This was an interesting quote:
>>Steve Albini
The bands you mention (Big Star, Raspberries, Flamin’ Groovies, Cheap Trick,
Dwight Twilley, Shoes, dB’s, Matthew Sweet, Posies) are utterly unrelated. I
can tolerate some of them, love the Flamin’ Groovies and Cheap Trick and
have a profound hatred of the rest. I cannot bring myself to use the term
“power pop.” Catchy mock-descriptive terms are for dilettantes and
journalists. I guess you could say I think this music is for pussies and
should be stopped.<<<
Bite my metal-plated ass, Albini.
