Howcum I never see much on this site about the groovies? Think about they released a self-produced EP in 1968? Who was doin' that then? They spanned the decades from the 60s to the 80s-I would almost wager to say they invented power pop.
How 'bout some groovie love?

''Shake some action'' is one of the greatest pure power pop songs-i think its from the album''Jump into the night''.A strange case of band,from tough post-psychedelic rockers transformed in late 70s into a power rock combo.Great you remember them!

As much as I love the Groovies I think you got to go way back to the
Beatles as the pioneers of powerpop.For me I think the Raspberries
were a better band vs 70,s Flammin Groovies.Just my humble opinion.

Rasberries were really good-along with Big Star from the same period-but their albums sank commercialy from the bad production skills of Capitol.Still is a very influential power pop band,along with the personal albums of Eric Carmen.
