Ah, school dances and songs about kissing. It all seemed so safe and innocent (on the surface!). Then psychedelic rock came along and overnight we were supposed to follow Alice, go all the way, and light someone's fire. It's weird to look back on how quickly things moved on from kissing. It must have been a challenge to be a parent back then!

I think there was that big cultural shift, for sure, and there’s also the shift that happens for each in individual over time.

Yes! First kiss with some random - older girl. I was 12? A bunch of us were in Jimmy Gs gang way. Crazy how vivid all except her name! 😆

Great list. Would Prince’s “Kiss” be considered power pop? It fits the mold, IMO. 🙂
