Never quite thought of Cheap Trick as power pop.
Mason Perry
I WANT YOU TO WANT ME

Best rock subgenre
Cheap Trick, Shoes, The Kind, The Nerves, Big Star, The Knack, Plimsouls, Badfinger, Raspberries, The Exploding Hearts, Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, Ben Kweller, Matthew Sweet, The Beat, The Pink Spiders, Transmitors, The Rentals
Expanded to The Cars, The Vapors, and Blondie too if they arent too new wave.

It's like youre not trying
Nathaniel Hall
>what is title track?
I could concede to the others but the title track sucks ASS
How about second-wave power pop?
Nathaniel Miller
Most of what I posted is 2nd wave (Cheap Trick, The Knack, Plimsouls, etc.) First wave is Raspberries, Badfinger, and the such. The Beatles and Who don't count.
Noah James
He probably means the third-wave of stuff in the '90s to early '00s.
Lucas Gutierrez
That shit is great shit too. Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, The Rentals, and Harvey Danger kind of stole the show.
Christian Brooks
Yeah yeah exactly
>Harvey Danger
Fuck I wish they hadn't disbanded so quickly. Also New Pornographers and associated acts, I love Newman's work.
Robert Adams
No love for Pezband or Off Broadway? You're probably not even from Illinois are you?
The Beatles and The Who ALWAYS count! (And so do The Kinks!)
Angel Hughes
I am from the 630, but I'm likely much younger than you. I only know stories when it comes to Haymakers of Wheeling. The Boyzz, The Kind, and Cheap Trick.
Cameron Perez
Either of you ever smoked a joint with Chip Z'Nuff?
Jordan Anderson
No. Way too young and out of the loop. I just realized due to your post that Enuff Z Nuff is even from Illinois.
My dad was in a band that was supposed to open for Survivor but never did back in the early 80s.
Christopher Morales
You've heard of Haymakers and know who The Boyzz were. You're alright in my book.
(Nice dubs)
Haven't had the pleasure.
Jeremiah Hill
What was the name of the band?

Oh yeah, I think one of their later albums was called "Welcome to Blue Island", too.

What was your dad's band called? I'm a sucker for obscure old melodic hard rock and AOR.
Aaron King
Surprisingly it doesn't ring a bell.
Leo Russell
They weren't very famous as far as I know. Played a lot of school dances.
Ryder Hughes
They ever record anything?
Levi Davis
Cassettes. They might be out there still.
Ayden Price
Cheap Trick is first wave though
Jace Campbell
Nah, I'd say Badfinger, Raspberries, Big Star, Todd Rundgren, and Sweet are first wave. Cheap Trick, The Knack, and most 2nd wave bands get swept up in late 70s Punk and New Wave which is why The Cars usually get brought up along side.
