4.0 out of 5 stars
Great history of a genre, April 4, 2009
This review is from: Power Pop Anthems (Audio CD)
Most power pop fans will have already the majority of these songs, but that doesn't mean this collection isn't worth having. While not everything on here really qualifies as "power pop" ("Killer Queen" by Queen?), it is a great collection of 48 songs over two CDs. They range from the modern classics ("Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne) to the songs that originally gave "power pop" its name ("Go All The Way" by The Raspberries). Since it's an import, there are enough obscurities here to make it worthwhile for the fan of this type of music (I don't know that I had ever heard "Another Girl Another Planet" by The Only Ones, but I liked it). If you're a power pop fan, this is almost two hours of great listening.
