"another great late '08/early '09 add by emusic. I love the raw sound of this trio and the sonic power they bring to the table." less

"This must have been added in late 200..." more

"This must have been added in late 2008 early 2009- but this album is unbelievable. Spiltsville does a fantastic job of emulating The Beach Boys (PET sounds) and The Beatles (Rubber SOUL). Every song is a keeper, making this album a total must have." less

"This is the lone widely available Che..." more

"This is the lone widely available Cherry Twister album, and what an album it is. Soft vocal harmonies over engaging guitars. Frontman Steve Ward doesn't have any of his solo stuff on here, but check out the Parallax Project for the work of Cherry Twister's Michael Giblin." less

"The Gigolo Aunts were briefly on top ..." more

"The Gigolo Aunts were briefly on top of the mainstream powerpop world in the late 90s (i.e. 'Where I Find My Heaven' in Dumb and Dumber). This album is a great closer to their existance." less

""Cake?!?!" you say? If you've only he..." more

""Cake?!?!" you say? If you've only heard the stuff they play on the radio, you're missing some of their best work." less

"Cliff has a very distinct sound and h..." more

"Cliff has a very distinct sound and has really involved himself with a who's who of power pop. Examples include Starbelly, IKE, Wisely, Myracle Brah, just to name a few. Both of his albums have great songs on them (check out Grounded on this one)." less

"I'd be remiss if I didn't mention CVS..." more

"I'd be remiss if I didn't mention CVS on this list. His catelogue is huge. Songs can be hit or miss, but he seems to write 'epic' feeling songs. Not sure if it's the vocals or chord progressions or what?" less

"Great, heartfelt songwriting and powe..." more

"Great, heartfelt songwriting and powerpop in general. Pam from 'The Office' loves this guy's music, no seriously. The entire album is worth looking at." less

"It's a double album. There's some fil..." more

"It's a double album. There's some filler (or experimentation) on here. But fans of Cotton Mather will find a handful of tracks on here that are worth getting. Hurricane Judy / Drugstore Bust are worth looking at." less

"Jim's first album is still his best: ..." more

"Jim's first album is still his best: varied, smart, yet emotional and dark. Peter Pan is the standout track, easily (though you might not be able to tell by the sample provided)." less

"For those that don't know of The Nine..." more

"For those that don't know of The Nines, you are in for a treat. Beautiful melodies, driving beats, strong vocals, and piano: Steve Eggers and the Nines have prodcued some of the best PowerPop in the 2000s. Check out their latest 2 albums (Calling Distance Stations and Grand Jukles Field) for even more of this ear candy." less

"Found this album on CD baby for $5, a..." more

"Found this album on CD baby for $5, and it's actually pretty good. They don't stray much in style, but if you like that particular style, then this album may be for you." less

"This trio knows how to outright rock...." more

"This trio knows how to outright rock. I love the rawness of their sound, and yet they make it sound good. Their riffing got them in a Bud commerical with 'Goodbye American Man.'" less

"Granted, LSMJ is a local Delaware bea..." more

"Granted, LSMJ is a local Delaware beach party band, don't dismiss them quite yet. Power Pop legend Cliff Hillis does have some ties to the songwriting of this band, and some members of LSMJ write pretty good songs in their own right. It's a live album, but it does sample songs from their excellent 1st 2 studio albums (not found on emusic) alongside of a bunch of covers." less

"A great live sampler album from a sim..." more

"A great live sampler album from a simply amazing Canadian band. You'll love their personalities, their musical versatility, their vocal harmonies, and their songwriting abilities. I think their songs sound better on here than on the actual studio albums (I'm looking at you Bargainville)." less

"This album is home-grown powerpop fro..." more

"This album is home-grown powerpop from the 70s and is The Toms' second. The same guy plays all instruments and sings all parts; he was doing it long before it became an easy more widely practiced thing to do. Not all great songs but definately worth a look." less

"My favorite record. You can't go wron..." more

"My favorite record. You can't go wrong with Sloan; check out all their albums. Between the Bridges isn't their most critically acclaimed album, but I think it's their most consistent album. Get the album, listen to the songs in order; find how different songs jump out at you the more times you listen to this gem." less
