Best Power Pop of 2008 and Lists

Last night I figured I will never get all my reviews done before the years end. So, I officially announce the Powerpopaholic Top Ten Poll of 2008

Scroll down the the bottom right column of the blog to make your pick. A lot of readers asked for my personal top ten list, and I really don’t have one (I don’t want to piss off all those Bryan Scary fans). But I do have 32 top picks that made my polling list this year. If you forgot who they are, the links to each review is below. Remember: VOTE NOW TIL NEW YEARS
The Wellingtons “Heading North For The Winter”

Kelly Jones “SheBANG!”

Rob Bonfiglio “Bring On The Happy”

The Junipers “Cut Your Key”

Class Three Overbite “Horses For Courses”

Julie Ocean “Long Gone And Nearly There”

The Well Wishers “Jigsaw Days”

Greg Pope “Popmonster”

The Smith Bros. “Restless”

Readymade Breakup “Alive on the Vine”

Starling Electric “Clouded Staircase”

The Bellfuries “Palmyra”

As for other lists — Steve is doing a great job at his blog listing a top 200 – and that is too much work for me. Here is the “famous” list of John M. Borack’s Top 200 Power Pop albums and the more recent reader picked Shake Some Action Revisited 200 Power Pop albums and lets not forget The Pop Show Top 200 albums
