El otro día #PaulCollins decía en #ElSótano de R3 que no comulgaba con la definición "oficial" de #PowerPop que dio don #PeteTownshend en el '66 ó ''67.

Ni siquiera otorgaba la primogenitura del género a #TheRaspberries, ni a los #FlaminGroovies (por extensión, ni a #Badfinger, #BigStar ni otras bandas de esa era), a los que consideraba precursores.

Much to the chagrin of abstinence advocates everywhere, The Raspberries, led by the late, great Eric Carmen, dropped this Go All the Way 53 years ago and created Power Pop.

Absolutely gorgeous—that opening riff still gives me chills.
