	The New England Pop Music Festival
		Pop's standards of what makes a well-constructed song still apply to much of rock, which strives for memorable tunes and clear sentiments; the tension between pop virtues (such as sophisticated chord structures and unusual melodic twists), and incantatory, formulaic blues elements animates much of the best rock, like that of the Beatles."
		Pop includes "power pop" and "pop/rock," but is not limited to those.
		Pop music can be based on any number of styles, including folk, country, punk, blues, reggae, garage rock, as well as many others.

	Pop standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that Classic pop be merged into this article or section.
		The term pop standards refers to an American songwriting, arranging, and singing style that is widely considered as the high point of Western vocal popular music.
		Over time, these distinctions have become less clear, but the term "traditional pop music" is used to include all three of the above classes, whereas "pop standards" is only the last.

	Classic pop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The distinction between classic pop and the popular music of the aforementioned time period lies in an enduring appeal of the greatest of these songs, long after their time of being "chart hits," although methods for measuring commercial appeal changed greatly over the course of the twentieth century.
		The greatest of the classic pop writers achieved this with regularity, although many classic pop standards, such as "Learning the Blues" by Dolores Silver, were their era's version of one hit wonders, written by individuals never again writing a song that eventually became considered a standard.
		Arguably, the last of the great classic pop songwriters, using rock and roll instrumentation but with arrangements and compositions in the spirit of predecessors from the earlier era, are Burt Bacharach along with his partner Hal David.

	POP REVIEW; Standards, Unstandard - New York Times
		Boz Scaggs has always skated between the cracks of musical genres, from hard blues to folk-rock to the high-gloss pop-disco of his biggest hit, ''Lowdown.'' So it really shouldn't be surprising that he recently released a traditional pop-jazz album of songs like ''What's New'' and ''But Beautiful,'' recorded with a jazz quartet.
		The very roughness of his voice lent his ballad singing a cragginess that suggested a lot of hard emotional gravel under the polished surface.
		Scaggs and his quartet kicked the standards into gear with a steady rhythmic punch, his interpretations went against the grain of the words.

		POP is a small protocol whose only purpose is to download messages from a server.
		The POP protocol is defined by RFC 1939, and functions across TCP port 110.
		The reason why this is such a problem is because if POP were the only standard for downloading messages, users would have to save their messages locally.

	Standards
		Most standards -- not all; some are pieces written by jazz composers -- started out as pop songs, numbers in Broadway musicals or movie soundtracks.
		As the son of pop singer Sandy Stewart and Broadway composer "Moose" Charlap, who wrote the music for "Peter Pan," Bill Charlap saw important composers of popular music of the day visiting his Manhattan home.
		Basically, it's a tune that is interesting to play, that we all enjoy and so it becomes part of the tradition," says Camilo, at 47 a young veteran who has seen a couple of his jazz pieces edge into the repertoire.

		His CD is an eclectic collection of jazz and pop standards that are not often heard on any other crooner's repertoire.
		Douglas has transformed from a man known to millions as a heavy-hearted patriarch and morally-sound cosmetics mogul to a sweet-talking singer with sophisticated pop-jazz narratives that adhere to a rigid structure and bow to the masters of his time.
		Pop music has recently seen earthy crooning soul reappear on the charts in the form of Michael Buble and Norah Jones — two artists Douglas finally approves of, but he still thinks music fans his age are not quite sure where to turn to when it comes to new music.

	Standards and pop songs for wedding reception \| Ask MetaFilter
		Yet another wedding music question: my sister has asked me to help her out by compiling a list of "standards and pop songs" for the DJ to play at her wedding.
		I'm clueless about standards and when I think of dj-friendly pop songs, I think of songs like Celebrate, Breakout and I've Had the Time of my Life (yeah, it's been a while since I've been to a wedding), and I don't think anyone wants to hear songs like that.
		This is the sort of thing that the DJ is supposed to do, so other than high level guidance ('standards and pop songs but no country' for example) and any specific requests she might have, she shouldn't need to provide a ton of input.

	Ray Charles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was a pioneering American pianist and soul musician who shaped the sound of rhythm and blues and brought a soulful sound to everything from country music to pop standards to a now-famous rendition of "America the Beautiful." Frank Sinatra called him "the only true genius in the business."
		Ray Charles Robinson was born in Albany, Georgia to Bailey and Aretha Robinson.
		He left behind his classic formulation of rhythm and blues to sing country music, pop songs, and soft-drink commercials.

	MUSIC REVIEW; Reconceiving 70's Favorites As Pop-Jazz Standards - New York Times
		The jazz singer Karrin Allyson is young enough to have fallen in love with 70's singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Elton John and Carly Simon while growing up, and she's sophisticated enough to envision their songs in a pop-jazz continuum that goes far beyond the soft-rock genre they helped define.
		Her show intersperses them with vintage chestnuts, bossa nova and bebop in a program that changes from set to set.
		It turns out the songs stand on their own and are surprisingly amenable to outside interpretation.

		The Standards have an admitted love for the classic British "B" bands like Bowie, The Beatles and Badfinger, which is evident from their high energy power-pop.
		The Standards are three way harmonies and a lead singer who has a signature jubilance, but it’s the confidence of the songs and arrangements that shine here.
		They shared the same love of the classic pop song and lack of it in the surrounding musical climate, things HAD'to change!.They often share the same bed when on tour also.Then they were 3 and that's the way we want it to stay, all singing, all playing, all writing.

		Manufacturers and shippers of hazardous materials must take a critical look at how their companies will deal with these new standards when they purchase packaging to be used in the transportation of hazardous materials.
		This included the adoption of standards that could be used by all nations which based packaging not so much on design as the ability of a given package to pass performance tests.
		Many argue that the real problem is not with performance-based standards but with the actual tests that do not, in the opinion of experienced companies, associations, and state agencies, adequately reflect a real-world transportation environment in the US.

	Alternative Pop/Rock - Standards The Alarm / CD / 1990
		By the time the career retrospective Standards was released in late 1990, the band had already been somewhat forgotten, partially because they never had a big crossover hit, and also because they were forever tied to the Reagan/Thatcher era.
		Consequently, the Alarm were relegated to also-ran status and nearly forgotten by anyone who didn't actively read the music press in the '80s -- not an entirely fair fate, yet not an entirely undeserved one either.
		Listening to Standards, a thoroughly representative, basic collection of their singles and significant album tracks, confirms that the band were certainly not without talent or charms, but they suffered at the hands of state-of-the-art record production.

		But, Smokey was also drawn to the golden era of swing, a time when a singer was called a crooner, the song was king, and composers George Gershwin and Cole Porter were all the rage.
		By the time Smokey Robinson arrived at Motown Records in 1959, he was already well-versed in pop songwriting, a talent that impressed Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jr., so much he appointed Smokey Vice President of the rising Detroit label.

	Stop with the pop-ups! - Feb. 12, 2002
		Difficult economic times and a sharp decline in online advertising spending have led to a huge proliferation of so-called "pop-up" ads, which cause a new window to open up on the computer's desktop when a user either first opens or tries to close a Web page.
		Many of them have relaxed their standards, accepting pop-up ads where a year ago they would not have.
		At the same time, Web surfers, who have become accustomed to an abundance of free, high-quality Internet content, have been barraged by pop-up ads, which without a broadband Internet connection and a high-end computer system often can slow a PC down to a crawl or even cause it to freeze.

	Filmtracks: The Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber)
		Those standards are particularly interesting here, because Webber's most public statement involving the film version of The Phantom of the Opera has been that he holds extremely high standards for the vocals.
		Minnie Driver does not perform her own operatic vocals (she's talented in a more modern pop sense, as heard in the new closing credits, but does not have the talent necessary for the role of Carlotta), but Carlotta vocalist Margaret Preece lacks the ability to sing with the convincing pompousness needed for the role.
		The orchestra is less powerful in its propulsive background rhythm, and where a lighter acoustic guitar has replaced the electric bass, an electric guitar has been allowed to wail away in the background.

	No Consensus on Future of Pop-Ups
		The IAB's director of industry initiatives, Adam Gelles, described the meeting as the first step toward standards for pop-ups, which could include requirements such as the mandatory labeling of pop-up and pop-under ads served by sites, or the adoption of uniform frequency caps.
		However, even Naylor cautioned that standards and frequency caps were unlikely to solve the pop-up problem, since sites outside the IAB, as well as adware companies, would continue to serve untargeted and uncapped pop-ups.
