    flawless pop songs.

    here's a thread to list pop songs that just completely transcend what a pop should be capable of doing.

    i'll start with a pretty safe choice...
    the beach boys - heroes & villains

    Depeche Mode: Enjoy the Silence

    I would say that most Beach Boys songs fit the bill, actually.

    I'm gonna go with...

    Yeah, most Beatles songs would work, but I think this is the best combination of strictly pop sensibility and complete transcendence that was mentioned in the OP.
    Also, I don't even really like the Beatles.

    This is a great pop song about trying to write a great pop song.
    Ignore the video-it's the only one I could find.

    Well, when I think of "Flawless" Pop, I think of basically any pop from the 50's and 60's, and, as HyeJinx1984 said, stuff like Depeche Mode and MJ.

    one of the most underrated 80's pop singles, in my opinion.
