See, this is what confuses the hell out of me about "powerpop". I would
think the Beach Boys, The Who, etc. to fall under the general 60's pop
category. Particularly with the Beach Boys -- who are probably my all
time favorite next to MAYBE the Beatles -- but I hear very little
"power" in their music. Definitely emotional power, but they aren't
churning out the guitar rock.
