Jangle Pop Music Genre Explained Part 2 of My Series: Jangle Pop 80s Bands to the Present!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Who are the ultimate jangle pop bands for you?!

[@tonym994]

now that I've been informed by you, the REPLACEMENTS would be my favorites. because I always liked that crazy drunken band w/ the great songwriter,Paul Westerberg,and because I never heard of most of these bands.thanx! I know who 8 of theses bands are. where do you find the time? rhetorical question.

[@brucybabyy7355]

1st 4 REM.

[@inasnowstorm1496]

Besides the one you already mentioned or will probably mention in part 3, I would recommend the band Real Estate, in my opinion the best jangle pop band of the last decade.

[@juanmiguelrivera5136]

REM and game theory for sure

[@PUNK86C]

English band East Village are very high on my list, there's a recent vinyl compilation on Slumberland Records (who also released the Springfields collection).

[@peterholsapple1320]

Thanks for the dB's love here, Hanna! Mary Lou Lord clued me into this series.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Oh my goodness! No way! Apologies if I'm at a loss for words at the moment. I'm incredibly humbled and in shock that Mary Lou Lord shared my little ol' channel! I had a blast sharing my passion for all things jangle, and the dB's and your subsequent work really played a big part in my love for the genre! P.S. I just got the Propeller Records set of "I Thought You Wanted to Know" in the mail and I'm so excited to listen to this release! Thank you, Mr. Holsapple!

[@peterholsapple1320]

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Hope you enjoy the new dB's collection! I look forward to exploring your videos here.

[@famousashtray]

Whoa!!!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Much thanks! Really, this is a treat for me! You'll find all things rock related on my channel...especially power pop, jangle, some classic rock, glam, alternative, and shoegaze! Once again, thank you for plethora of quality music you have blessed us with over the years!

[@Thorbie]

I know this is 3 years old, but I love this! I grew up on Gin Blossoms, REM and Polaris and didn’t put the pieces together that I loved Jangle Pop until I stumbled upon that descriptor for Gin Blossoms. I dove in head first and got into Stone Roses, Game Theory, The dB’s and basically never looked back 15 years later. I started a Spotify playlist during the pandemic and it’s gained more likes that I ever thought possible for something that I made just so I could listen to cool tunes while I work. I noticed you listed some bands that I had discovered over the last few years and that I had picked similar tracks to the ones you previewed! Makes me feel like we’re on the same wave length as Jangle Pop fans! I’d love it if you made more videos!

[@johnbrentford5513]

It's uncanny how much your taste in music parallels mine. It's like you have a list of everything I listen to and you went and bought it all unbelievable. I'm usually the guy who most people have never heard of my music.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I love the obscure gems! Of course not all of these are obscure, but they all deserved a mention! So great to connect with people here who have similar music taste!

[@mcpop3005]

Hi Hanna more jangle pop, right on! You showed so many of my faves including the dBs, Feelies, Dumptruck, Grapes of Wrath, Lloyd Cole, Guadalcanal Diary and Game Theory! As for the newer bands, I love Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Eyelids and Twerps. Can’t wait for the new RBCF album! Unfortunately Twerps split up but their leader Martin Frawley did release an excellent solo record on Merge last year you should check out. I will be looking into Spinning Coin. Thanks - Matt

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey Matt! Knew you'd be back for this one! I bet the new RBCF album will be great! Aww, I did not know Twerps split. Bummer! I'll check out Frawley's release. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you like Spinning Coin! Catch ya later!

[@patrickmccloskey2552]

Great video on jangle pop! I wonder if it was a coincidence that R.E.M. recorded “Chronic Town” in Winston-Salem N.C. where the DB’s were from.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Much thanks, Patrick! Mitch Easter is a Winston-Salem native I believe, so I guess that makes sense if Chronic Town was recorded there. Gotta love anything Mitch Easter touched, right? Love those early R.E.M. releases! Hope all is well! :-)

[@patrickmccloskey2552]

I'm a big fan of the I.R.S. years. The first three when they changed to Warner Bros were good as well. Afterwards they kinda lost me.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

My sentiments exactly. Couldn’t have said it better!

[@alancser1167]

If you haven't heard the Ocean Blue or the Railway Children give them a try.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I know of the Ocean Blue and have heard of the Railway Children, but have nothing in my collection by either...yet! Thanks for chiming in and hope all is well!

[@djangowest]

Great video Hanna! The Reivers are a favorite of mine, especially the Pop Beloved LP.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thank you kindly, Joe! I need to get that Pop Beloved album for sure! I appreciate you being here! Cheers!

[@coolfurillo8169]

Great video, Hanna. The Good Earth from The Feelies is one of my favourites of those years. Another ones in that vein that I like: -Fastbacks - Answer the phone dummy -Flop - Fall of the mopsqueezer -The Silos - Cuba -Magnolias - Off the hook -Biff Bang Pow - Oblivion -True West - Drifters -The Chevelles - Girl god

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks so much! I think I have seen a Magnolias LP before in a store, but I didn't quite know what their sound was. I might have a Fastbacks CD. I need to look! Cheers!

[@Flannelsurfer]

That intro was comedic gold. You are quickly becoming the KZbin queen of pop rock subgenres. I saw The Feelies open for Sonic Youth in 2008 and was so wowwed that I ran to the merch booth to buy the LP (and a t-shirt..) good stuff, keep it up!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thank you so much! My goal was to provide some more informative videos on the subgenres I'm passionate about, so I'm glad that is translating well on the KZbin medium! That Feelies/Sonic Youth show must have really been special, wow! I appreciate you watching and letting me know you liked this one! Cheers!

[@Flannelsurfer]

The Omaha Introvert yes that was a very memorable show indeed. I really like the approach and format of the videos, and it’s inspiring and provides value; I have been wanting forever to post my own videos, but I keep hesitating to post after I film them because I don’t have an intro/haven’t learned to edit yet. My own worst critic I guess.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Much thanks!!! You don’t need an intro to start a channel. I didn’t have one at first. I only use my iPhone to record my videos and then I edit using iMovie, which is free if you already have an iPhone or Mac. 😃😃 I hope you start a channel! It’s fun!

[@Flannelsurfer]

@@TheOmahaIntrovert after I said that, I started playing around and made a short intro anyway. Thank you for the encouragement, I will be posting a video soon!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

That is great news!

[@16tambourines6]

As always , a bang up job, and you have inspired me to start a channel as well, tons of brilliant bands, in this genre ....and you are spot on with your choices ....looking forward to part 3

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Yay, there's your channel name already! So happy you will be starting a channel. I'll sub and be a fan!

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Always loved your videos. I must admit I knew very little of this genre. Very informative. Thanks for doing it. Can’t wait for the rest of your vids. Cheers

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I'm so glad you like my genre series videos! They are worth putting the time into them as you all seem to be learning and enjoying them. Cheers! See you next time!

[@skrem23]

Yet another wonderful video, Hanna. I learned about several bands I need to check out for sure, and of course I am huge fans of a whole lot of the others you featured. Both Loyd Cole and the Commotion's "Rattlesnakes" and Del Amitri's debut are two of my favorite albums of all time. Throw in The Lucy Show, Dumptruck, Game Theory, Orange Juice, Trashcan Sinatras, The Feelies, Housemartins, Guadalcanal Diary, The dB's, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and most of all, The Replacements and Soul Asylum (biased, and lucky to grow up in Minneapolis in their heyday), and you have quite the amazing list wonderful bands. Lots of great information here, and lots of fun new bands I can't wait to check out. Thanks so much for sharing. It's Jangle-palooza!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Stephen! I'm glad I brought your attention to some bands you weren't too familiar with here. That was my goal! Wow, you indeed really grew up in Minneapolis at the right time! Love all these groups so much. I can tell you are passionate about this subgenre, too! It's jangle pop-tastic!

[@skrem23]

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever was the band that really jumped out at me (amongst a few others that I hadn't heard of in your Jangle part 2), and I have already checked them out and I am loving this band. How did they pass me by? Can't thank you enough for sharing this band. Now, on to discover more jangle-iciousness.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Absolutely. I'm glad you're digging RBCF! And just in time for their new album about to drop in June! Yay! :)

[@tinaferrazzoli8006]

Hello Hanna; Good to see the production manager make an appearance in the Jangle pop series. Juliana Hatfield an artist with a very melodic presence in her musical presentation , makes for easy listening. A wide variety of jangle pop groups shown. Both well known, semi known & groups that are obscure. Gives the viewer an opportunity to search out bands they may not have heard. As always a very informative video in the context of the genre presented, well explained. Take care. Stay healthy. Tina & Pat!~

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Tina and Pat! Grateful that you enjoyed this one. It took me hours and hours! I really wanted to shine a light on this genre. So many fantastic bands to talk about that make up this genre! Hope all is well. You both stay healthy, too!

[@corychang3901]

I haven't heard the term cowpunk in a long time. I love it! 👍

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hehe, it's a fun term, isn't it?! So glad you're enjoying my jangle pop series, Cory! Cheers!

[@BriansVinylRecords]

Great video Hanna! Love the Gin Blossoms. Most of these bands are new to me. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks, Brian! Gave you a lot to chew on here. Rock on! :-)

[@joshwellikoff]

Just discovered your videos. Love ‘em! Thanks for mentioning the close lobster. Other byrds-like British indie bands that must be checked out, particularly if you like the springfields: sea urchins, early primal scream, the chesterf!elds, razor cuts, bluebells. From the 60’s the merry-go-round are often forgotten (but emit Rhodes solo work makes many power-pop lists). Your taste in music is impeccable!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Why thank you, Joshua! So glad you're loving my content! I recently picked up Sisters from Bluebells as well as an early EP. I also finally found Sonic Flower Groove from Primal Scream on vinyl, my favorite from them! I've been meaning to check out the Chesterfields..thank you for the reminder! I need to look into Razor Cuts, too! I appreciate the suggestions!

[@mazzysmusic]

Translator is a band I used to see play around San Francisco all the time. They had a tight following. I love their first record best;especially the song Everywhere. Just perfect. Again a nice showcase Hanna. 🎸🎸🎸

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks, Mazzy. Very cool that you got to see Translator live several times. That first record is wonderful. Glad you liked this one! Cheers!

[@actfray]

Their third album (that Hanna showed here) is one of my desert island discs. I've played it to the point of exhaustion. There's not a bad song on it.

[@PUNK86C]

Perhaps you already know them - Greek band Fantastic Something were the epitome of jangle pop for me, especially their debut single "If She Doesn't Smile (It'll Rain)" from 1983 on Cherry Red Records.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

You can't go wrong with Cherry Red, so I'm definitely intrigued by Fantastic Something! Thank you for the recommendation! :-)

[@PUNK86C]

Their album from 1985 was on Blanco Y Negro, the label run by Mike Alway between Cherry Red and él, so that's a good one too. I don't know if anyone mentioned them in the comments of part 1, Wild Poppies were a jangly band from New Zealand (not on Flying Nun) that you might want to check out, if you haven't already. Their recordings were rereleased on Manufactured Recordings, a label associated with Captured Tracks.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I really appreciate these recommendations. I always keep a notebook beside my computer and write them down as I'm reading through all these awesome comments! Cheers!

[@PUNK86C]

My pleasure - and of course a few bands that you mentioned in the videos were new to me, especially the more recent ones. Looking forward to part 3!

[@DKentization]

Wow...you could truly teach a college level class on jangle pop. My favorite Prof...Dr. Hanna. Thanks a ton, this truly was a labor of love!!! I ran several record shops in Seattle and SoCal in the late 70's/early 80s and forgot how much I liked so many of the bands you mentioned. Looking forward to the Paisley Underground segment. The Byrds, were my earliest favs. All the dB's and Mitch Easter produced music in the early 80's...can't be topped. For the new stuff...I really like Twen the Nashville based Boston breed group...their debut album "Awestruck" is a interesting mix of Jangle, Dream pop, reverb-soaked rock. Certainly not a pure jangle pop play but very cool. Thanks again.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Dr. Hanna - LOL! You got it right in saying this was a labor of love. Ran into many editing problems with this video, but alas, it is complete! Mitch Easter was a genius! I'm curious about Twen! Always appreciate suggestions for new groups to check out. I'm glad I reminded you about many of these bands! Cheers and stay tuned for part 3 in the next few weeks!

[@johnpv0412]

Loved Part 2 ! And totally psyched about Part 3! Dude you put a lot of work into your videos, and it really shows. So many wonderful bands here, dB’s, Bongos, The Replacements, Aztec Camera, etc. My favorite though is Lloyd Cole’s “Rattlesnakes” album ❣️❣️❣️❣️Had a busy day today and it really was so nice to watch this..... take care your buddy John

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi there, John! I'm thrilled that you and others are enjoying this series! I do put work into these and it's not a hop, skip, and a jump! Hehe, but it's so worth it. Rattlesnakes is such a spectacular album. Perfection. Glad you are chilling after a long day! Be well!

[@IvanLendl87]

Love The dB’s too! I live in New Orleans and Peter Holsapple lived here for about 10 years (up to 2005/Hurricane Katrina). He had a great band here called The Continental Drifters whom I saw at least 30 times. But what was doubly-cool was on Sunday nights Peter would often play solo acoustic shows at either Carrollton Station or the Circle Bar. At the solo acoustic shows he’d play all of his dB’s material as well as songs off of Mavericks (w/Chris Stamey), his own solo albums plus cool covers of Big Star and Nick Drake. It was through Peter’s solo acoustic shows that I became familiar with The dB’s. The dB’s along with Big Star are way up there on the list of greatest bands to go criminally under the radar (though Big Star seems to finally have gotten their credit). The Reivers!!! End Of The Day is a lost classic album imo. “Star Telegram” is such a phenomenal song. The Rolling Blackouts C.P. yessss! I definitely hear a lot of Go Betweens in them. A great “new” band for sure. Game Theory’s Lolita Nation is a definite classic. Still listen to that album a lot. “The Waist And The Knees” is awesome. The Windbreakers’ “Time Machine” is on just about every Jangle Pop compilation I make. Cool that you dig them. Love your channel! It’s the best!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thank you, Ivan. Those were some kind words. I really appreciate your loyalty to my channel! I know I've probably turned some people off recently by focusing so much on these genres, but I like to stay true to what I'm passionate about on my channel. Yes, the Continental Drifters! My uncle introduced me to them years ago and burned me some of their CDs! Mavericks is one of my favorite albums of all time. I've listened to it so much! Can't wait to pick up more from the Reivers in the future. You may be the first to have mentioned the Windbreakers in the comments here. Kudos! I really like their Time Machine comp, too. Someone recently put it on a flash drive for me to enjoy! Cheers!

[@GrandmasHandbag]

Man I love that intro!! Cracks me the hell up :) (btw I watched Beeltejuice the movie for the first time a month or two ago, enjoyed the hell out of it!!). Man I need to get that first Feelies album, it's a pretty unique album with those circular rhythms, and so much percussion! Definitely love seeing all the oz stuff, thank you for covering all these homegrown bands (and for the lovely shoutout :) Good job on pointing out Nic Dalton and his Lemonheads connection. Also great score on the Huxton Creepers, well done again on that find. That'd be a $30 record here. Great description on Orange Juice; very interesting the other Glasgow bands you mentioned - I guess those bands influenced the indie pop scene of the 90s in Glasgow (Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura etc). Athens, GA another hotspot, Hoboken... it's interesting! Definitely hear Go-Be's in RBCF, they kinda mix that with a soft touch of Kings of Leon. Dentists are new to me, interesting britpop descriptor. Very nice on the Replacements collection, another band I need more of. So many artists known and unknown, Hanna, really great video. And a part 3!! So cool. Thanks for this one, cheers- Dean

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey Dean! Ohhh, you finally saw Beetlejuice! Glad you liked it, haha! I did have a little fun with my intro! I'd love to find an OG of that first Feelies album on vinyl. It is a great one. Wow, the Huxton Creepers I showed is a $30 record where you are?! I lucked out finding it. Just can't get over how many awesome Oz bands there are! Really fun discovering and listening to them all. Nice mention of Kings of Leon as a potential influence in RBCF. The Dentists are criminally overlooked. We all need more Replacements. :-) Hopefully I have less editing/technical difficulties with part 3! Ran out of disk space on the computer so I couldn't include as many song clips as I originally had lined up! D'oh! Catch ya later!

[@danakimborowicz5812]

Wow, lot of interesting jangle pop bands. A lot of 80s flashbacks. Thanks for the needle drops. Rolling Blackouts and the Dentists sound/ look interesting. Take care😀

Thanks, Dana! What a great decade with the 80s, right? Tons of stellar music! I'm glad I was able to provide some needle drops. Happy sampling! Cheers!

[@yourvicarofvinylvov2013]

Wow! Another great and informative video. Whenever you do one of these I always learn something about a few bands I have never heard of or if I have been exposed to them I haven't heard too much of their material. Dumptruck....wow...I had a friend in University that had a couple of their records and would play For The Country quite a bit. I remember liking that record. Very interesting including Blue Rodeo...as you mention I wouldn't have thought of them in this category but they definitely have elements of jangle for sure. Interesting note...In my early career (I am a Producer of commercials for all media), I cut my Producing teeth in the world of music videos and Produced a number of 90's videos for Canadian bands. I Produced one for one half of the Blue Rodeo main duo Greg Keelor. He was a gem of a human being to work with.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi David! I wouldn't necessarily have thought of Blue Rodeo in the jangle pop category, either, but they definitely have plenty of jangly tunes! Oh, very neat that you produced a video for Greg Keelor! Thank you for watching and commenting and I'm really enjoying the package you sent me! Thank you so very much! You are awesome!

Exhaustive and amazing look at Jangle Pop. These multi-volume videos are references for us lovers of jangle pop! Aztec Camera! (Roddy Frame - what a guitarist! - look for a youtube video of Roddy Frame, Neil Finn of Split Enz/Croweded House/Finn Brothers/Pajama Club/Fleetwood Mac and Graham Gouldman of 10cc on a live program called Songwriter's Circle - outstanding performances). Really love the Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket.

[@nearwildheaven4840]

Hi Hannah, Great job on this one, really well done. You mentioned a lot of my favorites, and some I've never heard of. Dreams So Real's Bearing Witness is a great song, as is the Loyd Cole song Rattlesnakes. There is a song on Game Theory's Lolita Nation titled Kenneth , What's the Frequency?, kind of makes me wonder if this is where REM got the idea for their song. A good Hoodoo Gurus LP is Blow your Cool. Have you heard of the LP by Rainy Day? It has various members of Paisly Underground bands doing covers of great 60's songs. Also want to suggest For Squirrels their CD Example is really good, sounds like early REM meet Nirvana. Well I'm rambling too much this was a lot of fun to watch , can't wait for part 3. Take care, Michael

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Michael. I really appreciate you watching and I'm thrilled you liked this one! Oh, yes, apparently Kenneth, What's the Frequency and What's the Frequency, Kenneth are related to an incident that involves Dan Rather! I need to obtain Blow Your Cool by the Gurus again. I foolishly traded it. Others have mentioned Rainy Day to me and I need to check it out! I remember when that For Squirrels album came out! Good stuff! I was in elementary school or jr. high!

Hi Hanna, thanks for the shout out for the Dentists. This is me at the drums for them as we supported Del Amitri at the Marquee, London in Sept 85. I'd not heard us called "the first Britpop band" before, but it sounds pretty good to me. Best wishes and happy new year from England.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Many different ones I never heard of mostly but the Replacements and Gin Blossoms that I thought about 30 seconds before you showed that .. POCO was very jangle-ish in their earlier period being a very melodic harmonizing group .

Glad I introduced you to some bands you were unfamiliar with! I may have only heard a few Poco songs. Enjoy the jangle pop journey!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert POCO is another you will appreciate ,they are a bit mind bending when you realize how great they are ...they pretty much gave EAGLES their sound ..I like them better than Eagles actually...

[@loughtonfolkclub827]

Hi Hanna. You covered some ground with this video. Quite a few I not aware of. Your video's are going to have an impact on my bank balance. Big fan of the Guru's have loads of their output, and great live. I collected most of The Postcard Records stuff from Scotland in the early 1980's, including most of the 45's. They are getting costly now as most come with inserts and postcards. Did you mention the LA's from Liverpool ?. That Australian stuff is something I will definitely check out, thanks. Your video's are so informative and enlightening. I can recommend (though more appropriate for the first video) a UK band that made a couple of LP's in the mid 1970's. Starry Eyed and Laughing. As their name suggests they are very influenced by the Byrds. Also Josef K are worth checking out. The Dentists are part of the Medway scene, loads of great bands from that area. Once again thanks for the video and all the hard work you put in making them. They are getting better and better. Gary

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Darn, I lost my first response somehow! I'm typing it again. I really appreciate your thoughtful comments, Gary. Makes me feel good to know that there are fellow people like you that appreciate this type of music as much as I do! I can't wait to pick up more from the Hoodoo Guru's in time! Haha, I blame the Vinyl Community for making me overspend on music every month! I need to get my hands on that first La's record! Just added it to my list. Thank you for the reminder! Starry Eyed and Laughing definitely has me intrigued! I appreciate the other band suggestions, too! Have so much to check out. There are so many worthy bands out there! This video was a big-time labor of love! Cheers!

Hey! Love your videos. I'm from Brazil and I'd like to mention Legião Urbana, a jangle pop/post punk band that was extremely popular around here in the 80s/90s and had a mainstream breakthrough very similar to the one REM had, charting dozens of singles and releasing albums with diamond certified sales. In fact, those are the only two jangle pop bands to have such massive popular appeal that I'm aware of, and this is my favorite genre. Almost every brazilian knows who they are and can sing at least one of their songs. I recommend the songs "Há Tempos", "Quando o sol bater na janela do seu quarto", "Quase sem querer" and "Andrea Doria", and their album "Dois". Keep up with the great work!

[@allanramos4803]

Great album from The Feelies! Amazing sound.

[@Alexoutwest]

Cool vid, lots of good info. I'd never heard of the Bongo's, until now. They're great! Do you like The Wedding Present? They're album Watusi is one of my all time favs. Peace.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi there, DJ! I am behind on the Wedding Present. I have only heard a few songs from them, but I think I will go ahead and pick some of their stuff up soon! Thanks for the reminder! I appreciate you watching. The Bongos were really great!

[@robertmessing6846]

Enjoyed this greatly! What a hoot!!!! btw Hoboken was perfect. I have personal connections to many of the bands you mentioned. Starting with the Feelies their drummer has been a life long friend of mine going back to elementary school and we were in many bands together. He was also a big musical influence on me when we would hang out and listen to records. My band Toured with Translator and later their drummer ended up joining my band, Dreams so Real were good friends, and the bassist from the Bongos Rob Norris produced our early music. Also we played shows with dump truck, Let’s Active, and the db’s. Thanks for putting a huge smile on my face today.

[@FilipPandrc]

[@MrBashpop]

Hi, Hanna. Very nice job on this video. Game Theory and Grapes of Wrath are two of my all-time favorite bands. I was fortunate enough to have Scott Miller of Game Theory, as well as Kevin Kane of Grapes of Wrath, play the IPO festival. The Big Shot Chronicles and You Are Here are my fave albums of theirs, respectively.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Mr. Bash, thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I still need to pick up You Are Here from Game Theory. Oh, that's super neat that Scott Miller and Kevin Kane played the IPO Festival. Bet you have tons of awesome show memories!

[@killer1199]

The Hoodoo Gurus - Stoneage Romeos is one of the best albums ever.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I need to find that one. The one I found on CD for pretty cheap I'm still waiting on is Magnum Cum Louder. Thanks, Dave.

[@robertmitchell6015]

Hi Hannah good to see your listening to more Aussie music hope you’ve had a chance to listen to #4 record try getting your hands on Dallas crane same genera as you am I, I can also recommend Spider Bait

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Robert! Oh yes, tons of great Aussie bands out there, new and old! I have been enjoying #4 Record! Thanks for reminding me and giving me the push. I was a little bit behind but I am enjoying it immensely! I appreciate the recommendations, too! Cheers!

[@MsKalachakra]

Hi Hanna, I kust got into 90's punk, trying to get everything I can on that style, so I admire the way you get very deep into a certian genre. You should write a book about jangle pop lol cause I don't think there are many. You made me remember a book I have about psychadelic music called "Turn your mind around". Its like you are reading that book and there's a lot of bands in there you say all the time reading this "wow, I didn't know they were psychedelic" but they kind of are. They cover a lot of stuff on that book from the 60's to the 2000's and its great. Anyway, I appreciate the fact you use samples to hear a little bit of some of those bands, good job and take care.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thank you very much, Alejandro! Having fun exploring deeper into my favorite subgenres! Turn Your Mind Around sounds like a book I need to check out for sure! I bet it's fascinating! Hope you are well. Keep spinning the good tunes! Peace.

[@anumpreto]

Good video. I would recommend the Canadian band Alvvays.

[@kevindeforest6489]

Juliana Hatfield and the Hoodoo Gurus?!!! Amazing choices!

[@jaredcaverly6523]

Great video! Lots of good stuff in here 👍 if you haven't already, definitely check out 90's era Guided By Voices, specifically the album Bee Thousand! Underneath a layer of noise and lo-fi goodness are some beautifully crafted jangle pop inspired tracks buried in there with Robert Pollards 1 take bedroom recordings. Truly a Gem of a record! Keep it up, and thanks for sharing! ✌

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Jared! Oh, I love GBV! I need to get Bee Thousand on vinyl. Thank you for reminding me. One other song I always love playing by them is "Cheyenne." Catchy as all get out! Cheers!

[@jaredcaverly6523]

@@TheOmahaIntrovert of course, Cheyenne is a jam!! I should've known, you know all the good stuff 😂 'same place the fly got smashed' is another great album of theirs! Pendulum gets stuck in my head atleast once a week

[@Paneeks1960]

How can anyone not dig a DB's intro? Good morning Hanna. Crazy Rhythms was a fun listen and a super debut. Although the album that I played a lot was Only Life. The first time that I heard 'Away' I was {pun intended} blown away. Their cover of Lou Reed's 'What Goes On' is the perfect closer too. They also did a cool cover of Patti's 'Dancing Barefoot'. Mars Needs Guitars is one of my favorite album titles of all time. There has been many themes in the VC over the years. I am surprised that no one ever did 'best album names' or craziest song titles. Anyways. Side A from MNG is tops. I showed Dumptruck's debut in one of the last eight videos that I posted. It was a response for Randy's show your local bands theme. You really do seek out the gems. Good to see Blake Babies too. You were a little young when a lot of these albums were being introduced on alternative terrestrial and college radio. Crazy how many great bands were coming out back then. Do you agree? I really like the color and cover of The Dentists album. I have not heard them. Nor have I heard Spinning Coin. But this will soon change. So good to see you holding 'London O' and 'TWIC Quite Good'. Quite Good is one of my favorite comps from the eighties. Just to have Step Outside, I Smell Winter and Hopelessly Devoted To Them all on one album was a gift. I did track it down on vinyl and it sounds really good. Guadalcanal D. You are definitely flashing me back jangle pop style. A celebration and a discovery if I may. I got a few albums/bands to check out which is always my favorite thing from the updates. Well done Hanna. Part three? I'll be there~ Rob/Boston

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Rob! Thought you'd like this one! I need to get my hands on other Feelies records for sure. You just had great ideas for some VC threads with best album names and craziest song titles! That would be fun! I was just a youngin when many of these came out, but luckily I have an awesome uncle that helped me with my music exploration, as well as some friends in college! Lots of creativity during that time! I think you'd really love the Dentists. Nice blend of jangle and garage! The Quiet Good comp indeed is one of the most well done comps out there! Glad there were a few here you were unfamiliar with! Happy listening, Rob! Looking forward to having you back for part 3! Cheers!

[@melissashaw2431]

As always, a great, informative video. Agree with your choices but gotta give a shout out to Liverpool's own The La's. The jangly, gorgeous opening riff to "There She Goes" gets me no matter how many times I listen to it. The rest of that album is also classic. Again, great video and thanks for the work. Stay safe and healthy.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Melissa. Good call on the La's. Can you believe I don't own that album from them on any format. I really need to change that! Thank you for checking in. Be well.

[@ijeff2005]

I just circled back to watch your Power Pop series having recently discovered your channel. Well worth my time. I'm looking forward to sampling a number of the bands and albums mentioned that I had never heard of before. By the way, the new Del Amitri album "Fatal Mistakes" did come out in 2021 and is well worth checking out. I have a few of their other albums over the years and all of them are very good to excellent.

[@zorkwhouse8125]

Great episode 2! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the Paisley Underground stuff in the next one. Feelies are an awesome group that hardly anyone mentions anymore and so its great to see you mention them. I have some of their later albums on cassette and they are good as well - not quite as memorable as Crazy Rhythms but still good. The singer has very Lou Reed-ish vocals. Steve Earle has some kind of jangly stuff - he's more "Americana" labeled, but he has some songs in this genre as well (his stuff is really good period, but with relation to jangle pop he has some applicable stuff). Another band that has some kind of jangly songs but who I would say would likely appeal to people who like jangle pop - Galaxie 500. From the late 80's to early 90's. Albums Today and On Fire are excellent (ok, all 3 studio albums are awesome but yeah..) Their debut single "Tugboat" is a good example of their stuff. Also have a really nifty cover of the accapella(sp?) Jonathan Richman song "Don't let our youth go to waste," super super awesome song (that G500 essentially came up with the music entirely since there's no music on the original and they did a great job making the song their own and honoring the original) and it also has very heart tugging lyrics to me. Cool to hear you mentioned some newer groups b/c I'm not as familiar with newer stuff that's come out (I'm a wee bit oldish - nearly 40, and so I haven't kept up with newer bands and releases - so definitely some new things for me to check out - thank you). Thought of one more group - not definitively jangle pop, but does veer into that territory some and again probably would appeal to folks who like J P - the band Guided By Voices. Ok - one more thing. The Aztec Camera cover of Van Halen's "Jump" is a trip and worth hearing - while I like VH also, the A C version is better I think hehe. Changes the tone of the song completely.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Woo hoo, you made it back for part 2! Love Steve Earle. I have 3 of his LPs. Guitar Town is my favorite, I think. I have Today from Galaxie 500 but I have been meaning to pick up more from them. Guided by Voices have a massive discography! Talented group. I think I've only heard Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, and Universal Truths and Cycles. "Cheyenne" is a song that stays in my head forever! I absolutely need to check out Aztec Camera's cover of VH's Jump. I haven't heard the Knife album yet! Hehe, thanks for the heads up! Really appreciate your comments!

[@jonnyvassvag]

I was really missing the Bangles in this video..hope you will mention and show them in a future video. Great presentation otherwise..Thumbs up !

They will be in part 3. :-) I appreciate the interest! Hope the summer is treating you well!

[@jasonlandes9041]

This one hit all the sweet spots! Huge fan of the Trashcan Sinatras. Was lucky enough to see them a couple times over the last couple years during their acoustic tours. One show they played both the “Cake” and “I’ve Seen Everything” albums in entirety. The most recent tour they did both “A Happy Pocket” and “Weightlifting”. They just released a new single...hoping for a new album. Such a great underrated band. Also, the Eyelids...so, so good! Saw them open up for The Charlatans and was floored! If you ever get a chance...see them live! At any rate, great vid and hope you are staying safe.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Jason! Very neat that you were able to see Trash Can Sinatras live a few times. I bet those were incredible shows. Very underrated indeed. I hope for a new album from them as well! Seeing the Eyelids live one day would also be a treat for me! I love this band! Staying safe as I can, but I miss record shopping dearly. I guess a local store here just opened back up. I will wait a few more weeks. Take care.

[@charlielenk1677]

Hi Hanna, love the Go-Betweens shoutout in part 1. Are you familiar with Grant McLennan's solo work? Horsebreaker Star is one of my favorite albums by anyone ever and IMO would fit quite well should you do a Part 4 in the series. Opening song Simone And Perry is a perfect, shimmering piece of jangle-pop. Others worth checking out IMO: - Flying Color, San Francisco mid-80s band. They did one album in 1986, self-titled and released by Frontier, that may be hard to find but worth it - I found it free for download on the net back in 09. Their bassist, Hector Penalosa, is now playing bass for the resurrected Avengers. - The Individuals, early 80s Hoboken band, contemporaries of the dBs and Feelies. Their debut album Fields is a classic though may also be hard to find. - Feelies, The Good Earth. Produced by Peter Buck and very early-REM-sounding.

[@benday1218]

Hey I'm from Kent, and amazed you know the Dentists! They are very obscure even in the UK. Thanks for the vid. Bob Collins from the Dentists now plays in Swansea Sound, an indie pop supergroup featuring members of Heavenly and The Pooh Sticks as well.

[@OaktownBman]

This is my playlist from our college radio show in 1986-88, UC Santa Cruz. Got to meet many of these bands coming through town in those years. Zeitgeist was my favorite. Deep crush on Kim Longacre. She dressed like a WWII "We Can Do It" woman shipbuilder. Super nerdy cute.

[@yournamehere6002]

So cool that you reminded me of bands like Dreams So Real and The Reivers, who I haven't thought about in a while!

Fantastic video and such a great range of different jangle pop bands over the years. Other Aussie bands to check out are Icecream Hands with Sweeter than the Radio. A cult classic in Australia. Plus 78 Saab with their albums The Bells Line and Picture a Hum. Check out their singles ‘Sunshine’ and ‘Warm Jets’ as great jangle pop gems.

[@CadillacL]

[@robertsaul234]

Thanks for the obvious time and care you put into these last two videos. Rock N Roll is a wide umbrella and your exploration and analysis of its subgenres is appreciated. I have a few you mentioned like the dBs, the Hoodoo Gurus, Gin Blossoms, and (yes) Toad the Wet Sprocket, but you've given my some others to consider that weren't on my radar that aren't as obvious. One album I had thought of as being jangly was Bob Mould/Sugar - Copper Blue. Maybe, just to my ears, after the noise of Husker Du. I used to read about RnR in magazines like Rolling Stone (when it was relevant) and Creem almost as much as I listened to the music. Looks like you've done your research. Sorry I was a little late to the party but I do appreciate you.🤟🧤😷✌

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thank you for always supporting my channel, Robert. These videos are a labor of love. Glad I gave you some other bands to check out. I should have mentioned Bob Mould indeed. What a talent. I agree. I did put some research into these. More videos soon. Cheers!

Love Aztec Camera, Dreams So Real, Del Amitri (beware after 1st album they turn arena rock), Housemartins, Trashcan Sinatras, Orange Juice (confessed to being influenced by Niles Rogers & Chic), etc.....but don't forget the Silent Boys- willfully obscure jangle pop since 1986 and still at it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZvckoVnhtadfrc

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I just listened to this. Really enjoyed the Silent Boys! Thank you for sharing! :-)

[@actfray]

I disagree about Del Amitri. Their first album is their weakest. But "Waking Hours" is when they really hit their songwriting stride. Justin Currie was anything but arena rock. And "Some Other Sucker's Parade" is wonderful, featuring the perfect pop song, "Not Where It's At."

[@gregnewman2512]

Need to hear these two albums. Vulgar Boatmen, "Please Panic," and not sure if its jangle, but "Cuba," by the Silos is five stars. Notbthat i needed his input, but it says something that Rolling Stone mag veteran Anthony DeCurtis went out of his way to write the liner notes to the reissue of Cuba. A superb album.

[@breadpuddingrecords]

Absolutely love this series!!! You cover some great Jangle!! One you missed that is a personal fave of mine is Primal Scream's first album, "Sonic Flower Groove". It is 100% perfection, 12 string Rickenbacker bliss! Cheers!

Congrats Hanna,very instructive video specially for me who i ve never heard about the term jangle pop.I understand it's a subgenre of powerpop with more resonating guitar sound very often provide by rickenbaker guitar. That makes me think about the sound of Big Ben at the Westminster abbaye in London. In country rock made in california like the byrds and the roger mcguinn twelve string guitar,this jangle pop is very present for artists like carlene carter,mary chapin carpenter and a lot of nashville new country artists ,a little less oriented to pickin guitar sound .

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Hanna. Just catching up with your part two and very much enjoyed it. Great to see Blake Babies. Never seen that comp which you showed though. The Teardrop Explodes and Julian Cope are way up among my favourites but I agree they don’t really fit the jangle pop genre. I definitely remember seeing Trashcan Sinatras live back in the day. I’m just discovering Cleaners from Venus and Martin Newell also. Just bought a double ‘best of’. Some bands I didn’t know here too, so thanks for all the clips. Great video. Take care, John.

Hi John! Always appreciate your comments. Innocence and Experience is a great BB comp! You can still order the reissue on vinyl from American Laundromat Records. Glad you agree with me on Teardrop Explodes and JC not really fitting this genre, but I still wanted to do a quick mention in that one section of my video. Ohh, I'm thrilled you are digging Cleaners from Venus and that you bought a best-of comp! Happy listening! Cheers!
