You know what I mean, not necessarily popular, though they might be. "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel or "Waterloo Sunset" by the Kinks or "The Brides Have Hit Glass" by Guided by Voices are all good examples.

This one almost falls into the "guilty pleasures" category, but we are talking pop songs and I'm too old to feel guilty about any pleasures. I just love this song ...

Excellent, excellent choice. Proving that you do not need a Rick Wakeman-esque keyboard player, or have Eddie VanHalen laying his riffs down, to make great pop music! The Ohio Express played songs I could play on a guitar!

No guilt required... great tune. It used to be covered by a Detroit band I followed back in the day, and it also looked like it was great fun to play.

Okay, last one. For my money, the high water mark of the power pop era ...

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
