This and the two albums that came after are fantastic powerpop
>>
>>66162876
I'm having a really hard time choosing a favorite between

#1 Record --> Radio City --> Third
&
Cheap Trick --> In Color --> Heaven Tonight

They are equally the best the genre has to offer.

Since Big Star and Chris Bell are taken care of, the Raspberries' Fresh album is fantastic too. So are their other three.

also lmao calling boston dadrock when most power pop (ala cheap trick) can literally be described as beatles and move influenced arena rock
>>
>>66161431
I agree that Weezer is better than Boston, but they don't come close to Cheap Trick or Big Star.
>>
>>66163680
Fuck outta here, Boston is the shit, Weezer is for faggots.

this is goood,
also Big Star and the Replacements are GOAT

Green - White Soul

It's Scarufficore, but I swear, it's easily among the best. Puts Weezer to shame. Too bad it's one of those forgotten bands that have received very little attention.

let's get some classic power-pop deep cuts in here

the Children of Nuggets box is essential listening for any power-pop fan

Rhino's Poptopia comps are good too

I've found some GOAT pop songs on power-pop compilations

>Sloan
are you from canada or do you just really like the beatles?
>>
>>66164800
This. Such a great album. Elaine Mackenzie is pretty good too.
>>
By Divine Right - Speak & Spell US
>>
>>66165955
All of their albums are really damn good with the exception of maybe Parallel Play and Commonwealth but even those have their moments. Personal favourite is Never Hear the End of It.
>>
>>66166088
this album sounds exactly like abbey road its the lamest thing ive heard

sloan is nobodies favorite band

Will Birch from The Records made a power-pop compilation, called C-90, for Mojo in 1990 that's really good. Uses a bit of a loose concept of power-pop, lots of nice gems. Here's a mixcloud of it:

and the tracklist and Birch's notes:

I downloaded it from some power-pop blog years ago but it's buried on some hdd somewhere so I can't find it to upload it.
