Would Patrick Wolf be included in this? If so, i'll post some of that. Because he ranges from folk to folk with some pop influences.

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is, but pop-rock is my favorite style of music. Well, pop-rock of the eighties and the first two years of the nineties.

Always a sucker for Pop Rock albums that wound up in the cut-outs from 1966 up to around 1996. For some dumb reason.

I admit it as well. Also I have Velveteen although for some reason I think I used to have the first album.

Actually, that third album was a travel tape along with more essential albums. Great time waster

Another guilty fave. When their second album was released, it was trashed up like crazy by the critics, especially for Crystal Clear. Really, it's not that bad. Certainly no Pop Says, and an attempt to be more stylish, but at least THIS was on it. Good tune!

What's a Pop Rock thread without some Chinnchap stuff? Nothing.
Glam/Glitter era The Sweet, a total definition of Pop Rock
