

Paradisio- Bailando

Paula Cole- Where have all the cowboys gone

Real McCoy- Another Night

Robert Teper- No Easy way out

Savage Garden- I wanna stand with you

Sixpence none the richer- kiss me

Sunshine Anderson- Heard it all before

Oh yeah Taylor Swift is amazing. So many good songs. I'm not even ashamed to admit I like her.

Edit: One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful is another I like

Edit again: You might like Mat Kearney? He's christian alt/rock I guess? He's got some songs I like though.
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars was a good song a few years ago.

[quote name='Scorch']Your secret shame thread was better :)

I love 90's stuff.[/QUOTE]

Damn your search-fu is way better than mine. I was looking for that thread and I even remembered the name but nothing was coming up on a search for me. I should change the title of this one - I'm definitely not after Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, One Direction, etc. but whoever suggested the Gin Blossoms is on the right track.

Early 90s stuff is where it's at. What a great time for music.
 
If you want early 90s, Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know rocks surprisingly hard in retrospect. She's belting at near-Tom Jones levels in that tune.

It's a karaoke staple, now, you can't not do You Oughta.

There's not much from the early 90s that was popular at that time that I'm not aware of. Those were the glory years. Jagged Little Pill is still awesome to listen to every now and then. That whole album pretty much kicks ass from start to finish. Same thing with Cracked Rear View, August and Everything After, Grave Dancer's Union, and a shit ton more.
 
Let us not forget "Pop" was originally short for "Popular" and not a musical genre in and of itself.

For Pop:
Serina Paris's first album: "Baby Look At Us"
Geri Halliwell first album
Se7en's first and second album
E-Rotic(Swedish Pop stylings that are completely in English and lampoon Bubblegum Pop in the best way)
Captain Jack
Anything from Crystal Kay
Nodesha "Get It While It's Hot"
Charlotte Church "Say My Name"
DJ D.O.C. "One Night"
Most things by X-Treme. Italian dance group from DDR. Some great remixes from them. One of my favor dance group tracks.

Rock:
"Tough Enough" by Vanilla Ninja
Anything by Mika Nakashima off the "Nana" soundtrack
"Paint It Black" by Utada Hikaru
Namie Amuro's album Concentration
"Destruction Of the Shell" by N.EX.T.
"I Am Trash/Trashman" by N.EX.T.
Most things by Novasonic

R&B:
Shola Ama "Imagine"(she's a UK artist who has never been released here because the market was too saturated here at the time and none of the labels wanted to lose money to her sales I suspect)
Crystal Kay "Make Me Whole"(the best version of this song as far as I'm concerned over Amel Larrieux's version)

edit: Oh and did you add anything new to Bella's cab Javery?
 
Get the Fun. record "Some Nights" or "Aim & Ignite" (and while you're at it, The Format's "Interventions & Lullabies" and "Dog Problems").
 
Pop I've been listening to lately:

Little Joy
Glacier Hiking
Discovery
The Naked and Famous
M83 (newer albums are more "pop" I think)
And...George Michael - Monkey! (album version)
 
rihanna - where have you been
maroon 5 - payphone
katy perry - wide awake
b.o.b. - so hard to breathe
usher - scream
 
The Birthday Massacre is great. Its kinda like 80s synth pop meets goth and industrial with an air of dreamyness to it. Plus the lead singer, Chibi, her voice is freaking beautiful
