14. Power-pop really had form (even if not the name) before punk had form.
Big Star, a lot of glam, even the Beatles and Kinks I would consider power-pop. The subgenre really took off, and got its name, around the same time punk took off in the late-'70s.

Pop-punk is, of course, an offshoot from punk. Power-pop is, ultimately, and offshoot from the British Invasion.
