Cruel to be Kind made my list too :). I had a Trick song as well, but I chose a different one. Great choices and thanks for playing. How do you like the new site?
Some good ones! :) Happy Friday!
"Red Dragon Tattoo" is the best power pop song ever. Although it might be closer to just plain pop.
Anything by Squeeze would fit...like "Is That Love" or "Annie Get Your Gun."
Brendan Benson is also amazing. His latest album is great beginning to end, but "A Whole Lot Better" is a super juicy power pop nugget.
Mistress of the D: Although picking just five songs was hard, this was one of my fave Top 5 On Fridays topics. By the way, I do like the new site.
Jessica: Thanks!
BeckEye: I had never heard of "Red Dragon Tattoo" or "A Whole Lot Better" so I pulled them up on You Tube. I liked the latter the best. Unfortunately, I could only find live versions of "Red Dragon Tattoo", but at least I got to hear it.
I thought about Squeeze for this list. Although they have many songs to choose from like you said, I would have selected "Pulling Mussels From A Shell".
