Pulse Rankdown: 2005 Country - "A Real Fine Place" wins!

[sabre14]

Ecstatic "Don't Ask Me How I Know" made it as far as it did. I know Bobby's voice is rough but my God, the song is incredible.

[d3vin44]

Well, that was a SHOCKER! :(

[.indulgecountry]

lolwut that should've been Top 10 at minimum. That song is iconic af.

But I'm gonna need you to take this back.

Mess? You're tryin' it.

My top 10 went unscathed (although I know at least a couple are living on borrowed time), and I got rid of four or five of my remaining lowest-ranked tracks, so needless to say I'm happy with tonight's results. There's only one song left that I'm really rooting against.

I'm going to predict either "She Didn't Have Time" or "Somebody's Hero" win the whole thing, neither of which I'd be upset about. Of course, with my prediction skills watch them both get eliminated tomorrow.

If you people vote out "Making Memories Of Us" soon then I'll hate you forever.

I'm shocked that "Making Memories Of Us" didn't make the top 10. I thought that was as close of a lock as there could be. Man I love that song, and I usually don't like soft sappy type of songs. But Keith sells the hell out of that one and its such a great date kind of song.

Did you not remember this? lol

I'm still so happy "Holy Water" is still in. Also surprised to still see "You'll Be There" in. I'm certainly not complaining since it's one of my all-time favorite George Strait songs.

Love many of the remaining songs.

[LBTrocks]

lol yas @ "Bless The Broken Road" not making the top 30! Awful vocals/harmonies and a really corny song.

Also thrilled about "Come A Little Closer" finally being gone because that song is DREADFUL! I seriously can't listen to it. Everything about it is disgusting. This made it WAY too high, but on the other hand I'm glad it only made top 40.

"Mississippi Girl" isn't bad by any means, but I'm not a Faith Hill fan and this is one that I would never go out of my way to listen to.

"Better Life" does nothing for me. I'm generally not a Keith Urban fan either.

I like "Don't Ask Me How I Know" as a song and I like the lyrics, but Bobby Pinson's voice isn't my thing. I saw him live at the Opry around this time and didn't really enjoy him.

I adore Chris Cagle and think "Miss Me Baby" is great! I love it. It is SO genuinely country and the melody is perfect! He does have others that I like even better but this is fantastic!

"I May Hate Myself In the Morning" is good, but it doesn't do a whole lot for me. I was always fine with it on CMT and I do really like the violin solo in the middle of the song. If it wasn't for that part, I might have ranked this a little lower. It's a great country song though, don't get me wrong. I can recognize that even if it's not a personal favorite of mine.

Surprised this one got so high - it's never been a favorite from Kenny but I still enjoy it

[.indulgecountry]

Finally it's gone yasssss! :'(

[Andy]

I like this one, but I may have overrated it a bit. Not devastated it's gone.

[Deleted]

Perfect song absolutely flawless and the music video itself is a gut punch.

I was stunned this made the Top 25, considering its Kenny Chesney but I am thrilled.

This song is simply perfection and one of the best songs in Kenny Chesney discography by far.

I understand if Kenny Chesney vocals aren't your thing but it's a well written song (imo) and besides the artist himself I fail to see any real hate for this song.

[dm2081]

I don't think I've heard "Who You'd Be Today" on the radio since 2005. Good song that never gets played anymore.

[castleoblivion26]

really sad to see this one gone. This one and my #1 are both songs that I think of my brother when I hear. He passed away at a very young age so the lyrics here ring true in many ways. Absolutely love this and consider this my favorite Kenny Chesney song ever.

The only two singles from The Road and the Radio that seem to still get played are "Summertime" and "Beer In Mexico."

If this isn't in your top 50 you're pretty much dead to me... Josh Gracin is such an underrated talent and he should have been so much bigger of a star

[maine]

y'all suck

[castleoblivion26]

I remember voting for Josh Gracin on season 2 of American Idol. I loved his first album, it was really good. I enjoyed his second album as well and some of the other songs he has released since. Won't lie I have not followed him much since though and need to listen to his new music he just released. Glad Nothin' To Lose is still in as I still listen to that a lot

[Andy]

This is a good song, but it was time.

[maine]

This was a good first listen!

Had no clue he was on American idol

Ugh back-to-back top 5 losses from me... this deserved top 20 at least :(

[Deleted]

"What I Love About Sunday" is in my opinion one of the most overrated songs ever. I can't stand it at all..

[sabre14]

Loved "Stay With Me (Brass Bed)". Such a different feel but Josh sang it very good and had a low burn rate for me. I still listen to it often.

[maine]

Was this the #1 on year End?

It was for R&R. It was the most played song of 2005.

[castleoblivion26]

have always loved That's What I Love About Sunday but it did get overplayed a bit. Don't really listen to it much anymore but it is still a great song
