Power Pop
Power pop (also typeset as powerpop) is a form of pop rock based on the early music of bands such as the Who, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Byrds. It typically incorporates melodic hooks, vocal harmonies, an energetic performance, and cheerful sounding music underpinned by a sense of yearning, longing, or despair. The sound is primarily rooted in pop and rock traditions of the early to mid-1960s, although some acts have occasionally drawn from later styles such as punk, new wave, glam rock, pub rock, college rock, and neo-psychedelia. Originating in the 1960s, power pop developed mainly among American musicians who came of age during the British Invasion. Many of these young musicians wished to retain the "teenage innocence" of pop and rebelled against newer forms of rock music that were thought to be pretentious and inaccessible. The term was coined in 1967 by the Who guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend to describe his band's style of music. However, power pop bec ...

Their fifth album, ''Autoamerican'' (1980), afforded Harry and the band further attention, spawning such hits as a cover of "The Tide Is High", and " Rapture", the latter of which is considered the first rap song to chart at number one i ...

Big Money Item
''Big Money Item'' is an album by the American power pop band the Greenberry Woods, released in 1995. The band broke up two weeks after its release. "Smash-Up" and "Super Geek" were released as singles. Production The album was produced by Andy Paley. The songwriting was equally divided among guitar players Matt and Brandt Huseman and bass player Ira Katz. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' called ''Big Money Item'' "superb stuff, but overly derivative." ''The Baltimore Sun'' thought that it "boasts enough beautiful minor-key melodies and lush, soaring harmonies to put any listener in mind of ''Rubber Soul'' and ''Revolver''." ''The Record'' opined that "the quartet makes affecting, careful pop look so effortless that it's easy to underestimate their tremendous accomplishment." The '' St. Petersburg Times '' wrote: "Like Squeeze and Crowded House at their least self-indulgent, the Beach Boys sans their one-trick-pony musical clichés, the Posies fulfilling their early promise, ...
