The Great:
1. I Got A Car
2. Drunk On A Plane

The Good (in no order):
1. What I Can't Put Down
2. Letting the Night Roll
3. Meanwhile Back At Mama's (it’s almost making me forget that horrible piece of schlock he previously released)
4. River Bank
5. Keep Them Kisses Comin' (I really like Craig Campbell, both his albums were very good)
6. Cold One

8. Who I Am With You

Not Feeling It (Ambivalent):
1. I Don't Dance
2. Automatic
3. Play It Again
4. Whiskey in My Water
5. Beat of the Music

Still Waiting To Actually Hear It On The Radio (but enjoy):
1. Clockwork
2. Lie (I know I’ll never hear this on the radio, Tracey is in his mid-to-late 40’s, clearly too old to make good music)

The Really Bad:
1. This Is How We Roll (this is pure “horse doodoo”)
2. Beachin'
3. Small Town Throwdown (though Justin sings his part well)
4. Chainsaw (really enjoyed “You Lie”, but haven’t liked anything of theirs since)
5. Ready Set Roll (but bad in a way that I actually kind of enjoy it and yes, I’m ashamed)

Keep turning 'em up...

1. I Got A Car (c'mon top 10!)
2. Yeah (so good to have Joe back!)
3. Meanwhile Back At Mama's (quickly becoming my favorite Tim song of all time)
4. Dust (nothing better than driving to work/home from work/any weekend time of day to this song!)

Bubbling under...

5. River Bank (gonna be a summer jam for me)
6. All Alright
7. Kiss You Tonight
8. My Eyes (I really like this, but I'm not hearing it on radio yet here in Austin)

Ready to turn down:
9. Play It Again (really radio? move on...)
10. Automatic (still like this, just bored with it now)
11. Beachin' (not feelin' Jake's music right now)
12. Get Me Some of That (again, move on radio...)

...I'd add "Beat of the Music" to that list, but again I never hear it on the radio here.

Two songs I actually still like: "This Is How We Roll" (ugh, I don't know why :/) and "The South" (I find this to be a good jam).

edit: I hadn't listened to "Ready Set Roll" yet...whoa, this is bad. really, really bad.

Just Not Feelin' It (no particular order):

08 "Baby Come On With It" - Natalie Stovall & The Drive
09 "Dirt Road" - Kip Moore

Turn It Off/Absolutely Terrible Songs I Can't Stand:

01 "Get Me Some Of That" - Thomas Rhett (ugh this song is sooo terrible and it just creeps me out)
02 "Ready, Set, Roll" - Chase Rice (a pile of garbage)
03 "This Is How We Roll" - Florida Georgia Line f/ Luke Bryan (Tyler's voice sucks, Luke sounds awkward, and this song is just a pile of manure)
04 "Donkey" - Jerrod Niemann (an embarrassment to the genre. Admittedly the donkey sounds made me laugh the first time I heard it, but the lyrics are just crude and disgusting)
05 "Play It Again" - Luke Bryan (I've found this one super annoying from the start...I don't like the corny lyrics and the lines flow rather awkwardly, not to mention that this seems to come on the radio about 100 times a day *rolls eyes*)
06 "Lettin' The Night Roll" - Justin Moore (this one just drives me nuts...not a fan of Justin and the loud guitars are annoying)
07 "Beat Of The Music" - Brett Eldredge (this one isn't terrible but I've heard it about 20,000 fricken times by now!!! sheesh)
08 "Small Town Throwdown" - Brantley Gilbert f/ Thomas Rhett & Justin Moore (Thomas sounds like a sick cow here, and Justin creeps me out singing about daisy dukes and how they 'know how to grow 'em' around 'here', wherever that is. The guitars at the beginning are alright but other than that, this song is just not good)

I could do without any more songs with "roll" in the title..

ETA: If a song isn't on my list, it's because I'm not that familiar with it yet. I also didn't include songs with adds dates June 9 or later, since I haven't listened to those ones too much yet and didn't think I could accurately place them. I definitely love the new JT Hodges, Sunny Sweeney, and Keith Urban singles, but I'll save them for my July list :)

[14887fan]

The Decent but I have to keep it on the radio solely because I don't want to lose my fan card:
"Something Bad", Miranda Lambert ft. Carrie Underwood

I'll deal with the rest of this genre when I have the patience to listen to all of the most recent radio releases the same song for 3 hours.
