I too have a difficult time defining powerpop. Much of what I love would
probably be considered more psyche pop or merely 60's pop (Kinks, Beach
Boys, Beatles, Zombies, etc.), though it is hard not to hear the
influence of those bands on the later stuff like Big Star and Cheap
Trick. It all seems to be more of a continuation to me. However, based
on what most people define as powerpop, I would have to say that my
favorite album would be Jellyfish "Split Milk" and favorite single is
Badfinger "No Matter What". It's hard to top those.
