I agree with Mr Holmes and Mr Mason..
It seems that people can take themselves a little too ¨seriously¨with regards to their list of top 200 albums..I think if you publish a book and list the Top anything..you are inviting critiques and praise..I don´t have the book but given how sensible John B is, I am sure that he has a visible disclaimer near the list that explains this is his opinion and not necessarily the consensus of the power pop audience.. .
For that matter..it would be interesting to find out from this list what are the top 200 albums of all time..I would like to see what we would come up with if we were to tabulate a list from Bash, Borack, Mason, Holmes, Honorama, etc etc..we can even invite mr oakes to join the party...
maybe the paperback edition can have a borack vs audities top 200 list..and then mr borack can write while the audities list is all wrong..
