[somebody60]

Favorites: (in alphabetical order of artist, not order of preference)

1. "I'll Walk"- Bucky Covington
2. "Just A Dream"- Carrie Underwood
3. "Love Remembers"- Craig Morgan
4. "Don't Think I Don't Think About It"- Darius Rucker
5. "Troubadour"- George Strait
6. "In Color"- Jamey Johnson
7. "Relentless"- Jason Aldean
8. "Do You Believe Me Now"- Jimmy Wayne
9. "All Summer Long"- Kid Rock (I'm a little embarassed to say I like the song now since I had this as one of my dislikes the last time I did this. After hearing it a couple more times, I've grown to like it, even though I still hate the fact that it sounds like "Sweet Home Alabama")
10. "Lookin' For A Good Time"- Lady Antebellum
11. "Holler Back"- Lost Trailers
12. "Roll With Me"- Montgomery Gentry
13. "Let Me"- Pat Green
14. "Anything Goes"- Randy Houser (first time I heard this song, it sounded like a song I remember hearing years ago, but then, I found out it's a new song. Anyways, great song that has a traditional feel to it. I wish country radio would play more of these songs because I like a mix of traditional and contemporary when I listen to radio).
15. "She Never Cried In Front of Me"- Toby Keith
16. "Chicken Fried"- Zac Brown Band (heard this song for the first time last month. LOVE it!)

Dislikes (also in alphabetical order):

1. "Johnny and June"- Heidi (for some reason, her voice on this song grates my nerves, and I have heard this way too much the past month)
2. "You Look Good In My Shirt"- Keith Urban
3. "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven"- Kenny Chesney (honestly one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard. I think this is definitely his worst single in my book)
4. "Love Story"- Taylor Swift (I agree with lumpster's stance on this song. There's nothing country about this song. It sounds like one of them Disney songs that I would hear on Disney channel whenever I go to my sister's room and she's got that channel on. And I'm hearing this on Country radio. Not only is it not Country, but it sounds terrible)
5. "Should've Said No"- Taylor Swift

Songs I liked but have now grown tired of:

1. "Waitin' On A Woman"- Brad Paisley
2. "Let It Go"- Tim McGraw

I hear you, literally!
My Top 50, or in this case for the month Top 25, will have songs that acutally 'sound' country, either by the instrumnets or the lyrics. Someone like Taylor Swift will be in the lower end of the T50 more times than not (yet I DO hear some banjos and fiddles in a few places in her songs, I at least give her credit for that). For instance, a song like Come on Over by Jessica Simpson is still on 'my' chart because of the steel guitar and the 'sound' of country in the lyrics.

I really do not listen to country radio, except for WSM online, because I can shuffle enough music in ly com puter library to rarely repeat a song in several days.
