Great post.

The Hudson Brother's first 3 LPs "Hudson" "Totally Out of Control" and "Hollywood Situation" are some of the best Beatles-esque powerpop ever made... Maybe behind on only Badfinger, Big Star and later Twilley in terms of quantity and probably more consistently good in my opinion than the Raspberries.
The fourth Ba Fa is pretty good as well but the production is very mainstream "1975".


They also some cool pop garage singles on Jerden as The New Yorkers and a great bubblegum single as Everyday Hudson.

Too bad no one's put more of their best songs on youtube.


A personal anecdote: I saw Mark Hudson a couple of years back leaving a restaurant in the East Village and my girlfriend (who's a powerpop fanatic) excitedly squealed out the tile of one of their best songs "Anytime at All!" and he acted really nervous and walked the other way quickly.
