The Reemergence Of The Green Monkey

Lately, I just feel like making a mix tape. Is there anyone else who wants to play?

Let's go for Volume 11 of the Green Monkey Music Project!

The theme for this project is going to be POWER POP. If you need a refresher/tutorial/clue, please feel free to peruse this Wikipedia entry to get a basic sense of what constitutes power pop.

I am not looking to be extremely stringent about what falls into the category. For me, it's up-front drums playing a mid-tempo beat, the guitars are loud and cutting, and the melody is catchy, even pretty.

For example, Cheap Trick's "Surrender" is an absolutely perfect power pop song. And that's going to be what kicks off this edition of the GMMP.

How about we have five participants, each allotted eight songs to play with? With me participating, that leaves four other people to sign up!

Please note: There is one minor though important change to this volume of the GMMP. Participants should be prepared to supply every song they submit to this mix (if I don't have the song or am unable to obtain it, I'm going to be asking you for it).

Okay. I feel better now.

LET'S ROCK!!!!!!!!!!


UPDATE:

Alright, alright, since the monkey has been gone for so long, I will let all people that have requested participation into the mix (besides, you can't have too much power pop).

So, here are the participants:

Splotchy
Bubs
Domboy
Allen L.
Tenacious S
Westcoast Walker
Lulu

Just post your selections as a comment on this post, fellow monkeyers. Remember, if I can't find the song, you'll be expected to come up with it.
