VARIOUS - SOME SOUNDALIKES (2010)
I guess you all remember Dave Edmunds paying tribute to the Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, or how many bands have contributed to the Beatlesque history of Power Pop and some other artists searching for the perfect harmonies of Brian Wilson, even The Fab Four did this with "Paperback Writer". All those bands have something in common, the love and respect for these forerunners. So instead of covering some classic tunes, they wrote original songs, mixed and produced them in the spirit of the bands we all love.

looking forward to this one! thanks!
Holy crap, I never knew about L.E.O. before. Thanks for this comp if only for that one band!
Another fantastic PPC collection! Thanks for four years of hard work and endless listening pleasure!
Your knowledge is amazing, and it needs to be to put together comps like this one. Thanks so much.
Nice compilation. Thank you Angelo!
BTW, there is a small website devoted entirely to soundalikes. Many are power pop related:

Thanks a lot,this is one of the best compilations i've ever heard...tons of great melodies/harmonies...every day i visit your blog after work it makes me feel better...thanks again!
This could be your best compilation yet. Thanks so much.
Like one of your other contributors I'd be interested to know who you think each track most resembles.
The two ELO homages that kick off your Comp are excellent. Looking forward to hearing the rest.
don't know password - don't know song - not worth the trouble - too bad, looked like a good blog.....
The password is "password" but I agree that that is kinda needlessly frustrating.
I love the blog, but why intentionally scare off newbies?
Great comp by the way. It's my favorite power pop comp since the first 3 mixes that the Teenage Lobotomy blog put out in the last year. Those lean more to the garage-rock side of power pop, but that's fine by me, since the Real Kids are my favorite band.
Cheers.
Thanks, great comp! Fantastic Cars soundalikes and that L.E.O. song is absolutely brilliant. I just ordered their album; I hope it's all that quality.
Any chance of a repost? This is one of my faves you've done! Thanks!
