Notes

This mix functions as a history of Power Pop, in chronological order, from 1966 to today. A catchy blend of classic hits and plenty of underground gems sure to get stuck in your head. (Updated with more songs as of 12/24/15)

Power Pop is guitar driven, hook heavy, often harmonious rock and roll influenced by Bubblegum Pop, British Invasion era, and early American garage Rock. Power Pop was at its peak throughout the 70's and early 80's. Many new rock sub-genres throughout the 80's and 90's were influenced by, and evolved from, early Power Pop music. While the overall popularity of Power Pop has diminished over the years, the influences of the genre can be still be felt, and the style is often present in "alternative" and contemporary garage rock from the 90's to today.
