That's unfortunate.

Here’s a good one from a Nashville band.

And another from a band from Fort Worth.

Melodic vocals and lyrics (the pop) backed by heavy guitars (the power).

I honestly had ever only heard two of their songs

You should jump into their catalog, it will be rewarding.
I probably should have posted a live clip of Some Other Suckers Parade, I just think the video is cool. They have two guitar players, traditional lead/rhythm arrangement, and they have some great interplay on that song that really shines live.

Stumbled onto this: Power Pop Blog

Recorded in 1985, “The Trains” by THE NASHVILLE RAMBLERS is one of the greatest pop songs of the entire era. Aided and abetted by ace producer MARK NEILL (Black Keys), the band expertly channeled their key influences—Beatles, Remains, Hollies, Everly Brothers, and others—and shaped them into something fresh, urgent and breathtakingly original. A heart-stopping melody, evocative lyrics, a driving beat, soaring harmonies, a dynamic, reverb-soaked production—to hear “The Trains” was to fall in love with it. And every time you heard it, you fell in love again.
However, outside a small circle of fans, though, very few people ever heard it. In an era when do-it-yourself was how-it-was-done, the Ramblers waited for somebody else to do it for them. Nobody did—not really anyway. In 1986 “The Trains” and one other Ramblers song appeared on an obscure UK-only compilation, but few people noticed. The moment was lost—if it was ever there at all—and “The Trains” slipped quietly back underground to become a whispered secret passed through the years between a growing coterie of admirers. Many discovered the song for the first time in 2005 when it was included on Rhino’s Children of Nuggets box set—by then it was almost 20 years old.

Bun E's drumming is amazing in that song.

The Cult - Electric (whole album)

As much as I like The Cult, I just don't see it.
