Can't complain about my #1 ending up at #4. The three ahead of it are just as great.

I truly had no clue how y'all would treat "Lonely and Gone" so I'm just happy it ended up with a right good rank!

I'm shocked to see how well "Lonely And Gone" did! I hadn't even heard of it until this rankdown! I did enjoy it quite a bit, but didn't have enough experience with it to put it anywhere near their all-time classics. To me this feels about like if "Cryin' Game" were to make the top 4 in the upcoming Sara Evans rankdown over something like "Born To Fly"...
(Btw the Sara Evans rankdown is due TOMORROW! SUBMIT, SUBMIT!!!!!)

"She Couldn't Change Me" is classic MG, but I am a little surprised to see it make the top 3! I pretty much figured the two songs that were left would be the top 2, and "My Town" would be the most obvious #3 contender... "She Couldn't Change Me" is awesome though, so no complaints from me!

Now LET'S GO, "SPEED"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the PERFECT top 2, but "Speed" was less overplayed, so it hasn't worn on me through the years!

Actually I would say "Lonely and Gone" doing this well is equivalent to "No Place That Far" doing better than "Born To Fly". "Lonely and Gone" is a great song and was a big hit for them, in fact it was their first Top 5 hit, which "No Place That Far" was for Sara Evans.

I didn't realize it did so well for them, since I've never heard of it. But NPTF doing better than BTF would still be a pretty big upset! (Although I wouldn't complain )

How could y'all not have "Something To Be Proud Of" at number 1? I love "Speed" but come on.

Lol at the video pic for "Speed" being of Troy, who literally doesn't sing a note on the entire song...

Awesome! So happy to see "Speed" win, definitely the right song. I have loved that song ever since it first came out, like "Lonely and Gone".

"Speed" has also been my favorite MG song from the moment I heard it. There's just something about it that makes it so I never get tired of it. A perfect song, no matter which way you slice it

Again, don't let my 20 ranking fool you, I love "Something To Be Proud Of" and my love for it has just continued to grow over the years. Fantastic lyrics and Troy and Eddie sang the hell out of it. That said, still not one of my top favorites from them, and "Speed" is far superior imo. I do remember when the music video for this song first came out, teenage me was in love lol.
"Speed" is just fantastic on every level. The instrumentation is killer; the steel guitar is heavenly, vocally Eddie sounds incredible on it... the harmony is perfect. The melody is stellar, and the lyrics wonderful! I can't compliment it enough! Of the top 2, the right song definitely won!

"Something To Be Proud Of" is also incredible, too. Basically a perfect song as well! I definitely wouldn't have complained to see that one win either. But I just have to give the edge to "Speed" because "Speed" is underrated, and it is SO nice to see an underdog win another rankdown

Thank you all for participating in this rankdown and celebrating this wonderful country music duo, and honoring Troy's memory with me. I do sincerely apologize for it taking me over a year to do it, but I am so glad that I did this and that y'all did it with me! I've adored MG for so many years. Losing Troy was incredibly hard, but I'm so thankful that we have all the music from them that we do and that Eddie and the band are continuing in the music business and touring as Montgomery Gentry! Lots of great memories with this band and new ones to be made. I hope everyone had fun!
