"Killer Queen" I can almost understand given the roots of bands like
Jellyfish. But "Hanging On The Telephone" (Blondie) and "Echo Beach" (Martha
& The Muffins) as POWER Pop? WTF? And I'm not sure "David Watt" or "I Want
You To Want Me" are the Kinks or Cheap Trick's most acclaimed power pop
entries either.
Your mileage may very...
