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!

        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.
