I've seen better years when it comes to really great albums being
released within 365.25 days
but there's a few on this list I could see myself listening to in 10
years time.
Not many power pop releases showed up on my list this year but the ones
that did (The Whigs, Army Navy
and Friendly Foes) rocked my puny little world.
If you got some time to kill, do check out this week's episode of me
podcast:
