From 1994, please enjoy the great Bill Lloyd and my favorite song from his absolutely brilliant album Set to Pop -- "I Went Electric."
I raved about that record in the pages of the Magazine Formerly Known as Stereo Review at the time it came out, and it's only because I'm a horribly lazy slacker that I haven't found a link to that critique, despite the fact I sort of vaguely know where it's archived.
In any case, Bill is a genuine hero of power pop -- in case you haven't noticed, the song title is a wonderfully clever Bob Dylan homage -- and I'm gonna be posting some more of his stuff next week, but in a totally different context. Check this space, as we say.
I should add that Set to Pop is still available over at Amazon HERE and you need to hear the rest of it. Act now.

This album took me from being a casual power pop fan to damn near keeping NotLame in business. And this song was the #1 reason for that. Five stars.
Love that album - my favorite song is Forget About Us
Bill Lloyd is very good!
If I remember Stereo Review named this one of the top albums of 1990-and for good reason, just all around excellent-top rate songs, playing, production, singing also solos!. Including IMHO a great cover of This Is Where I Belong.
