Power Pop In The Mainstream

Started by Scott Larson. Last reply by maximum jack Jan 7, 2012. 31 Replies

Power Pop is a genre unto itself, however every now and then a mainstream music artist will dip their toes in its effervescent pool of hookyness.  My challenge to you is to make a list of mainstream…Continue

POWER POP PRIME - my latest, obsessive book is done and out.  300 pages(plus a CD) sheer power pop geekdom.  http://www.goodmusicguy.com/power-pop-prime-volume-one/

FYI, there are two other books in the series that are out, too - details at:  http://www.popgeekheavenstore.com

Someone shared this with me on Facebook. I thought it would be great here too. Forgive me if it has already been posted.

I posted a CRY! video a few months back in this very thread.  Wish I lived closer, I would be there.  Maybe they'll hit Atlanta . . .

Anyone love The Cry! as I do?  If you are within driving distance, my OH buddies and I have booked Portland. OR power pop sensations The Cry! -- they are coming to Cedars Lounge in Youngstown, OH on June 9th! Be there!

First, not obvious from the post, this is the entire disk streamed for your listening pleasure.  And into about song four....that is pretty fine.

Comment by Curt Vance on April 11, 2012 at 12:42pm

Does anyone like this one as much as I do?

Comment by Stan Schwieger on March 31, 2012 at 9:31am

Len Price 3-Pictures!  Influences so thick (Records, Joe Jackson, and the Jam) but who cares?   Let's rock!

Comment by Stan Schwieger on March 31, 2012 at 9:30am

Oh, how about another from The Len Price 3?  (Why not?  Isn't excess always better?)

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
