My favorite music genre is pop.
1_Wizard
 I do like pop music but I believe a lot of it is formulic with typical short to medium song lengths in a basic verse - chorus structure. The chord progressions are similar as well.

What are some famous pop artists?
1_Wizard
 I think one of the best pop albums of all time was the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album. Brian Wilson, the band leader is one of the most innovative and significant song writers and producers of the 20th century.

I think that was a good album. The Beach Boys had a lot of hit songs! Who is the most popular pop artist?

Wilson struggled significantly from mental illness and he was known for his unorthodox approach to composition and mastery in the recording studio. I think the Beatles are there only true rival of that era..

Who sold more albums the beatles or the beach boys?
1_Wizard
The Beatles definitely sold more albums. As Beatlemania emerged in 1963 with the British invasion they were integral to pop music's evolution into an artistic form. They were one of the biggest proponents of the psychedelic movement and significantly shaped the last few years of that decade.
