If you're not an audiophile, go get an eMusic subscription right away; many of the albums being recommended are available there for as little as 27 cents a song. Everything (well, almost) is encoded at hi-quality VBR MP3s, so the sound is execellent.
Once you subscribe, make sure you go to Steve Fs excellent Absolute Powerpop blog (http://www.absolutepowerpop.blogspot.com/) where you'll find lists of great powerpop available on eMu for the past three years. And you should also check half.com, etc. as you can find lots of these super cheap; the shipping may cost you more than the CDs.
Oh, and here's a few I haven't seen listed yet:
P. Hux - Deluxe
Wes Cunningham - Pollyanna
Jon Brion - Meaningless
Teenage Fanclub - Songs From Northern England
The Orange Peels - So Far
The Mayflies USA - Summertown / The Pity List
The Bigger Lovers - How I Learned to Stop Worrying
The Churchills - You Are Here / Big Ideas

np: Groundswell's Supersweet- awesome disc I recently picked up from Not
Lame...could be a late contender for tops of 2006.
