> What is your Top 1 (ONE) Power-Pop album and Top 1 (ONE) Power-Pop song?
For # 1 album, I'll go with The Undertones debut (which Steve Yaver already mentioned), which contains the best hooks you can find on any single album, one after the other. For albums with a more recent vintage, I usually turn to Splitsville's "Complete Pet Soul," The Merrymakers' "Bubblegun," and The Vandalias' "Buzzbomb!"
For # 1 song, I was initially going to say Chris Stamey's "The Summer Sun," but I'll happily join the crowd and choose "Go All The Way." That song is nearly perfect and always brings back great & precious memories of growing up in the early '70s. On those rare instances when I find it on the radio, I turn the treble all the way up, the bass way down, and only use my front speakers to recreate that Dodge Dart AM sound as closely as possible! (and I bet I'm not the only one that does that...)
Hey Cliff Hillis - congrats on the opening slot! I saw The Psychedelic Furs a year or so ago and they were *very* impressive. They sounded very fresh and I really wish I could make that show on Thursday. Enjoy!
Be seeing you,
Bill
