Comments:

The Kids Ain't Hip -Chevelles Maybe some might say that this is not an album (only five songs), but is one of the very first records i bought, and represents what is Power Pop to me.

The Plimsouls - ...Plus Their first album is incredible and the zero hour ep a jewel...

Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix ...Or how a Power Pop band should sound in the 90's

Ramones - End of the Century Ramones+Phil Spector = Heaven

Material Issue - Destination Universe Maybe two of my all-time-top 20 songs are in this record: Destination you and So Easy to love somebody...

The Rubinoos - The Basement Tapes Their best record

I also enjoy records like Fountains of Wayne - Utopia Parkway or Chris Bell - I Am the Cosmos.
