Uggggggghhhh y'all I am NOT happy about this one!!!! "God Love Her" is one of Toby's best songs. Everything about this one is so perfect! That electric guitar driving the production gives this song such a distinctive sound, the story is so picturesque and realistic, and of course this is one of Toby's very best vocals in a career full of fantastic vocals. austin and .indulgecountry joined me in putting this in the top 5. ClevelandRox, what the hell are you doing though..........

I just as easily could have put "God Love Her" higher on my list as I've long enjoyed this one, but man my top 15 was already stacked. This has such a rockin' chorus that it never fails when it comes on the radio I start bobbing my head jamming out to this.

I liked “I Love This Bar” a lot more back then and for whatever reason I don’t find it to be quite as fun now. I just don’t ever really have any desire to wanna put this on nowadays. “A Little Less Talk And A Lot More Action” is a song that I still hear quite frequently on the radio (locally at least) and it never fails to get old. Still love this jam! Lmao I do not think you said what you think you said...

I'm not sure why but I've never been able to get into "I Love This Bar". I downright disliked it for a while, now I'm just meh on it so I'm happy to see it finally leave.

"Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine On You" is such an incredible song ![:love:](http://i.imgur.com/2smy76v.gif) I thought for sure it would be a top 10 contender. It was the first song to be a consistent #1 contender in this rankdown, as it spent the first 3-4 lists in the #1 position. Unfortunately it was not able to hang on, and kept creeping lower until it eventually fell out of the top 10. Of course it fell out of the top 15 thanks to the double whammy of LBTrocks and ChicaCherry콜라 right at the end, who forgot to differentiate their lists by a few positions with this song. But also, this song was not hated at ALL!!! Literally everybody put this in the top half of their list except for those two tankers, who didn't even put it in their bottom 20. Like, this song is clearly the most universally-liked song that we have encountered so far!

Great discovery when I was going through a collection of country songs for the year of 1996 and why I don't hear this on the radio anymore is a complete mystery. Maybe it's too gloomy?

The chorus is great, but getting to the chorus can be a bit of a chore for me because the song, in my opinion, has a rather sluggish start. I do like it tho.

"Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine On You" just as easily could've been my #1 song and I long for the days when radio used to play it. I just adore everything about this song but most especially the chorus and steel guitar. I really do wish this had made the top 15 and pains me to see yet again a couple tankers come along and pull the rug out from under what obviously most of consider to be a great song.

My 40 ranking is actually a good ranking considering how stacked this RD is. Let's not underestimate how much I love Toby! As I've said before, it isn't until my lower top 50 that you get into stuff I genuinely start to dislike, and even most of them are just meh vs flat out bad. Songs I ranked in my 50s start that...

Pretty solid top 15 minus DSBMESOY not making it in. This is a wild hair guess but I’ll say these five songs leave before the top 10:

Under an old brass paperweight is my list of things to do today. Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door. I cross 'em off as I get 'em done, but when the sun is set There's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet.

In what may be a surprise to some, "My List" bows out next, kicking off the top 15. This has always been one of Toby's more underrated hits from the early '00s, if you ask me. I mean, it hit #1, but it doesn't feel like it made quite the impact of a song like "I Love This Bar" or "Who's Your Daddy?". Still, the melody for this song is incredible, and the message is so universally important. It is a song that everybody should take to heart. Especially ClevelandRox, apparently.

Bummer..."My List" is one of my all-time favorite songs from Toby and every time I hear it I'm reminded that I too need to remember to live in the moment as I always seem to be thinking about tomorrow. I'm not surprised, though, as I did predict that this would leave before the top 10.

I ain't as good as I once was. My how the years have flown But there was a time Back in my prime When I could really hold my own. But if you want a fight tonight, Guess those boys don't look all that tough. I ain't as good as I once was, But I'm as good once as I ever was.

I thought there might be enough support for "As Good As I Once Was" to put it into the top 10, but alas it looks like with ChicaCherry콜라 and LBTrocks teaming up yet again (coincidence I think not!) to put this lower than everyone else it ended up weighing it down quite a bit. I do enjoy this one a lot but in the end I think it suffered from overplay.

The surprises keep on coming!!! "As Good As I Once Was" is definitely in the running for being Toby's career-defining hit... This song was such a HUGE hit, it was inescapable back in the mid-00s and for several years thereafter! Accordingly, this song undoubtedly has worn on some to the point where they cannot listen to it anymore. I was certainly in that position for awhile. I have started coming back around to it, but tbh I found this song really hard to rank. Objectively I feel like it belongs in the top 15, but there are probably songs I had to put outside my top 15 that I maybe come back to a little more frequently. George Strait Junkie says goodbye to his #1 here, while LBTrocks and ChicaCherry콜라 once again bring up the rear on a song that everyone else loves.

When we are opposite we are OPPOSITE. 😂
