I'm also surprised at your omission of Okkervil River, but to each his own. Oh, and go see Dan Deacon. If you did, and he didn't make your list, go see him again, and see him right this time.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, anybody who wants to say "Umbrella" is not in their top songs is just kidding themselves.

Are you against overused Willie Hutch samples or something? Or are you so much of a purist in your listmaking that you feel you can only include a single Bun B verse in the 40 top songs.
