38. Maybe Lemonheads, definitely the Mighty Mighty Lemondrops

Edited on Mon Dec-27-04 03:10 PM by patcox2

Hmm, Lemonheads are to me a pretty good cover band, their version of "Mrs. Robinson," and especially of "Different Drum" are divine, but most of their original music I heard is too laid back, stoner slacker in tone (I can't be bothered to feel enthusuiasm) and this goes against Power Pop, which is all about enthusiasm, infectious joyous enthusiasm, much more important than talent, in this genre. Thats another reason its punky.

Mighty Lemondrops - "My Biggest Thrill"

And they remind me of the Housemartins, the incredible housemartins, remember "Happy Hour?"

Strangest bit of trivia I ever heard; FatBoy Slim was the guitarist for the Housemartins.
