Another brilliant one-off power pop album is that one by Moods for Moderns. Did they break up, or are they simply working on their own version of Chinese Democracy?

np: Shearwater - "The World in 1984"


I knew there was a reason why we clicked.

BIG ups to FT and anyone else who digs on Moods For Moderns. Saw them once without knowing who they were and was promptly blown away. It's funny because the drummer (Dave Shetler) had been in an emocore band like a year earlier and going from that to MFM was an amazing shift to pull off.


Yer a good man, Chadwick.

np: Cake - "Sad Songs and Waltzes"

See, IMO, Cheap Trick was always a little too heavy to really fit into the "power pop" category.

But I know I'm in the minority on that.

Your mention of the album has me throwing the CD on the "Take To Work Tonite" pile, though. :rawk:

that's the only one. members of that band went off and joined koufax and the sights.


Didn't know they were in Koufax. Social Life is pretty good.

np: Van Halen - "Light Up the Sky"


I think their first album, It Had To Do With Love, is better.

I like:

Sorry but the New Pornographers easily win this category.

How else would you categorize their albums,.

Suckers.

I'm drunk.

This album is light years better than any other mentioned in this thread, and Cheap Trick IS the band most associated with power pop than just about all the rest, BUT DiggityDawg is correct that this is NOT a power pop album. This album IS a spectacular bridging of the gap between punk and grunge, inexplicably before punk was really even on the radar yet...and a full 15 years before grunge made the scene.

While quite a few of their subsequent albums were very, very good, none would ever come anywhere near matching the sheet transcendent force of their s/t '77 debut. It packed an astonishing wallop.

Oh, and it was #3 on my Listmania!
