Thanks for the suggestions guys. Some of you I couldn't rep, unfortunately, do to lack of being a rep slut.

No love for Fountains of Wayne? Their second album is the epitome of power pop. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UHgfjqzPbB0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Girl bands are always a good source: Vacation – The Go – Go’s Super Connected – Belly Love is the Slug – Fuzzbox Ladykillers – Lush Universal Heartbeat – Juliana Hatfield From Your Girl - The Muffs Audrey's Eyes - Velocity Girl Also: Stop This Game – Cheap Trick Turning Japanese – The Vapors Could You Be the One? – Husker Du Cause I Said So – The Godfathers Anything, Anything – Dramarama I'm an Adult Now - The Pursuit of Happyness Grey Cell Green - Ned's Atomic Dustbin Leave Me Alone - The Cave Dogs Arlington - Emmet Swimming And this doesn't really fit the genre, but you might like "All That I Wanted" by Belfegore.
That 2nd album- King- was HIGHLY underrated. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1O6kzN0RMPQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Also: Thanks..I was trying so hard to remember that song & all I could see in my head was the video... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pSDF8VvU13M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Colt 45, your list of Girl bands is spot on. I will have to check out Fuzzbox. Your mention of The Muffs blows me away. I had a dream about Kim Shattuck lat night. I met her at a gig my band was playing at Rajis in Hollywood. She was handing out invites to see her new band 'The Muffs' at an upcoming show. Recognizing her from the Pandoras I was beyond smitten and tongue tied... Ah well. The Muffs Blonder and Blonder is seriously strong power pop. I could go on, but bet ya wish I wouldn't. Another kudo for mentioning the Godfathers.
I'd never heard of the Muffs 'til I saw them open for the Goo Goo Dolls way back when. They're awesome live. I've always had a thing for girls that rock. Definitely check out Fuzzbox, the video for "Slug" is pure '80's.
this. Posies also. and I'd add this song, spoilered for greatness. Spoiler <iframe width="960" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JqcteyM2_kw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
