This morning, Jill spun some ABBA for her Vinyl Tap pick - "Fernando" off of their Greatest Hits album. It got us in the mood for some sunshine pop on a cold day where temperatures are dropping as the day goes on and might get as low as -6.

What is sunshine pop? It's upbeat, it's positive, it's music in a mainstream pop style with rich harmony vocals, lush orchestrations, and relentless good cheer. And we're looking for instances of it throughout the ages - not just from one particular time period.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what sunshine pop songs do you want to hear?
