Wasn't "19 You+Me" on your bad list not too long ago?

Yep! But I pretty much did a complete 180 on it. :)

Add me to the 180 list. I just could hardly let my ears touch this song at first. I gave in and I love it.

[rjz]

So odd- I also went 180 on Dan + Shay-the complete pop sound turned me off at first, but on second and later listens I just loved their voices, harmonies, and a real ear worm; now love it and not tiring of it on the radio yet (rare for me).

Anyway, back on topic:

Gonna be lazy and steal Sabre's list except on Good will add:

Glorianna- Best Night Ever
Kacey Musgraves-Keep It To Yourself
Brett Eldredge-Beat of the Music

Take out of Good (will put in my ok category):

Rewind - Rascal Flatts
25. Whiskey In My Water - Tyler Farr

Add to Bad (or sick of):

SYT-Scotty McCreery
Mona Lisa-Brad P
Keep Them Kisses Comin-Craig Campbell

[Cody Wants Out...]

Chances are, most of the songs I like or liked this month will carry over to next month since it's so close to April anyways.

I'm down with...

Dan+Shay - "19 You + Me"
Keith Urban - "Cop Car"
Little Big Town - "Sober"
Gary Allan - "It Ain't the Whiskey"
Miranda Lambert - "Automatic"
Charlie Worsham - "Want Me Too"
Craig Campbell - "Keep Them Kisses Comin'"
Kacey Musgraves - "Keep It To Yourself" (can't express how much I love this one, sounds so radio-friendly)
Dierks Bentley - "I Hold On" (so relieved this became a #1 hit)
Eli Young Band - "Dust"
Sara Evans - "Slow Me Down"

I'm NOT down with...

FGL and Luke - "This Is How We Roll" (shouldn't have listened to this in full; such a nightmare)
Frankie Ballard - "Helluva Life"
Thomas Rhett - "Get Me Some of That"
Tim McGraw - "Looking For That Girl" (WTH was he thinking putting this out?)
Jake Owen - "Beachin'" (same applies here)
Brad Paisley - "The Mona Lisa" (was never able to get into this one; too loud and too cheesy for me)
Chase Rice - "Ready Set Roll" (this song makes me so angry I will not tell you what I feel like doing every time I hear it; in fact, if I even hear the intro of it, I voluntarily abstain from listening to country radio for a pretty long time)
Lady A - "Compass" (liked it at first, but as it was climbing the charts, it started to become a guilty pleasure for me)
Jerrod Niemann - "Drink to That All Night"
Brantley Gilbert - "Bottoms Up" (so trendy it makes me sick)

I'll take it or leave it...

Tyler Farr - "Whiskey in My Water" (leaning towards no; gotta be one of the most boring and uneventful breakouts this past year)
The Band Perry - "Chainsaw" (leaning towards yes)
Chris Young - "Who I Am With You" (wasn't as great as I remembered it being)
Joe Nichols - "Yeah"
Billy Currington - "We Are Tonight"
Hunter Hayes - "Invisible"
Scotty McCreery - "See You Tonight"
Brett Eldredge - "Beat of the Music"
Eric Church - "Give Me Back My Hometown"
Randy Houser - "Goodnight Kiss"
Blake Shelton - "Doin' What She Likes" (pretty catchy, despite the crummy lyrical structure)

Seems kinda balanced, no?

[bluedog6]

At the very top:
"Wake Up Lovin' You" Craig Morgan
"Helluva Life" Frankie Ballard
"Sober" Little Big Town

Like a little bit:
"Everything I Shouldn't Be Thinking About" Thompson Square
"Beat of the Music" Brett Eldredge
"Automatic" Miranda Lambert
"Who I Am with You" Chris Young
"19 You and Me" Dan and Shay
"Doing What She Likes" Blake Shelton
"Mona Lisa" Brad Paisley
"It Ain't the Whiskey" Gary Allan

At the bottom:
"Looking for That Girl" Tim McGraw
"Get Me Some of That" Thomas Rhett
"I Hold On" Dierks Bentley
"Cop Car" Keith Urban

And so far down in the bottom of the pit that I can't imagine a song could be any further down there.
"This is How We Roll" Florida Georgia Line

Most everything else is stuck somewhere in the middle of blah blah blah I couldn't care one way or the other. :)
