sure you get a couple tunes a year that are memorable and have great hooks if your lucky but lately i've noticed that there have been a lot more in the pop genre and alternative lately
just a few in recent weeks
Miley Cyrus-Party In The Usa (yes i know it's Miley but this is an excellent song)

Fefe Dobson-I Want You

Mika-We Are Golden

Muse-Uprising

hopefully this a sign of good things to come where the songs are upbeat,have great hooks and are just fun like they were in the 80's

Phoenix - Lisztomania
