Oh, wow. I'm very surprised this one is gone so soon. I ranked this a bit too low in retrospect, but it still isn't a favorite of mine from them so it's not too sad.

Ok so let me tell you all a little story about flop mod sabre14 This bish sends me his list and it's missing a song. He's all like, 'lol I missed one lol I'm too lazy to figure out which one lol let me know and I'll tell you where to put it tee hee.' So I tell him he's missing GLW and that he needs to rank it and send me a revised list. He's like, "lol nooo I'm too lazy lol I don't like it just stick it on the bottom lol. yeah the bottom. tee hee!" and I'm like..... dude I hate you. At first I was like, 'well I guess the only plus is it saves me work having to rearrange your list' but the more I thought about it.... no! Ya lazy foo! I mean he might have put it at the bottom anyway lol but who knows. Anyway this is out too soon. :'( Amazing song. I'm not too happy with the rest of you who ranked this in the 30s either just an fyi.

Now that I'm re-listening to it, I have no idea why I ranked "Good Lord Willing" that low. Although the "Good lord willing and the creek don't rise" part ruins the song for me after having such great energy from the verses to the chorus. With LBT having a lot of great songs, that one little thing must've tipped my decision.
Three top 10s eliminated with just this song and we're only at #26!? Some s**t might go down in this rankdown...

Good news is, sabre and I are much closer to being on the same page about this one. That's one thing about these rankdowns... things can change in the blink of an eye!

I will never understand why more people don't love "Good Lord Willing." It is absolutely incredibly perfect in my mind. The production is particularly fun and striking. I love songs with that kind of a 'swampy' vibe is what I'd call it. The same kinda thing LeAnn Rimes did with "Nothin' Better to Do," for instance.

I wish they'd go back to recording that kind of music...

So I at least want to reveal the next song before calling it a night. I'd actually be fine with reaching the top 20 before quitting tonight, but I feel as if most are offline for the evening. Plus, we did already get through 11 songs and it's only day 1 of reveals so let me know if y'all are lurking and if you want me to continue or not. A lot of people ranked "Everything Changes" and this next song back-to-back on their lists. I'm glad the one I'm about to reveal came out on top.

Guessing based on the clue that it's their debut single.

Okay, I think I will stop here. I know some more of you are online now, but there are also others who haven't even been on Pulse since we started lol and I don't want them to feel like they've been missing the whole thing. We'll resume this again tomorrow evening. I'll leave you with a hint:
Up next: A flop. LBT is known to have those from time to time...

Holy s**t I'm in shock </3 I wish I could say I was, but.. I've rarely come across anyone who likes this song. And I don't know why. It's beautiful. Fantastic melody and the vocals/harmonies are SO good! Fun personal story about this song: I bought VIP tickets for their Pain Killer Tour and during the Q&A portion of it, Karen was answering a question and briefly alluded to this song being their very first single. She didn't name the song and quickly followed it up with, "None of you probably know it anyway." Well, during the M&G, I walked up to her and said "you know how you said none of us probably know what song you were talking about? It's "Don't Waste My Time." They were all pretty impressed that I knew it and I proudly said, "I own the album" lol. :)

happy with the results so far honestly. Highest song I've lost so far is "Good Lord Willing". Would not be surprised to lose a top 10 sooner than later though unfortunately

Damn, I cannot believe their first 2 singles are out before "Happy People" and "Pain Killer" :'( What a travesty! There has to be some recency bias at play/those 2 songs being so old and different that nobody knew what to do with them, because they are nowhere close to bad enough to be out this close to the bottom 10.

"Don't Waste My Time" was better than I remembered it being when I revisited it for the rankdown, but still nowhere among their best. The chorus is pretty catchy, especially that "play for keeps" part which is all I can recall by memory from the song without listening to it again right now, lol. "Everything Changes" was pretty mediocre though. I have never gotten around to actually listening to their debut album, but from the style of the two singles (even their look in the music videos), I definitely get the vibe that Little Big Town really didn't have their artistic identity figured out quite yet. Just putting those two next to songs like "Boondocks" and "Bring It on Home" is almost jarring. I'm glad they came into their own pretty quickly though.

Also, LBTrocks, let me tell you a story about our flop mod sabre14. HE WAS ALSO MISSING A SONG WHEN HE SUBMITTED FOR THE 2014 COUNTRY RANKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was missing from his #88 slot, so he said, "Whatever is missing just put it there. I don't care." When I told him that the missing song was "Up All Night", he said, "Actually, put that one at #67 and change "Drink A Beer To #88. I don't care. Luke's song is boring af, so throw him under the bus." Murder has been committed down on music row, folks!!!

So their debut album era singles are out. Both of them are good, but they've definitely improved after that.
The clue for the next song was that it was a flop... Sadly LBT has a number of flops so... I'm assuming top 20's not a flop so I'm counting out songs like "Good as Gone" or "A Little More You" which both reached top 20. So maybe "The Reason Why" or "Happy People"? I don't quite see the Tornado era singles going out just yet although Sober's time might be running out soon.
I'm glad to see The Road to Here and Tornado eras doing well so far!!!

I admit, I did this one dirty in my rankings. It should probably be somewhere around #20. It's amazing to me how different Karen sounds. This almost sounds more SHeDAISY with a guy feature than LBT.
