The Original Shake Some Action (Unofficial Guide)

THE ULTIMATE POWER POP GUIDE Volumes 1-9 (2008)
In 2008, there was a list of the 200 most essential power pop recordings of the last 35 years. John M.Borack had put together the list for his "Shake Some Action" book published by Bruce Brodeen and Not Lame. At the time, i decided tp post a complete "Best" of the Ultimate Power Pop Guide. So, i picked one song from each album selected by John Borack. My picks were totally subjective, so you won't get any "September Gurls", Rock'n'Roll Girl"', "Tomorrow Night" or other all-time classics. I tried (but not always) to not chose the songs you could already find on some famous power pop compilations ("Yellow Pills", "Poptopia" or the Rhino "DIY Series" and many others...). This is the complete 9 volumes collection re-upped on PPA
