Best of the Best: Country Rankdown Winners - Part IV (Done)

[tim]

“The Gambler” is a classic and a song that I’ve liked since I was a kid. It was a pleasure getting to honor the late Kenny Rogers and is great to see him represented here.

Oh. I tanked Patty Loveless, it looks like. SORRY!!! 

It wasn't my intention...it's just not one of my favorites among this list unfortunately. Had "Blame It On Your Heart" made it in tho...

Ok you redeemed yourself with that last statement... "Blame It On Your Heart" is an iconic masterpiece and should be treated as such.

[austin]

Wow, Patty was LOW.

Very few country songs are able to make feel sassy, but Patty’s “I’m That Kind of Girl” is just that song!

[bboat11]

I'm honestly surprised how well both of the Patty songs we lost today did! Surely y'all remember how badly her older material got tanked last time we did one of these... I know these aren't quite as old, but they are still older than most of the participants... Lol

It's funny, because it's "Blame It On Your Heart" that does that for me lol!

Also, I laugh every time I see her name, because my mom's name is coincidentally Patty

Gosh, if I recall correctly, she was trapped in the bottom 10-15 or so. Definitely deserved better that round

Wow the results are random af. Also not me showing my unfamiliarity towards LAW catalog by suggesting Something Worth Leaving Behind being top 5 contender, only to see it being eliminated before top 30

[bboat11]

Since Patty Loveless is the latest topic of conversation, let's talk about one of her other winners from this set! "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" is one of her biggest Pulse Favorites, as it has finished at #2 in castleoblivion26's Favorite Female Artists rankdown as well as Gretchen Peters' Songwriter rankdown, and #1 in both Patty's singles rankdown and the When Fallen Angels Fly album rankdown.

The explosive chorus and lyrics that very interestingly focus on both characters within a failing marriage make this a song that never gets old for most of us



Bonus: "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" - Patty Loveless

"All My Favorite People" is one of my favorites from Maren's new album, and it is also one of Brothers Osborne's best songs. I hope it gets to be a single one of these days in the near future!!

[LBTrocks]

bboat11 I regret encouraging you to go on

[tim]

“All My Favorite People” should’ve been the song of the summer for 2020. I can’t believe they didn’t go with this.

"The River and the Highway" is such an underrated song I loooooove the lyrics! The metaphor work is top notch, and Pam's vocals are also perfect for this song.

[taylor]

I agree on "All my Favorite People." Maren & Co. really dropped the ball by not releasing that, as it would've kept up her huge momentum from "The Bones," instead of the historic floppage we're seeing now from "To Hell & Back."

I absolutely adore “The River and the Highway” and it was such a pleasure getting to revisit the song again in her album rankdown (yet another reason I enjoy doing them!). I do wish this had done a little better here because I think its my highest ranking song from Pam, but a top 30 showing is probably about as good as this was going to do.

That's because the next song was an actual jam that deserved better.

Clearly you should have ranked "Spilled Perfume" a little higher, so you could have been less disappointed in how your highest Pam song did...
