Favorite Tim McGraw lead single

[gonecountry]

Love Tim McGraw, but picking lead singles isn't a strong suit IMO.  Amazing how many great songs he's had, and how few of them have been his lead single.  I'm not feeling the love for Neon Church yet, but I'm sure it will grow on me.

My picks:

Great

1. Live Like You Were Dying

2. I Like It, I Love It

3. Grown Men Don't Cry

4. Better Than I Used to Be


Good-ish

5. Last Dollar (Fly Away)

6. When the Stars Go Blue

7. Felt Good on My Lips

8. Please Remember Me

9. Truck Yeah

10. Neon Church

11. It's a Business Doing Pleasure with You

12. Red Rag Top

13. Indian Outlaw

14. It's Your Love


Meh

15. Speak to a Girl

16. What Room Was the Holiday In


Pure s**t
(and you can't blame Curb)
17. Lookin' for That Girl
(he picked this over Meanwhile Back at Mama's?!?!?)
18. Top of the World
 (he picked this over Humble and Kind?!?!?)

Yikes. I hate most of his lead singles. Never realized how bad most of them are. "Neon Church" is easily his best since leaving Curb and, sans "Better Than I Used To Be", his best since "Live Like You Were Dying" (my vote), and I don't even think "Neon Church" is that good.

A lot of his lead singles are pretty weak. He's definitely had a long-standing problem with picking the best stuff to start an era. My personal picks:

1. Speak to a Girl
2. Better Than I Used to Be
3. It's Your Love
4. Red Ragtop
5. It's a Business Doing Pleasure with You

Picking lead singles has definitely been a struggle for him for whatever reason. The strange thing is some of the best songs of his career have been released as the second single, "Don't Take The Girl", "Everywhere", "Can't Be Really Gone", "Something Like That", "Angry All The Time" "One Of Those Nights", "Meanwhile Back At Mama's", "Humble And Kind" just to name a few. That being said, I still really like about 12 of these 18 singles.

1.Red Ragtop
2.Better Than I Used To Be
3.Live Like You Were Dying
4.Please Remember Me
5.Neon Church
6.Grown Men Don't Cry
7.When The Stars Go Blue
8.Indian Outlaw
9.I Like It I Love It
10.Felt Good On My Lips
11.It's A Business Doing Pleasure With You
12.What Room Was The Holliday In
13.Last Dollar
14.Top Of The World
15.It's Your Love
16.Speak To A Girl
17.Truck Yeah
18.Lookin For That Girl

Surprised that with 15 voters, Felt Good on My Lips is the only song (to date) not getting a single vote. Was surprised a few of the other songs got votes. I think there are many sides of Tim, and we all seem to appreciate a slightly different side.

Don't really care for any of the other songs on this list.
