10 QUOTES WITH «POP»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word pop.
1
Kris Allen
I love pop music, but I love pop music that does something a little bit different.
2
Ian Axel
It's different for every song. But for 'Say Something,' I think it was Chad who had an idea on guitar, and I had an idea on piano for different songs, and we just married them together. We bounce things off each other constantly and kind of massage all these ideas into a three and a half minute pop song.
3
Kevin Ayers
The music we made then was so amateurish, compared to the rest of mainstream pop or rock and roll. But what differentiated us from what everybody else was doing in the business was the fact that you could tell that these people came from different reference areas.
4
Walter Becker
My primary influences were the best jazz players from the 50's and 60's and later some of the pop people from the same time period along with the better of the well known blues musicians.
5
Andrew Bird
All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song.
6
Jake Bugg
I don't care about the word 'pop'. The Beatles were pop; it's just what's popular.
7
Geezer Butler
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.
8
David Chase
Once the subject matter of rock n' roll changed from cars and pop love songs to songs about really true love and the blues and death and mortality, this light bulb went off in my head and I went, 'Oh, that's what they're doing. That's kind of - that's art.'
9
Jarvis Cocker
Well, once you've resigned yourself to the fact that you are the more mature pop performer and you're past the age you ever thought you would do it, you might as well do it as long as you can. As long as I can still lift a microphone, then I'll do it, you know.
10
John Corigliano
The structural thinking I use in the concert hall is unnecessary to most film projects, and most film composers make better use of the enormous range of pop and other materials and techniques required of them than I probably would, faced with the same challenge.
