Best Power Pop Albums of 2017
Here’s 2017’s Best Power Pop Albums list. In addition to the 20 best albums of 2017, I’ve listed the top 3 reissues, top 3 EPs and top 3 non power pop albums. A few things to note: The Red Button’s Now It’s All This! was included on two lists as it contained reissues as well as an EP of new music. Somerdale’s Maggie Says It Again was included as a reissue. It it had previously been released although it contained a couple of added tracks that were new.
The last five or six albums were tough to pick as I could have chosen another 20 or more really good releases – so this is by no means meant to be a definitive or comprehensive list. Let me know where I missed the mark. Also, please leave a comment regarding your own favorites.
