These are songs that sound like a perfect mix of 60's British and American rock and pop music.
These are songs largely about adolescence, girls and good times.
These are songs with guitars that ring with clean riffs and warm fuzz, while jingling and jangling at the same time.
These songs are full of handclaps.
These are songs with combinations of chords that make you feel like smiling and driving with the windows down.
These are songs with perfectly blended vocals and harmonies.
These are songs that are cleverly crafted, but never take themselves too seriously.
These are songs that are less about pushing musical boundaries, and more about three minutes of perfectly executed fun and happiness.
These songs are from the best and most important period of time for one of my favourite genres of music.
Also, many of these songs are also on this Power Pop playlist on Rdio
