Comment:

This is my "power pop" mix based on a recent article in Magnet online. A bunch of musicians named their favorite tracks from the genre, and I tracked them down and figured out which were the best. I left out a few of the more popular choices like Big Star because I wanted to focus on bands I didn't know as well, like the dB's, the Flamin' Groovies and Raspberries.

Lotsa cool tracks here. Always nice to see some love thrown to the dB's. I might define power pop a bit differently (or more narrowly) -- not sure if Heart, Faith No More, or Abba make the cut -- but plenty of faves here. I've made similar efforts (i.e. here and here).
