I have a playlist called "Power Pop" and this song is on it along with another couple hundred tracks.

The positive upbeat pop music of the past was always so refreshing. This pretty much came to a halt in the mid 1980s. Much of today's "pop" is angry rap or synthesized artificial crap that gives me a headache.

Give me a clean guitar sound, clever lyrics, some drums and a keyboard. Also, throw in some horns here and there.

Hear, hear! I've looked in vain for new artists carrying that flag - although a few from the heyday (e.g. Gin Blossoms) are still recording.
