Power-pop?

[cshadows2887]

I'm really digging bands like The Raspberries and Big Star (two very different kinds of power-pop, I know). Any recommendations from anyone on where to go from there?

I know there's a recommendations forum, but we all know nobody actually goes there.

I mean what I say.

Cheap Trick. Then, their contemporaries, The New Pornographers.

Sloan never goes out of style either.

The Methadones later discography is really power pop-esque...especially if you like Dan Vapid. Also, Pointed Sticks.

Hey, actual power-pop. Kudos.

more modern, The Broken West

Lots of other good ones, but I'm tired.

I love Cheap Trick, I just thought if I made a post equating them, Big Star and The Raspberries, somebody might try and rip me apart. They all have a different brand of power-pop.

dude power pop is pop/rock/punk/whatever with lots of 60s pop/rock influences... I would recommend The Young Hasselhoffs, but you are only listing pop rock bands, so I don't really know if you'd like them based on that.

No worries. Big Star is worth repeating anyway.
