No particular order - too tough. It's an 'oldies' list for sure. I
started by picking the 100 or so favorite albums from my life I knew
inside out and backwards, then picked the ones from that that typified
the type of music I wanted to promote when I started my 'power pop'
radio show 6 or 7 years ago.
After that I found Audities, Not Lame, Kool Kat and various other
sources of product and information - but the 'radio years' were kinda
bloated purchase wise, and I'm still working through a lot of that
stuff. Some of those - though big favorites - still hold some
mysteries for me like these don't. If that makes any sense. But
these are the albums I was naturally attracted to in my youth before I
had any kind of name for the genre. Trimming it was painfull.
