Great playlist! If you consider it power-poppy enough, I would also nominate "Pink Turns to Blue" by Hüsker Dü.

You and I think alike. You have no idea how many times I considered adding that one! Ridiculous how much I labor over these playlists. Thanks for checking it out.

Glad you dig it! Choosing a random theme for a playlist is challenging, but there is some really great music here. Enjoy.

A lot of people don't know that Todd Rundgren did the lion's share of production on "Straight Up" (and, thus, "Baby Blue") after George Harrison left the project due to his increasing commitment to the Bangla Desh charity concert. So, let's toss "Crazy Lady Blue" into the mix as well. [From "Oops Wrong Planet" by Utopia, 1977. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbqn-RFssDc]

Blue - The Jayhawks

Blue Cassette - Friendly Fires

Blue - LeAnn Rimes

Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt

Blue Letter - Fleetwood Mac

Blue - Marina & the Diamonds

Nice! Jayhawks was on there…but I cap these at 40 songs, so they ultimately fell off.

I'd also add Pete Townshend's "Brilliant Blues" from White City. Love that song.
