Dixie Chicks Rankdown - (Revealing)

[LBTrocks]

I'm NEVER in the "have yet to lose a top 10" category so I'm thrilled rn lol.

I'm hoping I'm not person to lose one now though lol. If I am, I'm going to guess that "White Trash Wedding" is the song, or maybe "If I Fall"

[Kanenrá:ke]

The fifth track from their 3rd album, "White Trash Wedding" never got released as a single but it did chart from unsolicited airplay.  

This song has always been great for the fiddle and banjo and really shows off the sisers' skills!

[The Brazilian Guy 🇧🇷]

I like "White Trash Wedding" but it feels a bit too short... it's a fun album track though!

[Deleted]

Wow, a very rare moment when bat1990 and I are at very opposite ends of the spectrum!

WTW is not bad, but it does nothing for me.

[Deleted]

I no longer feel bad about Usher, by the way @antigonerising

[LBTrocks]

Baby's on it's way. The baby's on it's way.... say I do and kiss me quick, cuz the baby's on it's way!

The song is a certified bluegrass jam! LOVE the lyrics so much! Great melody and instrumentation as well. Out way too soon. Although I figured it would be my first top 10 song to go.

mamasaid and @antigonerising how could you! :'(  

[LBTrocks]

Kanenrá:ke bless your heart for doing a "Still have all of their Top 10's in" list before I lost my first one

[Au$tin]

Aww! :( This was my favorite track that I discovered through this rankdown. Dissapointed in its placement here.

[bboat11]

Yikes, not too happy about these last couple reveals... "Heartbreak Town" and "White Trash Wedding" are both incredible songs. We are entering the section of this rankdown where we are losing well-written gems that are packed full of nostalgia that still hold up today! I can't wait to see how the top 20 plays out :) I am thrilled that my top 10 is more-or-less intact, minus my #3 and #10!

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I'm still heartbreak town over Voice Inside My Head being out already.

#NoRegrets

I love this song so incredibly much because it's such a fun romp! (And pokes fun at White Trash)

My sister and I occasionally text or sing lines of this to each other and have for years, b/c the Home album was one of our rare intersections musically while growing up (along with TLC oddly).


EDIT: Some of you all will probably be sad when my #35 shows itself, but that didn't stop it from making Top 20.

[castleoblivion26]

Have been busy all weekend so didn't get to respond but I am not really upset with anything out yet. The Beyonce song is good but doesn't compare to a lot of their earlier stuff.

I am really surprised that my entire top 10 is still intact. Really glad too because they are all great songs. Would love to see most of them make top 10

Are you still alive?

[Kanenrá:ke]

Alive and will be posting tomorrow down to the top 10! Had a busy day today and yesterday.

hi

[Kanenrá:ke]

We've had power outages here for the last 3 days and internet has been spotty at best. Mostly only been on my phone. I've got a ton of work to do today to catch up at work since we've been working without out computers for 2 days, I'm hoping I'll be posting tonight!

I feel bad for the delay but keep any and all shade coming my way (it's hot here I could use it )

Eh, I kinda forgot this rankdown was even happening still.

[Sambalada]

:kii: @ me finishing the Kacey rankdown before this.

[Deleted]

Well I figured I'd bring this thread up in relevance.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

It's been a week and a half :'(

I'm trying not to shade too hard though b/c I totally understand the struggle of shitty internet

Love this song!! Way too low!

[The Brazilian Guy 🇧🇷]

I also love this one... I'm glad it made Top 20. I thought it would rank lower actually.

[Kanenrá:ke]

Next song up has two people lose their #1, while 3 more lose a top 5.

I'll try getting it posted in a little while, I may have internet in a bit!

[bboat11]

Yay, I've missed you, Jordan!!!!  "Everybody Knows" is out at just about the right time, imo. I can't wait to see what the next one is! 5 top 5s, 2 of which are #1s? This is going to be a brutal one!

19. Easy Silence
Points: 405
Average Rank: 18
SD: 9.5836



Album: Taking The Long Way
Release Date: May 23, 2006
Writer(s): Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, Emily Robison, & Dan Wilson
Producer(s): Rick Rubin

Charts:
N/A

"Easy Silence" is the second track off of their last studio album. It's a song about how the one(s) you love can make the worries of the world disappear. I personally think this is one of their most gorgeous songs and I cry when they perform it live. Stunning.

They also named their 2006 'Accidents & Accusations' tour after a lyric in this song.  

I included the live performance as the backdrop was very effective for me. Also including the following link for an essay analyzing this song. link
