About this listen

Fun, bright, and playful, power pop is a sometimes adored, sometimes maligned, often misunderstood genre of music. From its heyday in the '70s and '80s to its resurgence in the '90s and '00s, power pop has meant many things to many people. In Go All the Way, today's best and brightest writers go deep on what certain power pop bands and songs mean and have meant to them. Whether they love or hate it, Go All the Way is a dive into the Beatles-inspired pop rock of the last five decades.

Power Pop perfection

If you're a Power Pop lover this is the book for you! So informative and read with enthusiasm. Great performance. I'll definitely be coming back for a second listen.

Unengaging

This book, with a very few exceptions, is not about the music, but, rather, how the music affected the writer. And generally I could not care less. No one offered a real definition of power pop, and the generalities used about power pop differed from author to author. This book was listed in the ‘music’ category, but is mostly personal reminisces. The reader was good, but the writing did not not make me care about the writer. A waste of my time if not yours.

What even is Power Pop?

What is Power Pop? Well, read this book and learn it means something different to everybody. Seriously, that's about all to take away from this book.
