hi folks
As promised, here is the list of all the Greatest Powerpop CDs since 1990 according to you folks... damn, there are a lot of them lol !!!
Here are a couple of thoughts I have... a lot of people merely worded their response as "hey, how about adding xyz to the list..." so I wonder if they really meant that their suggestion was, in fact, their idea of the Greatest Powerpop, or they just thought that a certain CD was not mentioned so they thought they'd add it.... also, there was a slightly suspicious rash of Jellyfish - Spilt Milk entries that all came in consecutively in a matter of 30 minutes or so... I am not raising the spectre of an Iran-like power grab but hmmmmm.... anyway, as you'll see, there was a clear winner... here is the list.... multiple votes for an entry are in parenthesis...
