A coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines its relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

ReplyDelete2nd album flops?
I don't remember if it sold as much as the debut, but I'm pretty sure it did well commercially.....
Bands that you wish would just go away?
ReplyDeleteLongest time between albums? Most pointless comebacks that never happened?
ReplyDeleteHint:
ReplyDeleteIt's the album, not the song, if that helps any....
Two part albums? Two disc albums? Too long albums?
ReplyDeleteGuilty Pleasure Favorites of bands you otherwise consider Accidents of God's Anus?
