I know that "Oh Me, Oh My Sweet Baby" has always been one of tim's random least favorites, but I have always found it to be pretty catchy! Certainly not one that needed to do any better than this, but I've never been known to skip it! Ha, yea and aside from my post above I've always just found that this song in particular just doesn't flow well with the rest of Beyond the Blue Neon. I can't quite put my finger on it, but its inclusion as the final track just makes the album seem less cohesive for some reason. I don't know lol.

So happy to see "Stars On The Water" leave here. I just cannot get into it due to the autotune. I hate the sound of autotune on anyones voices, it just gives the vocals a fake quality that is unpleasant to me.

The melody of that one is a tad repetitive for my taste to start with, but the autotune is cringe every time.

I just wanted to let y'all know that I haven't forgotten about this! I have been doing a LOT on Pulse lately, between starting this, revealing the December New Releases rankdown and then getting January's list ready, entering lists for the 2022 year-end rankdown, getting the year-end chart ready for the Pulse Country Top 50, etc.... I've been doing lots of little things every day, but I know it's been awhile since I came back into this thread. It will still continue soon, don't you worry ;)

We kick off the top 60 with our #13 from the original '90s rankdown. I just love "Down Louisiana Way" so much! That melody is soooooo smooth and easy to listen to. I think this would have been a great single from the Lead On album. Probably more successful than the title track, at the very least.

It's hard to argue with the singles that got released from Ocean Front Property, as it was the album that spawned TWO borderline-career-singles in the title track and "All My Ex's Live In Texas", and "Am I Blue" was also a #1 hit in its own right. But of all the album tracks left behind on the album, "Hot Burning Flames" has always felt like the one with the most radio potential. I'm a little surprised to see it only be #59 here, but then again this rankdown is SO competitive, it's hard to complain about much, especially considering that the '80s is generally not as well-loved on this forum as the '90s and '00s are.

I've always felt like "Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy" is the hit that got away on the Livin' It Up album too. It has since been eclipsed by "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" and maybe even perhaps kinda "A Showman's Life" in terms of quality songs about a washed up cowboy/celebrity who used to be on top and then suddenly finds themself losing out to the younger crowd. But it still holds up well enough, and certainly would have been plenty impactful upon release!

"I Can't See Texas From Here" has always been my least favorite song from Strait from the Heart, so of course it would be towards the bottom of my list here. It is fine, but it's also pretty filler-y to me. Part of the problem is that Texas pride means absolutely nothing to a suburb boy from Washington State, lmao. But this is also quite a bit more dated than the rest of his second album. And the album in general is just so great that something has to be at the bottom, even if it's catchy!

"My Old Flame" is one of the most blatant examples of album filler to ever be in any of his album tracks rds, but yet here we are with it higher than amazing popular jams like "Stars on the Water", "Hot Burning Flames", "Baby Your Baby", "Somewhere Down In Texas", etc. Y'all are weird sometimes!

It understandably took a backseat to the year-end rankdown, but there really isn't a reason why I can't do a better job of pulling double-duty with this and the smaller rds that I always have going!

Sorry! I am in the middle of moving now, lol. That's why I haven't really done anything rankdown-related since early April. I will be out of my place by the end of this week, and then May will bring a loooooooot more flexibility and calm to my life

We kick off our long-awaited next set with "Everything I See", George's beloved tribute to his dad from shortly after he passed away. This has always been a significant fan favorite from the Cold Beer Conversation album, and definitely one of the more beloved album tracks from the most recent decade of George's career. The one thing that holds this one back for me slightly is that the integration of "the cloud" as a form of tech makes it sound a little bit too trendy and try-hard for George's standards, plus tech references in music almost always age worse than milk. But otherwise this is an emotional and powerful performance, and I truly love it!
How are there still 14 more songs that are going to miss the top half, when we're already losing such beloved classic George tracks as this?!??!!?

"Which Side Of The Glass" is one that I was honestly a tad surprised to see be in this rankdown at all, as it was definitely not one that I considered a lock for the top 20 of the 2000s rankdown. But not only did it manage to be included, it then lasted all the way into nearly the top of the bottom 30!!! This has always been a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Like, it's a little bit quirky, so I can definitely understand why it might not be everyone's cup of tea. But I find its personality to be very endearing, and to help it stand out in a career of strong consistency. Also, this first chorus has some of the coolest bass notes of his entire career if you listen to it on great speakers

"She Loves Me (She Don't Love You)" is definitely one of the standouts from Livin' It Up, although I would have rather seen "Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy" be the dominant track from that album. Nevertheless, it is always fun when George starts giving off BDE. One of the many underrated talents of George Strait is his ability to assert his masculinity without seeming toxic or messy, and this song is one of the best examples of that ability!
