From
Magnet Magazine online, in an "Interviews" section on artist's picks for best Power Pop song.
Steve Albini
The bands you mention (Big Star, Raspberries, Flamin?? Groovies, Cheap Trick, Dwight Twilley, Shoes, dB??s, Matthew Sweet, Posies) are utterly unrelated. I can tolerate some of them, love the Flamin?? Groovies and Cheap Trick and have a profound hatred of the rest. I cannot bring myself to use the term ??power pop.? Catchy mock-descriptive terms are for dilettantes and journalists. I guess you could say I think this music is for pussies and should be stopped.
