the Muffs, the Donnas, the Eyeliners, the Shitbirds, Banana Erectors and Supersnazz all play fun, upbeat, catchy pop/punk/rock'n'roll kinda stuff that puts a smile on my face and a spring in my step. there may be a touch of raunch in some of them (it is rock'n'roll after all), but nothing a youngster would pick up on (you may not want your two-year old daughter toddling around saying "shitbird" or "banana erector", but those are the two cutest, most kid-friendly bands on the list.)
Aqua are the greatest commercial pop group of the last decade.
the Ronettes, the Crystals and the Shangri-Las are all great, and all had quite a few upbeat, good-time moments. |
