For me the "garage" has always referred to a
DIY approach. So, really, any type of music
can have a "garage" style, and when you think
about it almost all bands start as "garage"
bands. I've seen the Hoodoo Guru's first
LP "Stoneage Romeos" called a "garage" classic,
and rightly so, but it's hard to call heavily
polished albums like "Crank" or "Kinky" the same.
So, if I make any sense, there are "garage
power pop" bands and more polished "power
pop" groups.
The in no way lines up with how Little Steven
uses the term. I cannot see how Phil Spector
produced material evoke a DIY ethos.
