Best Power Pop Songs of 2022

Last week, we released our Best Power Pop Albums of 2022 list. There were so many outstanding records this past year that it seems only right to include a 22 Best Power Pop Songs of 2022 list, too. So here it is.

I decided that it should be kept to one song per artist and I excluded Jamie Hoover’s “Kim Kardashian” as I can’t be impartial – I’m the one to blame for the song’s lyrics. So you can be the judge of that one.

Here we go. These are my favorite tracks from 2022:

1. Greg Pope – Sorry I Wrote This Song
2. Sloan – Keep Your Name Alive
3. Glad Machine – Days Gone By
4. Eytan Mirsky – Pile of Leaves
5. Bob Burger – Pain In the Ass
6. Sun Sawed in ½ – Twist of Lemon
7. Emperor Penguin – How I Won the War
8. Airport 77’s – Illustrated Book of Cupid
9. JellyFox – Joshua
10. Hoover & Martinez – The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants
11. The Oh Wells – Wafflehouse Waitress
12. Seth Swirsky – I Don’t Wanna Lose You
13. Phil Angotti – Shy Violet
14. Push Puppets – There’s No One Else Like Lynette
15. Andy Partridge – Let There Be Snow
16. 2^nd Grade – Strung Out On You
17. Phil Yates & The Affiliates – I Can’t Wait
18. Vanilla – It’s Drunk and I’m Raining
19. Richard Turgeon – Better With You
