I've also stated many times how I think Carrie Underwood's "See You Again" is terribly boring and clichéd, and how the slick, bombastic "whoa oh oh" production is ill fitting to the song's message. No one else ever seemed to get on board with me on this. The song's lyrics are incredibly cliché, yes, but I love the song as a whole. If I were to dissect it, the lyrics would be the one flaw. I think her vocals are pristine, I love the way the instrumentation is all piano-driven, and the music video for it made me love it even more than I already did. Easily one of my favorites off of BA. [It still shatters me that "Wine After Whiskey" never saw the light of day on Country radio after SYA's run was over.]

The first two lines in "International Harvester" make it seem like he's married to his sister: "I’m the son of a 3rd generation farmer I’ve been married 10 years to the farmer’s daughter"I know he means to another farmer's daughter, but I've always found it funny how it can be interpreted this way. Haha I had not noticed that lyrical ambiguity before! That is great! It is almost as funny as Chris Young's "Conway Twitty, yeah girl, I'd love to lay you down" on I Can Take It From There :)

"International Harvester" was fine to me personally but I never realized this. Good point out. It made me laugh. But even though I personally kind of liked "Harvester", when it came time for the third single..."The Ballad of Mr. Jenkins" please!

After it was mentioned, I listened to "International Harvester" for the first time in what seems like years and I enjoyed it more than I care to admit. A few more from me: "Then" by Brad Paisley (I've described my feelings for this before. To me it sounds like he tried to create the most generic love song in existence, and succeeded.) "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Mark Chesnutt (Mark is superb when he's recording hard country like "Too Cold at Home", but him covering what was already a bombastic rock power ballad just doesn't work.) "Love You Out Loud" by Rascal Flatts. (I like most all of their singles through about 2006, but I remember finding this one extremely annoying for some reason. It's another one that I haven't heard in ages, so maybe my opinion's changed.) "Here for the Party" by Gretchen Wilson (Loud, boring screamer.) "Swingin'" by John Anderson (I am possibly the world's biggest John Anderson fan, and it pains me to no end that one of his most well-known songs is also one of his worst. I don't necessarily hate it, but he has so many other better songs.)

I don't necessarily hate it, but he has so many other better songs.) -Couldn't agree more on "Then", even though we did have that discussion already in Brad's "The Mona Lisa" thread. -I think the problem with "Love You Out Loud" is that one seemed to bring out the worse of Gary's style of singing in terms of annoyance. It seems the kind of song that if you're not a fan of them, this one will get under you're skin. -I didn't like "Here For The Party" either. One word; Loud. -"Swingin'" is such a strange song to me. The chocolate pie reference is a odd food to bring up someone eating in a sultry country love song. There also isn't too many lyrics to it either. The second part of the song comes at the 2:00 minute mark and 50 seconds later it's over. I too love Anderson but this one's always kind of put me off as well.

I wish I'd seen this earlier. It made for a very enjoyable read.
I will try to confine my list to big hits (top 5 anyway) and songs that I think most people like. Stir up a little controversy... no reason to list a bunch of awful Tim or RF songs as that is too low-hanging a branch on the fruit tree.
Have to start with Martina's I Love You because that song's success had a huge negative effect on her career. She went from light-hearted and good-humored, with the capacity to sing about a serious topic, directly to bombastic and overblown in one annoying climb to the top. Most bad songs are just songs, but this one ruined a whole singer.
And then there's Jessica Andrews' big hit, which, as 10 Pound Hammer points out above, not only subjected us to a sappy and not credible set of lyrics, but also deprived Travis Tritt's fantastic Great Day To Be Alive, one of my lifetime top 5 songs in any genre.
Then there are the songs that get a lot of credit, but whose lyrics just drive me crazy. Jesus, Take The Wheel and Live Like You Were Dying are two examples, and I'll throw Tommy Shane Steiner's only big hit in as well. There are a lot of others but I won't post everything I've got in one post.

"Who I Am" is a song I have a lot of nostalgic feelings for, but I can't argue with anyone who thinks it's a bad song. I had no idea it prevented "It's a Great Day to be Alive" from hitting the top spot. What an injustice.

Redneck Woman and Red Solo Cup force me to change the channel. So does everything from Taylor Swift. Honestly, I know she has millions of fans, but she grates on my nerves.

I agree with "Here for the Party". That one and "All Jacked Up", Gretchen got rather screechy at times. However, I kinda like the latter in a cartoony, over the top way. My mom always had a problem with "When I Think About Cheatin'" since she didn't get why anyone would even think about cheating, or get as far as actually dancing with another guy before stopping and saying "no, this is wrong, I can't do this". Nor did she understand "I Don't Feel Like Loving You Today" — why would someone "not feel" like loving someone on a random day? Unlike Zazie, I have nothing against "What If She's an Angel" or "Jesus, Take the Wheel", and my only problem with "Live Like You Were Dying" was that I thought "bull named Fu Manchu" sounded silly. Seems to be a Craig Wiseman thing: his "motivational" songs often have at least one jarringly out-of-place line. I've also stated many times how I think Carrie Underwood's "See You Again" is terribly boring and clichéd, and how the slick, bombastic "whoa oh oh" production is ill fitting to the song's message. No one else ever seemed to get on board with me on this. The song's lyrics are incredibly cliché, yes, but I love the song as a whole. If I were to dissect it, the lyrics would be the one flaw.

[It still shatters me that "Wine After Whiskey" never saw the light of day on Country radio after SYA's run was over.] I didn't even like her vocals on that one. To me, it was just bland, emotionless belting more concerned with hitting the high notes than injecting any personality. Not like you can inject much personality into lines as mundane as "I will see you again / This is not where it ends / I will carry you with me".

I completely agree about the "bull named Fu Manchu" line. Totally incongruous with the tone of the rest of the song.

"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Mark Chesnutt (Mark is superb when he's recording hard country like "Too Cold at Home", but him covering what was already a bombastic rock power ballad just doesn't work.) "Here for the Party" by Gretchen Wilson (Loud, boring screamer.) I've never minded "Here for the Party" too much. Interesting tidbit, though, is that King George has used this as the song that kicks off that "The King is in the building and about to take the stage" moment. I'm not sure how long this has been his go-to song before the "Ladies and gentleman George Strait and his Ace In the Hole Band" comes on, but he's been using it for at least four years I think. It didn't take me long to learn when I heard that song come on it was time to get to my seat. Agreed on "Then" (I've never ever liked it) as well as Mark's take on "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing." I think I read somewheres that Mark regrets cutting that song but I could be wrong.

^ I agree, Mark Chesnutt had no business cutting "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing". His voice is heavily processed on that, and even in the poppy climate of 1999, that song had no business getting a country cover. If it turns out he regrets it, I'd love to see the source.
And did I mention that the original is a boring-ass Diane Warren cliché fest? They use the phrase "in this moment" what, 16 times?

Then?!?! How did I forget about "Then"? Easy, it is by far one of the boringest songs I've ever heard. Love most of Brad's stuff but this song will put you under.

"Here for the Party" is possibly my favorite Gretchen Wilson song (though she has many great ones), and I don't find it loud in the slightest. Honestly, it seems light by today's standards, but I didn't even think it seemed overdone then. It has a fantastic melody and the production is great imo, and it really does a great job of being a party song that isn't a total "been there, done that" cliche.
For me, her only truly awful single is "I Got Your Country Right Here."

I had no idea it prevented "It's a Great Day to be Alive" from hitting the top spot. What an injustice. Well, I admit that songs don't have responsibility for blocking other songs and it's a deliberately goofy way of describing the situation. But that was such an interesting couple of months on the chart -- first (and I don't have the charts so I have to trust my memory) there was a back-and-forth-and-back maneuver featuring One More Day and You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This, and then in the distance there was the career-saving fast-climbing eventual 6-week #1 Ain't Nothin' 'Bout You, clearly limiting how many weeks were going to be available to anybody else. With those other songs as a backdrop, here was a song I considered just awful and a song I never thought had a chance at the top, but somehow it was going there. Whatever board we posted on then -- was 2001 during the R&R days? It must have been -- was full of people who thought the Tritt song was weird, and incomprehensible, and I thought that if the Pulse posters didn't like or understand it then the general public, much more casual in their approach to music, never would support it. I still don't know how it got to #2. And not only to #2, but it stayed there -- 3 weeks, I think. I could look that up but I'm being lazy this morning. And it wound up in Kingsley's year-end top 10 despite peaking below #1, which in those days almost never happened, so it must have spent a long time in the top 10. And it would have been #1, I guess, without Jessica's interference. I'm sure she treasures her one career #1 and I don't want to take it away from her, and Travis (though now ignored) had a big career on the radio, I just put this one in the category of "how could you do that to me?" And I keep it there. Turns out that Darrell Scott's my favorite songwriter of the last 20 years and that gives me one more reason to resent Jessica getting in "my" way, but I do understand that chart movement is not designed to annoy me. It just seems that way. At least you appreciate the song I like, Andy, so I can let you have your nostalgia.

So many many choices My overall ~winner would have to be Carrie's Undo It - it set an all-time high for me in terms of grating Runners-up in recent years, Luke Bryan songs about girls shakin' it (pick any of them) And for some reason Rodney Atkins' Farmers Daughter just made me gag, though I love some of his other songs like Take a Back Road.

My votes go to "This Ain't No Thinking Thing," "Play Something Country," and "Third Rock From The Sun". Although, in comparison to some of the hits from recent years, those three don't seem that bad after all.

Speaking of overplay; "Take A Backroad" would be launched into the exosphere, never to be heard from again if it was up to me. I can't believe I brought up "Watching You" (which was overplayed as well) before "Backroad" which is still played at nauseum by The Highway and WYRK and it's one of the reasons that Rodney's music gets on my nerves. It wasn't his worst song by any stretch of the imagination (That will always be held by "15 Minutes"), but it doesn't work for me as a song I want to be hearing over and over and over again. Come to think of it; all of his hits were killed by radio for me. Even the one I genuinely enjoyed "If You're Going Through Hell" (Before The Devil Even Knows). But at least that one was to be expected. It finished at #1 on 2006's year end chart.

Living in Kentucky he seems to get the "hometown boy" spins that make overplayed an understatement. Would love to see those spins move towards a guy like Chris Stapleton...not sure you can overplay his music, he's got such a unique voice I never get tired of hearing it.

It has a fantastic melody and the production is great imo, and it really does a great job of being a party song that isn't a total "been there, done that" cliche. For me, her only truly awful single is "I Got Your Country Right Here." All right, you and tim convinced me to give it another listen. It's not as bad as I remember it. I probably hated it back in the day mostly because Gretchen was so overplayed in 2005, but looking at it now with a fresh perspective, it's not nearly bad enough to belong on my list. To me it's more of an average song if anything, but I'm guess I'm not really big on "here to party" songs in general. Never heard "I Got Your Country Right Here" but I'm going to take your word for it. Well, I admit that songs don't have responsibility for blocking other songs and it's a deliberately goofy way of describing the situation. But that was such an interesting couple of months on the chart -- first (and I don't have the charts so I have to trust my memory) there was a back-and-forth-and-back maneuver featuring One More Day and You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This, and then in the distance there was the career-saving fast-climbing eventual 6-week #1 Ain't Nothin' 'Bout You, clearly limiting how many weeks were going to be available to anybody else.

And I keep it there. When I was little, I assumed that "Who I Am" was written by Jessica Andrews and that the song was autobiographical. Since I learned that two guys wrote it and her grandmother isn't really named Rosemary, I haven't been able to enjoy the song as much as I used to. I can't explain why, but there it is. Turns out that Darrell Scott's my favorite songwriter of the last 20 years and that gives me one more reason to resent Jessica getting in "my" way, but I do understand that chart movement is not designed to annoy me. I'm glad I'm not the only person on this board familiar with the name Darrell Scott. I own a couple of his albums and I've loved what I've heard. And of course, songs like "Long Time Gone", "It's a Great Day to Be Alive," and "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" are some of the finest in recent memory.

It just seems that way. At least you appreciate the song I like, Andy, so I can let you have your nostalgia. Hey Zazie, I covered the back and forth tug of war for the #1 spot for the Toby Keith and Diamond Rio singles recently. Here is my take on it plus the FIVE charts that went with it: 8. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: The last seesaw battle for the top spot in country music started thirteen years ago this week. That is when Toby Keith and Diamond Rio were fighting for the #1 position with You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This and One More Day, respectively. 1998 is where we will start the story. Keith released his first greatest hits CD, Greatest Hits Volume One. By the time his first hits CD was released, Keith had 15 top 40 hits, 14 major hits, 13 top ten hits, and three chart toppers including his first, Should've Been A Cowboy (1993) which became the most played song of the decade. The two new songs off the greatest hits CD became chart singles: Getcha Some (#18 in 1998) and If A Man Answers (#44 in 1999). While he was on the charts with those songs, he completed another CD for Mercury. However, Mercury was NOT interested in it and decided to drop Keith after seven years. Undeterred, he shopped his CD to other labels and found a taker: Dreamworks, who had just opened their country division in Nashville. They kept what Keith had and released a single called When Love Fades. It matched the previous single's peak at #44. They quickly settled on the title track, How Do You Like Me Now as the second single. Released in November, 1999 it became Keith's first chart topper for Dreamworks in March, 2000. It was the first #1 for Dreamworks and the fourth for Keith. It was at #1 for five weeks, becoming his biggest hit to date (later replaced by Beer For My Horses, his duet with Willie Nelson in 2003). How Do You Like Me Now ended up being the biggest hit of the year according to the American Country Countdown and Billboard. Country Comes To Town was the third single and it hit #4. Fourth and final single, You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This was released in November. In the meantime, Diamond Rio was busy releasing a CD called One More Day. The first single, Stuff peaked at #36 and became their lowest charted top 40 hit. They regrouped with the title track, released in November, 2000 (alongside You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This). Keith arrived at the top spot first, giving him five #1 hits. Then, Diamond Rio collected their third #1 hit in One More Day. It was their first chart topper in almost four years since How Your Love Makes Me Feel in 1997 (chart wise, their biggest hit). One More Day took on new meaning following the death of Dale Earnhardt in February, 2001 (R.I.P. #3). Keith reclaimed the top spot for two weeks and then Diamond Rio returned for a second week at top. BOTH acts were replaced at the top by Jessica Andrews' ONLY chart topper, Who I Am. Diamond Rio would chart two more times off their CD: Sweet Summer (#18 in 2001) and That's Just That (#42 in 2001). As for Diamond Rio, their last chart appearance occurred in 2006 with God Only Cries (#30). Their last CD was released three years later called The Reason. Keith is currently on the charts with his Drinks After Work CD. As a bonus, I will be providing ALL five charts where Keith and Diamond Rio were #1. Ready?

I personally loved "Then" but it appears I'm in the minority.
One song that I didn't hate at first but is now played to death is "All Summer Long". I swear to god, if I hear that song one more time I will smash my radio to pieces. My local station plays the hell out of that one.
I tend to strongly dislike Carrie's angrier sounding stuff, specifically "Last Name" and "Before He Cheats".

Ok, I'm sure I can come up with a bunch, but the one that immediately comes to mind is Reba's "Fancy". Never have been able to stand that one.

Off the top of my head...
Justin Moore - "Point at You" Cole Swindell - "Chillin' It" Anything by Tyler Farr (seriously don't get the hype behind this guy) - surely, "Whiskey in My Water" will be a top 10 hit when all is said and done

I'll edit this later when I can think a little better.

Could've sworn I said it already, but I think that George Strait's "I Cross My Heart" is by far one of his worst. Never understood why that remains one of his most popular songs. It's just so bland and lifeless.

It's just so bland and lifeless. Wow, I'm glad someone agrees with me on "I Cross My Heart". I won't go so far as to say I hate it, but to me it's among the most overrated songs among his catalog. Mainly because of the you're last point about it being bland which is why I don't think it should have gotten as much pub as it did. I'm sure others will put it in their top 10 George songs, but he's done much better songs in my humble opinion.

For me, the George Strait song that everybody loves that I just think is just okay is "Check Yes or No." That's my "go to the bathroom" song when I see George in concert. While "I Cross my Heart" is nothing groundbreaking, it's still pretty timeless. Plus... Pure Country! ;)
