Here’s a great power pop song to get you going on a Tuesday. A little more on the hard edge of power pop but I’ll take it. Last Great Dreamers are an English band that first formed in the 90s, broke up and looks like reformed in 2014.
Thanks to music blogger The Soul of a Clown for highlighting this group recently.
Another favorite of mine from the early 90s
Not exactly one hit wonders but this band has been off my radar since their 1998 minor hit “The Way”. Here’s a recent release for your Monday morning.
Here’s a melancholy Sunday morning song….
Rainy Sunday morning here – this one felt right
This multi-Juno award winning band from Canada has been around over 10 years but I first heard them when they opened for Frank Turner. This is a new one
So you never thought you’d hear a bluegrass band cover The Who? Well now you have……… You’re welcome
Well since its Friday… this song perfectly sums up the longing for the work week to be over so you can get to the weekend and have fun. The Easybeats were an Australian band who had their only real hit in the US with this song in 1966. Produced by the legendary producer Shel Talmy and later covered by David Bowie. Fun fact – guitarist George Young, who co-wrote this song with guitarist Harry Vanda, is the older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young of AC/DC.
Going way back for this one.
This takes me right back to college in the early 80’s – this song was guaranteed to get the party going on a Friday night! Amazingly it wasn’t that big a hit at the time. They would have bigger hits with Talking in Your Sleep a few years later. But to me this is the perfect power pop gem.
