No, but you are correct that they are criminally underrated or unknown.I had my fingers crossed that they would mention Jellyfish. I need help because I think I am the only person on earth that mourns the fact that there are only two full length releases from Andy Sturmer and Jellyfish.
Agree, but the article could have gone on to talk about the continuation of power pop. Fountains of Wayne, Fastball, Marcy Playground...There were a few omissions from the time frame in question (Split Enz anyone?) but I think the article was meant to cover the emergence of the genre rather than provide an in-depth history. The Cars and The Producers were mentioned but those bands were active in the late 70's. Jellyfish was much later.
Yeah, I think the writer's personal faves got a little more attention than was strictly necessary. I enjoyed Bill Lloyd in Foster & Lloyd but c'mon.That Nick Lowe was given no more than a passing reference is criminal.
So you didn't read the article then?The Raspberries are another great Power Pop band.
Overnight Sensation is a fantastic song.
Go All The Way is the perfect power pop song IMHO. Some of my earliest musical memories are hearing that song on a small transistor AM radio.The Raspberries are another great Power Pop band.
Overnight Sensation is a fantastic song.
I know this wasn't directed to me, but I read the article 3 1/2 years ago when it was publishedSo you didn't read the article then?![]()
Love this song but I have to give the nod to I Wanna Be With You as being even better!Go All The Way is the perfect power pop song IMHO. Some of my earliest musical memories are hearing that song on a small transistor AM radio.
Another great one! And yet another is Tonight!Love this song but I have to give the nod to I Wanna Be With You as being even better!
