Editorial Reviews

UK collection. "Power pop is what we play," declared Pete Townshend in a 1967 interview to promote the Who's 'Pictures Of Lily'. Although the term power pop did not gain much traction at the time, it re-emerged at the beginning of the '70s after the Beatles had dissolved and music began to fracture into various camps. In the USA, bands that remained true to the Beatles tradition began to be referred to as power pop. The Raspberries set the ball rolling in 1972, and young bands began to spring up who really only wanted to sing about girls and having a good time on Saturday night. As the '70s wore on, the new wave had an ever-growing influence on the movement, and even the Ramones donned skinny ties long enough to back up harmony pop masters the Paley Brothers on a thrilling update of Ritchie Valens' 'Come On Let's Go'. What else is on offer? Pure pop bliss is provided by the Toms on their richly melodic 'Better Than Anyone Else', while the Dwight Twilley Band go 'Looking For The Magic' with breathless energy and insistent determination. The Romantics kick up a storm on 'What I Like About You' - it's hectic rhythm guitar, squealing harmonica, and raw Beatles-like vitality making it an absolute killer. Staten Island's Dirty Looks deliver their paean to rock 'n' roll, 'Let Go', with the same energy and drive that any punk band would have been proud to muster, while the Tweeds nail our musical addiction in one with 'I Need That Record'. Also included is the Flamin' Groovies' original US version of 'Shake Some Action', which Cyril Jordan claims is their best ever recording and we are not arguing.

Great compilation, made better by the liner notes. A good mix of known and obscure bands. If you're a fan of any of these bands, or power pop in general; you can't go wrong! 👍

This was one of 6 CDs I bought as an easy way of becoming familiar with some power pop artists I had never heard of, e.g. The Spongetones, or had heard of, but didn't know their music, e.g. The Flamin' Groovies. For the most part, the songs I liked best were the ones I already had in my collection, like Dwight Twilley, The Romantics,20/20, and Shoes. The biggest surprise came from The Rubinoos who sing Rock and Roll Is Dead. That song is why kept this CD. I gave the rest to a co-worker for Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff but too few women artists...so the sequel is better...
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020
I love powerpop, it's in my nickname, my fave kinda music (along with Outlaw Country), but I feel this collection, and the subgenre in general is lacking in the presence of females, and not just in the lyrics...so I think this album's sequel, "Girls Go Power Pop" is way better...this one, though, is a nice mix of known & obscure, but predictable in the lack of female talent, except for one song by The Shivvers...overall, it needs to be better balanced...

It is what it states....Power Pop Gems.
So what is Power Pop, I've always associated it as being Melodic New Wave, a glossy attitude with hints of a punk snarl, splattered with a catchy chorus and hum along verses, kept together with slabs of rhythmic power guitar, but obviously we all have different views.

No need to single any of the track out, as we all have favourites, it's a personal choice, but I believe we'd all agree that this is one mighty fine compilation album, if you like your Pop to have Power, your Wave not so New but Retro enough to be authentic, then you are onto a winner....

The other two cds in this series are also equal in quality, buy them all, and lose yourself in the atmosphere of the late 70s to 80s Cool Vibes of Power Pop Gems......

Enjoy it
