The opening bands in Seattle were Fastbacks, Pearl Jam and Supersuckers. I wish I could have been at those shows. I'm hoping to catch the "greatest hits" tour they're doing this summer as they're playing a venue with decent acoustics this time around. And headlining! Usually when they come through Dallas it's as the opening act on one of those Def Leppard/Journey/Foreigner nostalgia bills.

PSEUDO-Gilbert O'?! Pilot is a lot better than Gilbert! "Alone Again, Naturally" is good, produced almost like a Wings song. G. O's main problem was the quality of songwriting. Not so for Pilot.

Starry Eyes/reminiscent of Eddie and the Hot Rods/"Do Anything you Wanna Do." I'm OK with that.

hey, thanks everyone! It's been great seeing all the comments, and Clay's been looking over my shoulder. Really appreciate everyone getting into it!

I've got Material Issue with me but it doesn't look like I'll get to it. :(

Caryn:

Gotta say, for me, Clay won that round. "Starry Eyes" is overplayed and no longer sounds as energetic as it should. And Pastiche just didn't do anything for me.

Great job. Gotta run. Thanks.

Hmm will EFD signal Calvin Schiraldi now?!?

I think everybody gets 2 units of collage credit for this show. have EFD sign your card as you go out

Great show...and as the Speedies once sang: you need (power) pop!

Forgot all about Material Issue. "Valerie Loves Me" is perfect power-pop.

I love that Caryn & I totally disagree. :-) I completely worship that Pastiche song

The thing I'm going to vote for is that we do this again and again every few months.

Caryn:

@Holly: truth be told, if it wasn't nearly 7 a.m. here, I might be more open to the Pastiche. But right now, I need something very special to interest me.

All the tunes I think have the umph, Caryn thinks overplayed.

the thing about "Starry Eyes" is while it's admittedly "safe" I can't imagine doing a power pop show without including it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ending on a very Pidgetastic note with Britny Fox.

And as always, the winner in these throwdowns is: US listeners!
Thanks EFD and Clay! Awesome, euphoric selections of powerful power pop!

The only problem with "Starry Eyes" is that now I have to listen to about 10 other Records songs before I do anything else. There are worse problems to have! Great job guys!

Executive Summary:
CP fancies himself in the same league as EFD, throwdown ensues. 12-string Rickenbackers used often by both sides. Clay stumbles over prog and hair metal heritage, EFD turns in fab survey of Power Pop. Announcer reminds us this was an exhibition, not a competition, and not to try this at home with your father's records.
Avatar 11:58pm
Holly in NC:

Hm. Clay's definition of power pop ends up being somewhat too fluid, & while efd was mostly far too conservative.. Pastiche. And Shivvers.
Cheap Trick alone not enough to counter.

efd wins this round, a rematch will be excellent!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Clay & efd!

Hmm, love both final tracks, but Fox got me more revved up. Point for Clay. Can't be bothered to tally up my totals, because that's not the point anyway. Just happy this show happened!

Clay's lack of irony is actual kryptonite to bad guys.

It would be interesting to hear efd fill three hours of Power Pop by himself - that might meet both my & Caryn's criteria. Clay is just such a great personality though - makes it interesting...

Well done EFD and Clay :)

"LOVE IS" FUCKING RULES BIG PROPS TO CLAY FOR PILOT!!! Also my wife put her fist in the air for Clay's Cheap Trick while we ate dinner so that's DOUBLE PROPS to the guest.

Cecile:

I like that the power pop you are playing is like it was back in the day - bands dedicated to pure pop, bands accidentally making power pop, and bands who just really liked a hook.

Everyone's definition of pop differs. Viva l'difference. But I think "Talk Dirty to Me" is a great power pop single, so what do I know?

Great show youse guys. And you're both older than me hahahahahha. (not by much)

Hell, I think Devo are power-pop.
Avatar 12:17pm
Cecile:

I submit that power pop started with Buddy Holly, and Bobby Fuller was the first true power pop artist.
Avatar 1:08pm
Cecile:

nope, the first Plimsouls came out on Planet Records in 1981. It's actually a little underproduced compared to the one that followed. they had an EP before that, too.
