Big Star - "The Ballad of El Goodo"
The quintessential power pop band.
The Raspberries - "Go All The Way"
The song starts out with a Who-esque guitar onslaught before giving way to some fairly lame crooning, which only lasts for a few seconds before the waves of classic harmonies come in. Dorky goodness.
Teenage Fanclub - "The Concept"
It's kind of crazy that Spin named a power pop album, Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque, the #1 album of 1991, ahead of Nirvana's Nevermind. This song is the leadoff track from that album, a power pop epic.
The Exploding Hearts - "Throwaway Style"
I subscribe to the theory that if The Exploding Hearts had lived to make another album, they would have become the forerunners of a new power pop movement. Dammit.
Chris Bell - "I Am The Cosmos"
Feel free to ignore the lame fan-made video (nice star wipes!).
