My list:
The Shazam
Fountains of Wayne
New Pornographers
Pernice Bros.
The Sneetches/Mike Levy
Velvet Crush
Matthew Sweet
The Spongetones/Jamie Hoover
Bobby Sutliff/Tim Lee
Steve Ward/Cherrytwister/Mike Giblin & Parallax Project (gotta give it up 
for my PA homies)
Tommy Keene
Myracle Brah
The Orange Peels
The Mayflies USA
John Faye/IKE/Caulfields

Hon. mention to Barenaked Ladies who were power-pop through "Stunt," and 
then became something else entirely. Since my band is compared to them so 
often, they've gotta make the cut.
