Name A Great Power Pop Tune

The Shazam - Sunshine Tonight

 

This would have made a hell of a great single!

 

Anyone else here in the POWERPOPALOOZA Facebook group? I just joined. (Facebook haters need not reply)

 

Thanks for the tip. Looks like an interesting group.

 

In page 17 of this topic someone mentioned The Stems a great 80's ban from Australia but not this song in particular. I never grow tired of listening to this gem

The Stems - At First Sight

 

Los Negativos. Spanish 80' pop banda

Pasando el tiempo

 

"We Got The Beat ~ Go-Go's" Stiff Records ‎– BUY 78:

"If It Ain't Stiff, It Ain't Worth A... "

 

Dwight Twilley Band - That I Remember

 

I'll admit I didn't read all 22 pages, but here are a few great ones I didn't see mentioned:

Precious To Me (Phil Seymour)
Your Number Or Your Name (The Knack)
Someday Someway (Marshall Crenshaw)
Into Your Arms (The Lemonheads)
Girl Of My Dreams (Bram Tchaikowsky)
What I Like About You (The Romantics)

 

I just listened to a few good ones today, like "On The Highway" and "You Won't Be Happy" by Paul Collins' Beat. I listened to both Orson albums the other day - highly melodic pop/rock that was never even released in the US, despite the band being from here.

 

Tonight by Raspberries.

 

The Shoes

 

Moonage Daydream, Fame, and Suffragette City could all be runners up.

 

The Stems were excellent! I saw their reunion in 2008 and was quite impressed.

 

I remember many years ago, Twilley was labeled to be "butt rock." I never understood how that description originated, considering he was quite popular with the females.

 

I'm with you on my love of power pop. For me a favorite is the first track on Bill Lloyd's appropriately titled album entitled Set To Pop.
The song title is "I Went Electric"

Good of you to mention Bill Lloyd! I enjoyed his group Foster & Lloyd, Bill and Radney of course.

 

One of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite albums:

 

The Flashing Lights - Same Thing Twice

 

Candy - Whatever Happened To Fun

 

Radio Birdman - Breaks My Heart

 

I really liked that. Thanks!

 

Here's Five I enjoy!

Joe Jackson - I'm the Man
Lemonheads - Into Your Arms
Cheap Trick - Surrender
Tom Petty - Rockin' Around with You
The Cars - Just What I Needed

 

Dom Mariani and Darryl Mather really know how to make really great pop tunes. In this case with The Someloves
