Which genre?

[Corabar Entertainment]

At the risk of starting a riot......!

We always get 'arguments' about whether this or that is this genre or that genre etc, but it's usually because we are discussing songs/bands that are on the periphery of a style, or who borrow from different styles. However, to see if we more or less agree on 'the basics', go through the list below and say which band/artist springs immediately to mind as typical of that era/genre.

1. 60's Pop
2. 70's Pop
3. 80's Pop
