In 1979, The Knack kicked open the doors for a global power pop explosion, and a year or so later, almost as quickly, the doors closed again, but not before a mass of their contemporaries followed them through. Soon, a bunch of others got caught up in the excitement and the record business relearned the power of guitar-driven pop - the first few years of the '80s were as exciting for power pop as the last couple of the 70s had been, and even when it returned to the underground, the music continued to flow throughout the decade. I Wanna Be A Teen Again follows the 80s power pop explosion from it's hypocentre early in the decade to it's enduring late period gems, exploring both leading and lesser lights, the old hands and new talents who made it such an exciting musical happening. By the middle of the decade, the term power pop had been all but retired, but a handful of new bands found success by avoiding it, whilst new movements, including the Paisley Underground and indie pop, helped keep others alive under new brandings. All the while a small number of holdouts, the pop equivalent of the soldiers lost in the jungle after the war had ended, strove to keep the music and the name alive. Packed with classic cuts and long-overlooked rough diamonds, and appearing at a time when new outfits like The Lemon Twigs pick through the body of 80s power pop for material and inspiration and some key artists like Redd Kross and The Bangles are celebrated in books and film, I Wanna Be A Teen Again is a timely examination and celebration of this action-packed era and it's thrilling sounds.\r\n\r\n \r\nTracks\r\n- Disc 1 -\r\n1 Stiv Bators - Not That Way Anymore\r\n2 The Knack - I Want Ya\r\n3 The Know - (I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence Dear\r\n4 The Romantics - When I Look in Your Eyes\r\n5 Nikki \u0026amp; the Corvettes - Just What I Need\r\n6 Zeros - They Say That (Everything's Alright)\r\n7 MN'M's - I'm Tired\r\n8 The Flashcubes - It's You Tonight (Basement Tapes Version)\r\n9 Radio City - Don't Mistake Love\r\n10 Screen Test - Nothing Really Matters When You're Young\r\n11 Moondogs - When Sixteen Wasn't So Sweet\r\n12 The Pranks - What's the Point\r\n13 NRBQ - You Can't Hide\r\n14 Utopia - I Just Want to Touch You\r\n15 The Shivvers - Please Stand By\r\n16 Eric Carmen - It' Hurts Too Much\r\n17 Hilly Michaels - Calling All Girls\r\n18 Promise - Back in My Heart\r\n19 The Late Show - Take a Chance\r\n20 The Heats - Remember Me\r\n21 Off Broadway - Quick Turns\r\n22 Shoes - She Satisfies\r\n23 The Everythingers - Saccharine\r\n24 Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl\r\n25 SVT - Love Blind\r\n26 Tommy Hoehn - Get Away\r\n27 Phil Seymour - Precious to Me\r\n28 David Quinton - Make Up Your Mind\r\n- Disc 2 -\r\n1 The Flamin' Groovies - So Much in Love\r\n2 The Plimsouls - Now\r\n3 20\/20 - the Night I Heard a Scream\r\n4 Great Buildings - Hold on to Something\r\n5 The Go-Gos - How Much More\r\n6 The Wigs - Tell It All\r\n7 The Rubinoos - Let's Make It Tonight\r\n8 The Toms - (I Wanna Be a) Teen Again\r\n9 The Michael Guthrie Band - Sorry About That\r\n10 Eddy Best - Things I Should've Said\r\n11 The Decoys - Not the Tremblin' Kind\r\n12 Marshall Crenshaw - Cynical Girl\r\n13 The Bongos - the Bulrushes\r\n14 The Floor Models - You'll Come Around\r\n15 Paul Collins' Beat - the Kids Are the Same\r\n16 Dwight Twilley - I'm Back Again\r\n17 Cheap Trick - If You Want My Love\r\n18 Bruce Moody - Am Romance\r\n19 The Bangles - Mary Street\r\n20 The Spongetones - Here I Go Again\r\n21 The Fad - Where the Colours Are\r\n22 Club Wow - What's with You\r\n23 Jim Basnight \u0026amp; the Moberlys - I Want to Be Yours 24 Steve Rosenbaum - Girl from Seventeen\r\n24 25 Let's Active - Every Word Means No\r\n25 Ramones - My My Kind of Girl\r\n- Disc 3 -\r\n1 Fastbacks - Now Is the Time\r\n2 Game Theory - Too Late for Tears\r\n3 The DB's - Love Is for Lovers\r\n4 Katrina and the Waves - Do You Want Crying\r\n5 Candy - Whatever Happened to Fun\r\n6 Julian Leal - You and I\r\n7 Riff Doctors - Turn Me on\r\n8 The Beat Rodeo - Just Friends\r\n9 Gary Herrewig - Hurt You Too\r\n10 Windbreakers - Can't Go on This Way\r\n11 Tommy Keene - Places That Are Gone (Geoff Emerick Version)\r\n12 The Smithereens - Strangers When We Meet\r\n13 The Mosquitos - That Was Then, This Is Now\r\n14 Sex Clark Five - I Want You Mine\r\n15 The Patriots - It Don't Show\r\n16 Flying Color - Dear Friend (Album Version)\r\n17 Bill Lloyd - Lisa Anne\r\n18 The Long Ryders - I Want You Bad\r\n19 Chris 'Klondike' Masuak - How Could He Resist?\r\n20 The Infidels - I Can't Make You Mine\r\n21 Redd Kross - Ballad of a Love Doll\r\n22 Material Issue - Renee Remains the Same\r\n23 The Pursuit of Happiness - She's So Young\r\n24 Velvet Crush - Walking Out on Love\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/18\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43203720740887,"sku":"OOO","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/8099\/9959\/files\/various-artists-i-wanna-be-a-teen-again-american-power-pop-1980-1989-import-3-cds_A9ABE.jpg?v=1757729314","url":"https:\/\/animeimports.net\/products\/i-wanna-be-a-teen-again-american-power-pop-1980-1989-import-3-cds-cd","provider":"Anime Imports LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
