The energy of punk rock, and the melodicism of the above-average pop song. Beatlesque harmonies earn bonus points. First found in some garage bands of the 60s, who lacked the finesse of The Beatles, but made up for it in Who-like aggresssion. Underground bands of the 70s referred to this strain of rock about as much as they harkened back to The Stooges or New York Dolls, and even the unhip-in-its-day bubblegum pop of Kasanetz and Katz became an influence. The Flamin' Groovies and Blondie are two of many examples, but most such bands were generic new wave.
