Men Without Hats - Pop Goes The World (1987)

Men Without Hats - Pop Goes The World 

     "Pop Goes The World" was the third album released by Quebec's 80's synth pop band which IMHO was the best album they ever released.    Ivan, Jenny, Johnny and J Bonhomme play their vintage synth pop sounds with guest appearance from Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson.    


   Believe it or not this was a concept album and although hits all the right pop buttons it also hits some pretty cool music buttons !!!


   Songs like "Moonbeam", "Pop Goes The World", and "Walk On Water" are etched in my mind forever.     This is a great pop album and one that I still play some 20+ years later and enjoy from side A to the end of Side B.
