you ever listened to any power pop albums?

i already said i guess they have the right guitars

i think weve already had that conversation

i said Big Star

you said they dont count

i pulled up receipts on them being quintessential power pop

maybe it wasnt you

.........????????????? HUH?????

i will DIE on this hill

if the singles aren’t the embodiment of early beatles turned modern/power pop then NO ONE has that claim

Now what kind of person ..

but so you think big star sounds more early beatles?

tired of people sleeping on short fun bops

they are as essential and relevant than a million songs of strawberry fields and whatnot

ppl gotta stop thinking they too good for she loves you etc

i cant think of anyone that deserves that claim

im trying to say beatles didnt even invent the beatles sound so calling any band that sounds remotely like 50's early 60's rock is too broad and dumb

no i dont think Big Star sound like Beatles. i think they sound like power pop.

well that’s just saying the beatles have zero legacy 💀

what defines power pop then?

out if "sounding like the beatles" is the definition of power pop

first of all the beatles had many different styles even on their first album

second their sound was one quarters; chuck berry, buddy holly, little richard and everly brothers

third there are 18 other great bands that the singles sound equally like if youre that broad with your definitions

y’all just want bunch of greta van to say they sound like or what

maybe you should read like the wiki of power pop or something

cause the beatles are namedropped A LOT there

prolly just silly coincidence tho

i already said i dont listen to power pop

what?

why would i research a genre i know i dont like very much

You genuinely think pre-RS Beatles music is better than their late 60s run? Enough that you don’t listen to it?

??to know what you’re talking about????

just burnout on talking or being asked every day about the same albums and same songs

it’s like pet sounds i don’t listen much to it like that i listen more to 70s material

so i can answer your question of what defines power pop or so ill finally admit Singles sound like the Beatles? not sure what were even debating anymore but i stated my case and am gonna go play some games
