I like my power pop bands with plenty of power. Cheap Trick, The Shazam, Melony, Love Nut, Lolas, & Material Issue are examples. I like plenty of wussy and fussy music, it just doesn't fit within my definition of power pop.

Well,I don't hear wussy and fussy. I hear fantastic melodies, sharp lyrics
and perfect harmonies. I hear something that took time to create,
something that was crafted.
For the sake of discussion, would you be willing to give me examples of
what Power Pop is? So Power Pop to you needs to be more unpolished? More
"indie" or maybe, under-produced (I'm trying to come up with something the
opposite of "wussy" and "fussy").
My two favorite albums are "Spilt Milk" and "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska" by
King's X. Now GGTN is hardly what most here would consider Power Pop, but
I do. My definition of Power Pop is catchy melodies, sweet harmonies and
power chords. I've never considered jangle rock to be Power Pop. Bands
like Wilco, The Plimsouls, Marshall Crenshaw...I define acts like these
with chiming, strumming guitars to be folk rock.
I considered bands like Weezer, Foo Fighters, The Knack, The Cars, The
Knack, to be Power Pop. The guitars have to be big, loud and punchy.

I think this is what gets to those of us who don't worship Jellyfish. What
many here hear as power pop, I hear as wussy and fussy. (I should note that
the spellcheck on my Blackberry tried to change wussy into pussy, which
means something).

Put me down for Spilt Milk--- Jellyfish.
Though I like Bellybutton more, Spilt Milk has more of the crunch that
puts
the power into power pop.
