another incredibly specific genre thread here (see italo/synthpop, power pop, shoegaze/dreampop, and the coldwave/post-punk thread that i'll make one night when i'm overtired/drunk and will probably be the only one posting in there, but i digress).
jangle pop takes a lot of influences from the 60s--- byrds, beach boys, big star, the hollies, etc. and a little bit of psychedelic garage/nico and television kind of thing and generally updated these great influences in a post-punk world. also dubbed paisley underground partially due to the excellent shirts (pretty much a cornerstone of my wardrobe today).
anyway, a few favorite tracks:
(the guitarist left the wild flowers after their AMAZING debut LP and formed the mighty lemon drops)
this kind of stuff was also highly influential on shoegaze--- with bands like opal & house of love walking a fine line between jangle pop and what would be known as shoegaze. opal (also featuring dave robek of rain parade) would become mazzy star with the departure of kendra smith.
