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:

    Lair of the Shadow Broker is so great.

    What could he have been thinking of when he shot his best friend? What in God's name can he be thinking of now?

    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".

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