Power Pop Influences

From the culure desk of the Rising Hegemon:

This is a must read my music loving friends! Several interesting if short commentaries about the most influential musicians and bands on some creative music makers from Magnet Magazine.

And I have few quibbles with some of the comments. You all know me and that I can be quite particular about music but I've long preached an expansive definition of power pop music... But Faith No More's "Epic"? Really? If Faith No More's "Epic" is power pop then so is "Enter Sandman" by Metallica.

Good going Todd Rundgren and NRBQ!

Did anyone out there in Rising Hegemon world go to see the Raspberries in New York this weekend? If so, please report back....
