CHEAP POWER POP HEAT

[@dabbatecustomguitars]

Steve! Still the most knowledgeable music person I've known in my entire life! Well done!

[@stereo999]

It all started because I would love to go out and dig through bins of records whenever I was bored, and I got bored a lot. So now I'm full of trivia lol

[@deancronin6934]

Cool records thanks for the pro tip on the power pop

Hey Steve, keep hearing about the Shoes… I need to dip my toe in those waters. Looking sharp brother! Great video. Cheers, Jack

Cool selection of power pop I don’t have any of those albums Thought for sure you would show the Knack…. Take care Brian ☮️

[@stereo999]

@@BoomKazoo2112 I almost did show The Knack but I figured everyone has heard them. Ever heard SKY? (Doug Fieger's prior band from 71)

The Jags rule❣️ So hard to find! Any of it is great!

I have a lot of those. That Bottles track is a good one, slapped it on a couple mixes back in the day, but yeah, those guys sank like a stone. Never heard mention of that one until here. Powerpop is a genre I was introduced to from my first record store boss Gary Sperrazza. He wrote and edited a lot of stuff for Bomp including about 90% of the "Powerpop" issue.

Modern shoutout. Check out the Checkered Hearts everybody on Die Laughing. You’ll like it. Great covers🤘

Love the Rollers! Check out Voxx and Ricochet (subsequent albums), methinks you gave me that Records 7" bonus album. You look like Rick Nielsen in the vid! 🙌

[@wayneschroederGONG]

Ugh - meant Rick Nielsen!

Have to add: Code Blue (esp the song Whisper/Touch) Payola$ from Canada where The Kings are also from This Beat Goes On/Switching To Glide Top power pop band on Stiff Records from USA Dirty Looks 🤘 Sofa King good 👏®️

[@stereo999]

I have a Code Blue 4 song ep

[@Rawblah]

@@stereo999 I went to this My Aim Is True anniversary show at GAMH with basically Clover as the band and EC mentioned the drummer was from Code Blue, a band from Malibu or something. I felt like the only one who knew what he meant hahaha That one song rocks for sure too /m/

[@stereo999]

@@Rawblah Code Blue definitely had their "bouncy new wave" thing down and had some good guitar riffs. Judging by the flyer inside my promo ep, Warner Bros had high hopes for them to be huge but alas, didn't happen

Power prog rock🤣

@@Rawblah that CD you gave me was pretty rockin
