Audio Flynn

Recommended Posts

When you only see the sun two days a month in Michigan 6 months out of the year you have to listen to perky music.

Elvis Costello

Romantic s

B 52 s

Dick Dale

Rockpile

Brian Setzer

 

Can be a broad genre.

 

But what about new power pop go invigorate a cold dark night with your best friend of 36 years ?

 

Going out on a limb.... KEITH URBAN.

The Fighter with Carrie Underwood. 

 

What is your idea on 201X power pop?

Don't care for much country but do like a few of Zac Browns songs and whats on your list.

 

But I have to say I do listen to alot or reggae, not really power pop but some might be close. We have been listening to it for a long time, went to Reggae concerts 40 years ago, somewhere we have pictures of Peter Tosh taken in a place that only held maby 100 people.

That's what's really important, right there, well done. :emotion-55:

Something different you might not have heard of before, almost reggae pop :lol: One is from Hawaii and the other from California.

 

If nothing else there different, and a version of "Lean on me" you might not have heard.

Can't help with anything that new but since we are fellow Michiganders I always liked a band from just across Lake Michigan. If they are not on your radar already, check out Material Issue...one of my all time Chicago favorites. Power Pop Trio in spades.

Here's some power pop for you.  The band is Four Get Me A Nots, or fgman if you're into that whole brevity thing.  The song's called Beginning, and they are singing in English, although the strong accents can make it sound like a foreign language.

 

Here are the lyrics:

 

Beginning
 
Want to change your situation
But your pride is there
I know it must be petty but your pride is negative
With it you will never reach the top
 
Have you been aware of all
The things you have done till now
Forgetting something is the same to run away
Fuel for yourself
Call it a cornerstone
The past is something that you keep
 
People will soon forget you
They will fade away from you
The world and yourself is one, what you do
Will always come back to you
 
"Impossible no way" that's words to protect yourself
Why do you dread change cause it doesn't matter if you fail
Everyone just wants to see, you put it into action
 
Doesn't make a difference it could be anything
You could get up and go outside not say a single thing
That's how everything begins,
That's how people spark a new start

And here's the video.  They seem to play at full speed in nearly every song.
