[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Hey, it's a music forum. We debate these things. I have uber-respect for 
Alex, obviously. Alex knows his shit.

And yet - I just think he hasn't either heard the right Jay Reatard 
material, or has already decided he ain't gonna like it, no matter what 
comes across his plate.

I mean - the guy died at 29 and al his output in various band titles 
came out last decade. he was on the cusp of "beak out artist" before his 
death -- but the idea to me that a song by My Chemical Romance cold rump 
any single sng the man did in the past decade makes my jaw drop.

LET'S FIGHT ABOUT IT!!!!
