Review

Power Pop is a cross between the crunching hard rock of The Who and the sweet melodicism of The Beatles and The Beach Boys, with the ringing guitars of The Byrds thrown in for good measure. Power Pop bands filled a void left by The Beatles when they broke up in 1970. Throughout the early '70s, several bands, most notably Badfinger, Raspberries and Big Star, established the sound of Power Pop, with a whole array of like-minded bands emerging in the later part of the decade. Groups like Cheap Trick, The Knack, The Romantics, Dwight Twilley, Raspberries, and Badfinger had the biggest hits, but The Flamin' Groovies, Shoes, and 20/20 among others became Power Pop favorites.

This is the first comprehensive single disc overview of Power Pop ever assembled. It includes just about every major band of the genre and is filled with non-stop Power Pop classics.
Featured here are several tracks previously unavailable on CD, including the single version of The Knack's Top 10 hit "Good Girls Don't," the UK single version of the great 1979 Searchers track "It's Too Late," and "You Oughta Know" by The Pop.
Also included is the rare single version of Big Star's "In the Street," used as the raucous theme of That '70s Show as performed by Cheap Trick.
