90. The Beat
'Let's talk about ourselves on the floor..'
The Beat certainly had a Flamin' Groovies influence and also their Power Pop moments. This especially.
89.Joe Jackson
'Ex-friends, ex-lovers and enemies. I've got your case in front of me today. All sewn up.'
Another from the same neck of the woods and point of time. First track on his first album I'm The Man.
88. Velvet Crush
'Life on the phone. And wasted time at home...'
Rhode Island band from the nineties. What do you mean it sounds like Teenage Fanclub?
87. The Motors
'You've got a smiling face. You took the one I love so far away...'
Perhaps I'm breaking some rules here, but hey this is my blog and these here are my rules. Perhaps the keyboards are more prominent than the guitars but tell me that it's not great pop. And reasonably powerful. Hey, it's only Number 87!
86. Bill Lloyd
'I was a big surprise to the bride and groom. When I set up shop in my mother's womb...'
Now to one of the mainstays of classic Power Pop. Lots of Costello and Nick Lowe here. From his most recent album, 2012's record of the same name.
