I've always liked FYA but I agree that it's pretty overrated. It's why I love "Biscuits" so much personally because it reads almost like a more fun and better produced, sung, and written version of FYA.
The one thing that irks me about FYA is the line about kissing in the chorus because it's painted to be this radical pro-gay lyric, but "if that's what you're into" has never sat right with me, because while I know the theme of the song is "everyone just be yourself," it comes off like it insinuates choice. So the phrasing of that has always bothered me and kept me from really getting into that one the way everyone else seems to have gotten behind it, lol.

Great job hosting this bboat11 Thanks! Lol my rankdown will end up being boring compared to this. To be fair bboat11 sets a SUPER high standard with all the clues and the shade so... bboat11 but thank you for hosting this! You did a great job, as usual, and even tho I complained most of the time I still had fun! :) You are so welcome, guys. Thank you for participating!! I had a blast hosting for you all :) I love hosting these modern country rankdowns! I feel like they really tend to bring everyone together in ways that lots of other rankdowns don't quite manage to accomplish. Even across different genres, more people are participating and having fun. I could not have done it without each and every person who participated! So thank you to everyone who submitted a list, followed along, commented, etc. We all worked together to help make this rankdown as fun and memorable as it has proven to be :) I look forward to seeing you all in future rankdowns!!!

My #1 just won a rankdown. This doesn't happen often.
Also glad that George Strait made the top 10, but I'm shocked to see that Eric Church song (GMBMH) end up so high.

Worthwhile winner in Kacey. In fact, top 3 were all solid, so no complaints there. Many thanks to bboat11 for flawlessly hosting, would have participated more if the reveals were at a kinder hour for myself! I'll be back for the 2013 RD, if there is one!

Oh wow I missed 15 pages. Here are my reactions: 10. Roller Coaster - I think it's a decent song but I actually prefer some of his songs above this one. 9. Drunk On A Plane - This one just does nothing for me. I don't like the melody and I don't get the lyrics of the song. Also, that G6 line just makes this song worse imo. 8. I Got A Car - I'm sorry but it kinda bored me. I know that's a great country song but as a "Pop Poster" I prefer more upbeat songs. 7. Wasting All These Tears - Wow. I never expected this to reach Top 10 My favorite discovery here. Such a great song. Ayy bboat I didn't think this would be your #1, nice to see that :) 6. Meanwhile Back At Mama's - Great song, one of his best. Glad it made Top 10. Remaining songs for me: #2, 13, 15, 20, 22. Great Top 5! 5. Give Me Back My Hometown - Another good song by him. I'm happy it made Top 10 too. 4. I Hold On - I actually really like most of his song, except Drunk On A Plane. Definitely deserved Top 5. Kacey ftw pls (Automatic is good too though). 3. Keep It To Yourself - Surprised it made Top 3. It's not one of her best, but still a great song and better than most of the stuff on the list. So it's my #2 vs my #20. 2. Automatic - Good song, I don't mind it made Top 2. 1. Follow Your Arrow - Yess really happy it won Great song! Thanks bboat for hosting this Rankdown! It was a lot of fun to read it. Looking forward to the 2013 Rankdown :)

We tried to knock some sense into people. This song is garbage but I've been swayed by trash before too so I guess y'all just have your blinders on. Hilarious I had like the third best average of the top 20 and then my fking 96th ranked song wins. The lyrics of this are childish, production is borning and video is horrendous.

BUT YAS AT FYA WINNING! Overall great results. The Tim/Faith song is something I will never understand the love for... such a snoozefest so I'm glad it didn't win.
