Pop Songs (Possibly Girly) that are Great (When No One's Watching)

I find it interesting that two of the biggest "artists" to come out of the greater San Marcos - New Braunfels megopolis (Sixpence & Blue October) are annoyingly precious acts that make me want to stab my eardrums out with an icepick.

God, I love Squeeze.  I could live on that kind of pop (Squeeze, Split Enz + Crowded House, Matthew Sweet) for the rest of my life.

This live version goes a little harder than the radio version...

Drummer is kicking ass.

Split Enz were great.

 

One of my best friends got called a f$* for listening to Matthew Sweet like 30 years ago by another guy we know, and to this day it's the first thing I think of whenever I hear Matthew Sweet and chuckle to myself. I actually like Sweet myself, just to be clear.

"Girlfriend" is a mainstay on my (mental) 10 Desert Island disc list.  I absolutely love that album.

On of the best Power Pop albums ever. Guitar work by Richard Lloyd, Lloyd Cole and Robert Quine.
Oh hell yeah.

It's interesting, I tend to think of it as extremely poppy, but the guitar work is totally smokin' and even kinda dark at times.

I couldn't decide if this belonged in covers, or live performance, or girly pop.  I decided on the latter.  Two of the two most gifted young female singers doing justice to Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over".  I've long been a fan of Miley, her low alto is amazing, although she pushes it too much.  Ariana's pure tone and chameleon-like ability to sound like anybody is astonishing, as is her always-dead-on pitch.  I wish she chose better material.  Anyway, I dig this, as much for the song (which is brilliant in and of itself) as the performance.  Did I mention Neil Finn's a friggin' genius?
