[joey2002]

1. You're Gonna Miss This......one of the best songs of the year
16. Love Remembers

8. You Look Good In My Shirt
9. Waitin On A Woman....... i like how they went back an album to release it LoL

5. Winner At A Losing Game......not their best song, but oh well
12. Firecracker

4. Don't Blink.......one of the best songs to come out in a long time, although i would count it as a 2007 single
13. How Bout' Them Cowgirls

6. Laughed Until We Cried......nice song
11. We Weren't Crazy

3. Watching Airplanes......i liked "life aint always beautiful" better
14. Johnny and June

7. Stay......acoustic at least
10. Put A Girl In It

2. Letter To Me
15. All I Ever Wanted......this song reminds me of classic rascal flatts for some reason...i like most of his CD

[bigbluenote]

16. Love Remembers

8. You Look Good In My Shirt

12. Firecracker

13. How Bout' Them Cowgirls

11. We Weren't Crazy

3. Watching Airplanes (this was a tough one, I LOVED "Johnny And June")

7. Stay

2. Letter To Me

[bamafan2102]

Here are my votes.

1. You're Gonna Miss This

This song speaks to everyone and almost everyone has lived this song.

9. Waitin' On A Woman

I loved the Keith song as well but WOAW is a classic in my mind.

5. Winner At A Losing Game

This was pretty simple. I am tired of Josh's "wow I can sing really low" stuff, plus the song just wasn't good.

4. Don't Blink

Great song versus what should have been album filler.

6. Laughed Until We Cried

This bracket has the reoccuring theme of looking back and those songs always seem to ring a bell with me. I have lived most of this song as well.

3. Watching Airplanes

Great song. J&J was okay but nothing special. I like what J&J is trying to say but it just didn't hit the mark to me.

7. Stay

Not that I just loved this song, but Put A Girl In It is just terrible. I can see where this song has stuck a chord with most folks but her voice just drives me crazy.

2. Letter to Me

Another song that hit home and knocked me out on the first listen. The video also hit me hard. I feel that a song like this only comes along once in a blue moon. With that said All I Ever Wanted would have won if it would have been up against 99% of the other songs. It's one of my favorites of the past few years.

1. You're Gonna Miss This

5. Winner At A Losing Game

2. Letter To Me

[kw9461]

I think only 16 songs of my YE chart finished in the top 65; over half of those 16 are in this bracket.

1. You're Gonna Miss This (I have feeling this won't be close)
16. Love Remembers

8. You Look Good In My Shirt (very ironic pairing)
9. Waitin On A Woman

5. Winner At A Losing Game (tough matchup between two songs that made my '07 YE faves)
12. Firecracker

4. Don't Blink
13. How Bout' Them Cowgirls

6. Laughed Until We Cried
11. We Weren't Crazy (what a painful matchup for me; my favorite song of the year going up against my 3rd favorite song of the year)

3. Watching Airplanes
14. Johnny and June

7. Stay
10. Put A Girl In It (not a fan of either song, so I'll vote for the hopeless one)

2. Letter To Me (talk about a mammoth 2nd round matchup)
15. All I Ever Wanted

[drock89]

1. You're Gonna Miss This -- really overplayed here, but Morgan's delivery makes me cringe.
16. Love Remembers

8. You Look Good In My Shirt
9. Waitin On A Woman -- also overplayed, but lyrically trumps Urban, though musically, I'd take Urban... I like to jam, what can I say?

5. Winner At A Losing Game
12. Firecracker -- I love fireworks. 'Nough said.

4. Don't Blink
13. How Bout' Them Cowgirls -- Chesney is way overplayed, and while I think that's his most genius song in a while, gotta go with the King George.

6. Laughed Until We Cried -- Not a fan of either. Lesser of the two evils, if you will.
11. We Weren't Crazy

3. Watching Airplanes -- Also overplayed here, but I'm not a big fan of the cliche and delivery of #14.
14. Johnny and June

7. Stay -- Why is this song in here? Thank you, country radio, for reminding me in 2008 what a hit song was in 2007.
10. Put A Girl In It

2. Letter To Me -- Struck chords with me when I bought 5th Gear. Great song to this day.
15. All I Ever Wanted

[DCXfan]

1. You're Gonna Miss This
16. Love Remembers

8. You Look Good In My Shirt (ugh, I hate this matchup... my two favorite songs of 2009 going against each other in the first round. Then, the winner has to go against another really good song in round 2. I'll go with Keith by a hair.)
9. Waitin On A Woman

5. Winner At A Losing Game (best Flatts song in a long, long time)
12. Firecracker

4. Don't Blink
13. How Bout' Them Cowgirls

6. Laughed Until We Cried
11. We Weren't Crazy

3. Watching Airplanes
14. Johnny and June

7. Stay (really wish the brackets were more balanced... my five favorite songs of 2008 were Stay, Letter To Me, You Look Good In My Shirt, Waitin' On A Woman, and You're Gonna Miss This. they're all in the same bracket and only two will survive beyond round 2. :()
10. Put A Girl In It

2. Letter To Me
15. All I Ever Wanted

[someguy]

This is the toughest round for me, so far.

1. You're Gonna Miss This

8. You Look Good In My Shirt - this was a really tough call.

5. Winner At A Losing Game

4. Don't Blink

6. Laughed Until We Cried

14. Johnny and June - another tough matchup

7. Stay - I think this will go really, really far.

2. Letter To Me

[Kanenrá:ke]

1. You're Gonna Miss This (is anybody going to vote for Craig?)
16. Love Remembers

8. You Look Good In My Shirt
9. Waitin On A Woman (I love both but Brad's is more memorable)

5. Winner At A Losing Game
12. Firecracker (I realy dislike RF so this wasn't a hard decision)

4. Don't Blink
13. How Bout' Them Cowgirls (Same as the match up above, but this is a boring GS song)

6. Laughed Until We Cried (Hmm two singles I didn't think deserved top 20...)
11. We Weren't Crazy

3. Watching Airplanes
14. Johnny and June (I love Gary but her vocals are really good on this one)

7. Stay (This one isn't much of a fair battle, PAGII is one of B&D's worst songs)
10. Put A Girl In It

2. Letter To Me (This was a close one as I actually liked Chucks's song, but LTM has Paisley's magic touch.)
15. All I Ever Wanted

I knew there were terrific songs in 2008. Here they are, all hiding in this bracket.

1. You're Gonna Miss This -- I don't love this, but...
16. Love Remembers ... Craig's performance was way too bad

8. You Look Good In My Shirt -- one of my top 5 this year
9. Waitin On A Woman -- and this is a second top 5

5. Winner At A Losing Game
12. Firecracker -- terrific song, never gets played anymore

4. Don't Blink -- I wouldn't like this over most Strait songs
13. How Bout' Them Cowgirls -- but this was a weak one

6. Laughed Until We Cried -- very enjoyable song
11. We Weren't Crazy

3. Watching Airplanes -- another top 5 surfaces
14. Johnny and June

7. Stay -- I predict this one wins the bracket
10. Put A Girl In It

2. Letter To Me -- another terrific Brad song
15. All I Ever Wanted
