I started working on this project after a scuttled attempt at a song-by-song breakdown of Clarity for its 20th anniversary back in February, similar to this post I did in 2016 on Pet Sounds. But you won’t find any of those in this Top 50, for a few different reasons. In case you missed Part I, you can find it here.īefore I get to the final selections, I’ll address the elephant in the room: since Part I posted, JEW released their 10th album, Surviving, which means an additional eight songs for potential consideration (the two Surviving songs released before the album, “Love Never” and “All the Way (Stay)”, are in Part I) are now in the world.
Welcome back to my list of Jimmy Eat World’s best songs, where today I’ll reveal my Top 50.
