"economical arrangements" isn't that just a nice way of saying repetitive and simple compositions?

These guys can have the "powerpop" tag. "Power pop" looks a lot cleaner anyways ;)

"Power pop" is a very flexible term. A lot of people here are miffed by the top artists, and, I think, for a good reason, too: they're hardly the most representative artists of power pop. It's pretty fucking weird and confusing, though. You don't see this kind of thing outside last.fm since "power pop" and "powerpop" are both synonymous with each other. Allmusic and RateYourMusic all have groups like Big Star and Cheap Trick under top artists/releases. All the power pop blogs I've read or skimmed through don't have anything to do with the bands or music here.
