As it turns out I'm a big fan. I've loved the Mamas and the Papas and the Fifth Dimension since I was a kid (mom grooved on 'em) and the Association is a band (?) I considered a guilty pleasure. (I figgered anyone with supposed taste or rock-n-roll cred would turn a nose up at 'em.) Of the current groups that might get tossed into the Sunshine Pop category Belle and Sebastian are one of all time favorite bands. Fer anyone that digs this style of pop I'd suggest checkin' out Josh Rouse. His 2003 quasi-concept album 1972 is chock fulla Sunshine Pop sounds.
