[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[Alex Smith]

Well, again, taste is subjective. 

Jay Reatard bored me. I mean, rest in peace and all that, but he wasn't exactly breaking any new ground, was he.

MDC stopped mattering to me a long, long time ago. First couple of records are great, but the last thing of theirs I heard (from 2008 or so) was hopeless.
