Page "Power pop" Paragraph 26

In the 1980s and 1990s, power pop continued as a commercially modest genre.

Artists such as The Spongetones, Marshall Crenshaw, Del Amitri, Enuff Z ' nuff, The Smithereens, Matthew Sweet, Tommy Keene, Redd Kross, Material Issue and The Posies drew inspiration from Big Star, The Beatles and glam rock groups of the early 1970s like T. Rex and Sweet.

Albums such as Jellyfish's Bellybutton ( 1990 ) and Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque ( 1991 ) would be greatly influential within the genre, but few translated to mainstream success.
