| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yeah, not much 70's "power pop" (never have dug that term) featured memorable lyrics, Big Star and Cheap Trick excepted (bands who really transcended the label anyway). But a lot of the best of it did tend to come out of the Midwest. I'll keep a l... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hi Philb7777, I'm not familiar with that last record or the band, but I am curious if it's "power pop at its best" what makes the pleasure guilty? Were they on a national label or is it a record one is unlikely to stumble across outside of Chicago... | |
