I would say "The Kids are Alright" fits in the power pop vein
For sure, which is why I posted it.
It's not what classic power pop ultimately became defined by, but it laid the groundwork.
The Beatles and Who are who the power poppers cut their teeth on.
IMO Power Pop was their filtering of the Beatlemania strain of The British Invasion with jangly guitars added to the harmonies.

Didn't scroll through the thread to see if this one was already posted. Still good enough for a repeat if so.

"Hanging On The Telephone" by The Nerves, famously covered by Blondie.

My favorite Blondie song by far.
