songs like sugar 'a good idea' and dexter freebish 'leaving town'

what's the "power pop/alt-rock with highly satisfying choruses" canon?

I’d never heard the Dexter Freebish song before. It sounds like a mid-00s Nashville song with a pop punk chorus stitched in.

it's so sick

not really sure what those two have in common but how about wide open space by mansun, feed the tree by belly, and 86'd by subcircus (which is mislabelled on spotify so youtube it).
