[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I love ya too, bro.

But Jay Reatard, dead at 29, and with his amazing musical legacy behind 
him - The Reatards Lost Sounds, Nervous Patterns, his solo stuff, Final 
Solutions, so many more bands, etc. - yet NOTHING he did in the past ten 
years beats out My Chemical Romance for your Top 50 list?

Even the NY Times did an obituary on this dude 
(<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/15/arts/music/15reatard.html>) That 
blew me away.

And yet you can't make room for ONE SINGLE song (i.e. 
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K6TNitmtgo>) of his for the last ten 
years? Come on, bro. TV Smith invited him as a guest guitarist on an 
Adverts reunion tour not too long ago. And yet MCR beat this guy out on 
your personal list? Alex, can you ever admit you have made a mistake? 
Jay Reatard was pretty damn cool.
