Yeah, the Raspberries were fantastic.

I'd consider Marshall Crenshaw power pop too though his sound was a bit different from the norm of that genre. Judging from his looks, I wonder if he was thinking more along the lines of Buddy Holly

These guys weren't as successful as the Raspberries, but they too have their place in Power Pop lore

^ Nice pick, rubber soul - I'd forgotten all about that tune.

Yes, he definitely looks similar to Holly - and Marshall started out by playing John Lennon in the Beatlemania stage musical, so maybe he was partial to those Lennonesque NHS round spectacles.

Adding some Flamin' Groovies here to the power pop pile:
