It's Pop Rock Week!
 

you mean stuff like these?:-









i always get it confused with "power-pop"

Would Patrick Wolf be included in this? If so, i'll post some of that. Because he ranges from folk to folk with some pop influences.

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is, but pop-rock is my favorite style of music. Well, pop-rock of the eighties and the first two years of the nineties.

Always a sucker for Pop Rock albums that wound up in the cut-outs from 1966 up to around 1996. For some dumb reason.

i used to really have such a thing for Wendy James

I admit it as well. Also I have Velveteen although for some reason I think I used to have the first album.

Actually, that third album was a travel tape along with more essential albums. Great time waster

Another guilty fave. When their second album was released, it was trashed up like crazy by the critics, especially for Crystal Clear. Really, it's not that bad. Certainly no Pop Says, and an attempt to be more stylish, but at least THIS was on it. Good tune!

What's a Pop Rock thread without some Chinnchap stuff? Nothing.
Glam/Glitter era The Sweet, a total definition of Pop Rock

A true legend!

His 1979 album Frequency was quickly found in the cut-outs. Under-rated Pop Rock from the singer known best for "Hot Child In the City."

is your name O.B.Tuse by any chance?

Pop rock at it's best

Love this live performance of one of my favorite Cars songs.

Yes, Screen 13, Marc Bolan made some very enjoyable music in his day.

I used to live ten minute`s walk away from the place where he lost his life :-

For anyone who doesn`t know the circumstances, one night in 1977 Marc`s girlfriend was driving him home in her mini when she went off a road that is quite exceptional for London; a quiet, little-used road running through a small stretch of woods called Barnes Common, it has a curve and a humpbacked bridge over a railway track, which is where she lost control of the car. Back in the old days, the bridge wasn`t important enough to warrant a name of its own, but since the accident locals now refer to it as "Bolan Bridge", in the rather dry, humourous way of Londoners.

Anyway, back on topic, one of my favourites of pop rock is from this under-rated 1979 album; Angel Station by Manfred Mann :-
