Always up for power pop, but especially this time of year. (Don't know exactly how to define it, except: I love it at first listen.) Hit me.

You were up late... So there is a decent bandwidth of power pop. Let me know if this is too up-tempo for you and that will let me hone in a bit.

Excellent, all.

cuethesun: I was hoping someone who owns Cheap Trick's entire discography, and whose handle could be an alternative title for this thread, would chime in.

lanky: Tempo can't be too up. Slower is just fine, too. Either way, that was perfect, especially since it was a band I'd never heard of before.

Another group I hadn't heard of until my friends' high school band, in '81-82, covered a couple of tracks off "Present Tense." Almost instantly, they became "this is for Dave" songs.
