About this listen

Fun, bright, and playful, power pop is a sometimes adored, sometimes maligned, often misunderstood genre of music. From its heyday in the '70s and '80s to its resurgence in the '90s and '00s, power pop has meant many things to many people. In Go All the Way, today's best and brightest writers go deep on what certain power pop bands and songs mean and have meant to them. Whether they love or hate it, Go All the Way is a dive into the Beatles-inspired pop rock of the last five decades.

I have to admit I listened to this because it was ‘included’ in my audible package. And what a pleasant surprise. Initially hooked in by the reference to Bad Dinger, whilst I found this set of essays started slowly, and a couple were a little to repetitive for my likening, despite this being predominantly about US music, it was nevertheless very interesting. And the pleasant surprise was that I got to learn about a number of bands I’d never heard of (not successful in the UK) which has been great fun. And I now truly know what Power Pop music is all about. Stuart
