Matthew Sweet - Sick of Myself
This is always one of the first songs that comes to mind. Girlfriend is up there too.
Saw where he had a bad stroke last October and is still recovering.

Speaking of The Toitles...
The Vogues - "You Baby" (recorded 1965/released 1996)
Never knew this existed until today. It's kind of stiff, with over precise diction, and seems stuck in the no man's land between doo wop & power pop, which "You're The One" had so skillfully avoided.
Listen to the original and you're even more impressed at how the Turtles hit it out of the park. With its infectious joie de vivre (I am allowed one French phrase per post) it's probably my favorite Turtles track.
I don't know why Howard Kaylan has never gotten his due as a R&R vocalist. Singing happy, sunshiney feel good tunes probably hurt him there.
Kaylan is sort of the white David Ruffin - his greatness got lost in the group picture.

Never heard the Vogues original until today. The Turtles made it their own.
The first two albums I bought with my own money were CCR’s “Cosmos Factory” and this one:
Great band and still sound fresh to my ears.

Why does this keep happening?
It keeps happening, because Huey Lewis is the very definition of power pop.

Badfinger - "No Matter What"
The Raspberries - "Go All The Way"
The Flamin' Groovies - "Shake Some Action"
Bram Tchaikovsky - "The Girl Of My Dreams"
The Nashville Ramblers - "The Trains"
Listen to those five songs, then listen to Huey Lewis. Perhaps then you will understand why Huey Lewis is not the genre known as "Power Pop"

For some reason Memphis was a power pop hotbed in the '70s
quote:
Formed in 1974 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Stephen Burns, who would cut classes at the University of Memphis to rehearse and record, the group spent a two-year period in which it would write music and rehearse in a warehouse at Shoe Studio and then record at Ardent Studios when it had enough songs. Burns' high school friend, Tommy Hoehn, who led the power pop group Prix, was brought in for backing vocals.
quote:
Big Star producer Jim Dickinson, who was working on Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers at Ardent when The Scruffs began recording there, and who heard The Scruffs' demos in their earliest stages, recalled that people on the local scene expected The Scruffs to take the radio by storm. Dickinson said of these early recordings, "If there's going to be a Scruffs history, that's it . . . . It really does represent, if not the end, then the beginning of the end of something in Memphis music. After that, nobody even tried to do that again."

Bram Tchaikovsky - "Girl Of My Dreams"
A live version of one of the GOAT PP songs
Surprisingly (considering its genre and subject matter) it was a US hit, just barely squeaking into the BB top 40.
