Power Pop Me!

https://ask.metafilter.com/268735/Help-me-find-songs-similar-to-Brill-Bruisers music like "Brill Bruisers" by The New Pornographers, and I got recommendations for Matthew Sweet and Brendan Benson. So...The New Pornographers? My favourite songs of theirs at the moment arehttp://youtube.com/watch?v=EhhtSXk1c70, http://youtube.com/watch?v=sYyu5vbwvbA, http://youtube.com/watch?v=X2nVM53aGFw andhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=TD2ynd_AhSY.

Given the bands you listed in your post (definitively power pop groups), I think you'd like these (and you probably already know a bunch of them): Badfinger, Best Kissers In The World, Butch Walker/The Marvelous 3, Enuff Z'Nuff, Hoodoo Gurus, Jason Falkner, Marshal Crenshaw, Micro Mini/Army Navy, Mike Viola/The Candy Butchers, Myracle Brah, Nick Lowe, Redd Kross, Linus of Hollywood, Sloan, Split Enz, Super Deluxe, Superdrag, Teenage Fanclub, The Beat/The Paul Collins Beat*/The Breakaways/The Nerves, The Figgs, The Jam, The Mayflies USA, The Plimsouls/Peter Case, The Posies, The Raspberries, The Three O'Clock, The Wannadies, Tube Top, Sprites, 10cc, 20/20, The Bens/Ben Lee/Ben Kweller/Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five, Farrah, Foxy Shazam (glam), Manda & The Marbles, The Pleasure Kills, McFly, The Andersons, The Click Five, The Merrymakers, The Pranks, Travoltas, Visqueen, The Cute Lepers The Exploding Hearts are definitely seconded. I'd suggest The Paul Collins Beat (and associated acts) to start. Pure, pure power pop.

We've got that 5000+ Badass Power Pop Songs playlist on the office Spotify server today. 3 hours without a complaint about the music may be a record here!

I submit that http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B006IVQOXC/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ are the best power pop band you've never heard before. (http://open.spotify.com/album/1jaIVdzRs5e7je3RJLo87D) Here's the single "Ahttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5yFA2eKlpAo" on YouTube. If this is not instantly in your power pop top twenty, then I dunno, man. I just dunno. They were a great and tragically overlooked band.

I've had a lot of fun following this gigantic (and ever evolving) Spotify playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/129466846/playlist/52v0YiaNZ9hFvb9ecGrmvO.

2nding The New Pornographers and adding Zumpano and Carl Newman's solo albums. I cannot resist recommending Destroyer too just for fun, but it is not power pop.

Oh jeez I almost forgot http://www.thesafes.com/. They're fantastic.
