This [chat] is about the glorious sub-genre of music known as Power Pop.

Power Pop is typified by heavy guitars, flailing drums, and catchy-as-fuck melodies and hooks.

The following is the Top Five Power Pop Songs of All Time in exact order:

And honorable mention, though it is not technically Power Pop as its guitars are not highly overdriven, it’s still the best pop song ever written:

    One of my blind spots includes not ever knowing whether the song title or artist is listed first on music tracks.

    Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action.

    I assume Flamin' Groovies is the band name, only because it's a noun. :l

    Day/Month/Year makes more sense, though.

    Unless it's a list, then it's 4-Digit-Year/Month/Day

    Month/day/year is more efficient.

    There's no need to add "of".

  • CouscousCouscous Registered User regular
    How common is it for people to confuse being racist, sexist, etc. with being funny? Most of the time it isn't even "ironic."
