I have to sing a song from before 1986 or I can write a paper filled with interesting facts about a composer...I'm interested in both, but I don't listen to music from before 1986. I need help!

Sing something like the National Anthem or Amazing Grace! Those are definitely before 1986.
And you are missing out on some good music if you don't listen to anything before 1986, by the way.

I like the occasional scream in bands that mainly sing. I like some bands that sing/scream/growl. I don't really like raps in Rock songs for the most part. I like some Rap music, but Rap-rock isn't very appealing to me. I really don't have a preferred style of singing and that shows in my top two bands. Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses has a very high pitched voice, while Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy has a /very/ low voice. A level of talent is required for me, I'm not saying it has to be outstanding, but I don't want to listen to a voice that is completely out of tune.

How about "Cry Me A River?" Julie London's version is terrific, and it's vocal jazz from 1953.
"Take Back Your Mink" from Guys & Dolls (1950). It's a very fun song.
And there's always "Happy Birthday To You" which was written in 1893.
As for composers, I'd recommend Harold Arlen (the man who wrote the songs for The Wizard of Oz), Stephen Sondheim (who wrote the lyrics to West Side Story) or Allen Toussaint (responsible for tons of great New Orleans rhythm & blues classics).
If you want to write about female songwriters, try Betty Comden, Dorothy Fields or Bessie Smith.

Why don't you sing...
--> For your eyes only by Sheena Easton (1981 hit, OST James Bond)
or
--> Freeway of Love by Aretha Franklin (1985 hit)
All good tunes.
Count as Pop.

I saw an interesting program about George Gershwin recently on PBS.. he did a lot of Broadway show tunes that are still around today as classics.

What about disco? Try doing a paper on the BeeGee's or ABBA or something.
