VA - Track FIVE Vol. 01 (A Butterboy Compilation) The Power Pop Edition (10 x CDs)

TRACK FIVE SERIES

VA - Track FIVE Vol. 01 (A Butterboy Compilation) The Power Pop Edition (10 x CDs)

Have you ever wondered what track five of your albums has to offer? We often pay attention to the opening and closing tracks, but what about the ones in between? Could they be hidden gems waiting to be discovered?   That’s the idea behind this series of compilations, to explore the fifth tracks of various albums and genres and see what surprises they have in store. You might find some familiar tunes, some forgotten classics, or some new favorites. 

This series is based on completion albums I own, as well as tracks suggested by the amazing My Compilations team. I hope to cover all kinds of music in this series and introduce you to some songs you might have missed or overlooked.

The first volume is all about power pop, a style of pop music that features catchy melodies, crunchy guitars, and upbeat rhythms. Power pop is always fun and enjoyable, even when it’s not a hit. Here are 250 power pop songs over 10 CD's that will make you smile and rock out.

This is not your usual compilation. It’s not about the hits or the best songs. It’s about the fifth tracks that deserve some love and attention. Welcome to the world of track five!

    1. Hi StoneRose,
      Hope you like the others. When I went fishing, I didn't catch a Jellyfish which is bizarre.
