Talk:Sunshine pop

Hi, I changed Baroque pop beacause Beach Boys was Baroque pop from 1965 with The Beach Boys Today! and Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) albums with its instrumentation such as zither, harpsichord, timpani, celesta, accordion. Modulation, harmony and sophisticated melody.

this many red links in the artists section? Should there be any? If someone is planning on turning those blue then this would be a good time and place to mention it. eek aka Carptrash (talk) 18:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

The Beatles' "Good Day Sunshine" would seem to be an epitome of this genre, but I cannot find a source that identifies it as such. As soon as we find one, we should put it on the page. I'll keep looking. DougHill (talk) 02:29, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

No one remove Tambourine it was used in back in the street again by the sunshine company. And tambourine sounds very upbeat instrument to use in sunshine pop.

Also I think the typical insturments should be what is found typically in this genre of music and not what someone thinnks should be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.89.236 (talk) 05:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

:Per WP:V, the typical instruments list should be verifiable. That is, some published source should be found to support the list entries. Binksternet (talk) 16:07, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

the line about this genre quickly faded in the early 70s because of 'hard rock, heavy metal...' is basically rubbish as the audiences for the two types of music were obviously completely different.About as sensible using a more recent analogy as saying 'hardcore techno faded after 1992 because of the emergence of boy bands' - in other words completely meaningless and to be honest just plain nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.98.80.38 (talk) 21:05, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

"...originated in Southern California in the mid 1960s. Rooted in easy listening and advertising jingles." Would this not describe pretty well The Carpenters? I would think they are the epitome of this style. Should they be added? They achieved success in the early 1970s but had their origins in the mid- to late-1960s. 2605:A601:53C0:A300:909:8C58:EA0:D892 (talk) 02:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

The music of Folk Pop singer Colbie Caillat matches up as a modern version of sunshine pop.

This article cherry picks its sources, with a highly opinionated POV result. And it makes it seem as if this is some obscure and long-lost form of art that had to be "rediscovered", when this just isn't true--there's never been a time when this stuff couldn't be found on grocery store or K-Mart playlists. Being "rediscovered" by elitist music snobs is a totally different thing. Finally there ought to be a redirect from "Soft pop" which is what most people know it as; as the article says, the term "sunshine pop" ... "was rarely deployed outside of record collecting circles". -- 2600:8802:5913:1700:2933:418D:684A:F15 (talk) 00:48, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
