    Did it quick before I had time to stew over the nominations and placements.

    Also, might have added Imperial Drag's sole album if I could have convinced myself of it's place in a purely Power Pop list. And possibly New Miserable Experience by The Gin Blossoms for the same reason.

    I deliberately didn't pick up and skim through the book before voting as I KNOW it would have skewed my results.

    So these were my votes and let them stand :-)

    1 - Powerbill by The Semantics
    2 - Parallel Universe by IKE
    3 - Spilt Milk by Jellyfish
    4 - 100% Fun by Matthew Sweet
    5 - One Night In America by The Plimsouls

    Cool idea and I can't wait for the results.
