Just by coincidence, I was reading reviews of their albums and found this on AllMusic:

Moving even further away from their alt-country roots, the Old 97's fifth effort(Satellite Rides) is a consistently engaging and unpretentious strummy power pop nugget.

Heard this on the car radio today which was new to my ears. Very good song!

You honestly believe "Mystery Dance" to be a power pop song?

I never thought of Bowie's side project as power pop but listening to it recently, I say it is. It pushes the envelop a little on it. I use to have this cassette many moons ago.

Tin Machine

One Shot

no

PP vocals are not angry

PP seeks order (symbolized by vocal harmony) not disorder

This has been mentioned a jillion times in this thread but I can’t believe in nine pages (and if I missed it I apologize, I scanned quickly) nobody has posted a video, like this one with the great Richard Lloyd on guitar and a drummer who is having a whole bunch of fun,
