Today's assigment is "power pop" tunes. What is that, you ask? Well, it's music full of big guitars, lots of harmonies & catchy sing-a-long melodies. Pete Townshend coined the phrase back in the late 60' to descibe the Who's music.

When I think of "power pop," I think of bands like Big Star, Badfinger, Teenage Fanclub, Hoodoo Gurus, & the Redwalls. Until 3pm today, we''ll hear all of 'em and a few of yours as well...

This is a little late, I suppose, but you can't talk about power pop in this town without talking about The Hopefuls.
