D.I.Y.: Mass Ave. - The Boston Scene (1975-83)

I was sure that someone would have thrown a vote to "Yellow Pills." 20/20 was such a big deal to late-90s power pop fans.

I forgot to vote in this one or I might've gone with Yellow Pills because I do love that song. Could equally have gone for Holly & The Italians or Chris Stamey though. I have both of those 7"s. Tomorrow Night by the Shoes is another favourite of mine that got 0 votes.

20/20 was such a big deal to late-90s power pop fans.

Was it? I had no idea, that's cool. I worked in a record store when that first album came out and we played it to death. Friends' band plays "Cheri" and "Remember the Lightning" now.

I know there was a power pop zine called "Yellow Pills" that was around all through the 90s and for a couple of years it seemed like everyone who was in a revival surf/garage band then would only talk about 20/20 or The Shoes once exotica was played out.

Yeah, Yellow Pills had a label for a few years: https://www.discogs.com/label/474574-Yellow-Pills

But the best Yellow Pills related release is this one from Numero: https://www.discogs.com/master/459183-Various-Yellow-Pills-Prefill
