DOH!
stupid me.
waited so long to respond I forgot about the 1990 cutoff.
I've revised it by taking out Shoes-Present Tense and adding one more vote
to Material Issue-International Pop Overthrow.

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
