Action Now: 20/20 Re-Envisioned

by Various

supported by

Mark Cousens 20/20 were an underrated power pop outfit, here is the best of their catalogue covered by a load more underrated power pop outfits. All great acts who deserve further listening Favorite track: Yellow Pills.

rugrat907 Amazing songs performed by some of the best powerpop bands around today. Coulda shoulda been hits back in the day and today. Favorite track: She's an Obsession.

Robbie Rist I know its completely bad ass!

Chris Staros (tcbstaros) I remember seeing 20/20 at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, California around 1978, when they found out they got signed. They were my favorite live local SoCal band, and I saw them several times. And as great as their debut album was, they were so much better live. Glad to see they’ve stayed in the hearts of so many others, and y’all had the idea to pay tribute in ... 2020. Nice job!
