Josh --
I'd love to read more examples of your disappointments...so I can rip you a new one! But seriously, what other ones haven't floated your boat?
I'll admit, I'm surprised to see you cite The Beat -- I think that's one of the best skinny tie pop records ever. Collins had a bunch of great songs at his disposal and the band plays them with punch and panache.

> I've been dipping into the power pop canon based on the SSA book. And I'm shocked by the extent to which I'm wholly unmoved by records that are apparently consensus great albums of the genre. Some of the things I've picked up I've liked but they sounded a little too generic to me to be considered great (a.g. the Adam Schmidt, although I do like it.) Others, I just totally don't get (Paul Collins Beat.)
