List of power pop artists and songs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Power pop is a music genre which is a more aggressive form of pop rock.[1] Although its mainstream success peaked in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the genre continues to influence new artists.[2]
The following list is divided in two sections. The first section includes notable power pop bands and solo artists, while the second section includes power pop songs by power pop artists, as well as power pop songs by artists whose main music genre is not power pop. Solo artists are listed alphabetically by last name, and groups are listed alphabetically by the first letter (not including the article "the").
