Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

- PowerPop gets right down to the Rock/Pop question...
- One thing commonly aimed for is to Blend two kinds Music, hopefully for cross-over appeal. It's harder than people think to not mess up for one or the other if you do that!

CP fancies himself in the same league as EFD, throwdown ensues. 12-string Rickenbackers used often by both sides. Clay stumbles over prog and hair metal heritage, EFD turns in fab survey of Power Pop. Announcer reminds us this was an exhibition, not a competition, and not to try this at home with your father's records.
Holly in NC:
Cheap Trick alone not enough to counter.
efd wins this round, a rematch will be excellent!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Clay & efd!
