"If It's Gonna Rain" FTW! I know you were acting so sure of this prediction for the entire rankdown, but I cannot BELIEVE that you actually got this right This has been such a random ass rankdown! I'm thrilled tho!

For all the complaining about what taylor did to push songs lower, we definitely need to celebrate him boosting this into the top 10 where it belonged. Thank you!!! I just wish I had been able to push it up even higher!

So there you have it!!!! Alan Jackson's duet featuring George proved to be a huge force in this rankdown! It was in the top 5 for most of the rankdown! However, as strong of a contender as it was, it never occupied the #1 slot! "If It's Gonna Rain", on the other hand, was the only song in this entire list to be in the top 5 for the entire submission process (and even then it was in the top 3 for nearly the entire time)!! This has long been one of my favorites from George. I love the melancholy vibe of the song (it is literally perfect for listening during rainy weather, lol), and I also really love how well this one shows off George's voice with all those powerful high notes Nobody put this at #1, but it still had top 10 ranks from everybody except for four people! Thank you everybody for participating and following along!!! I always have so much fun hosting these album tracks rankdowns Don't forget to vote on which decade we'll do next! Also don't forget that Pam Tillis and Trisha Yearwood both have open album tracks rankdowns right now as well!

Speaking of songs that should've been released as singles, you can add both "Designated Drinker" and "If It's Gonna Rain" to that list. I'd take the first over "Work In Progress" and the second over "Don't Make Me Come Over There and Love You". Why neither labels chose to release either one we'll never know, but looking back I think it was a mistake not to. There's no doubt that country radio was wanting "Designated Drinker" as a single and I believe it would've been a huge hit for both of them. And how on earth the Dean Dillon co-write "If It's Gonna Rain" got overlooked I don't know.
Anyways, I'm thrilled with the end results!

Thanks again bboat11 and I thoroughly enjoyed being here for all of the reveals (that should be a requirement for each one of these lol!). I'm looking forward to whatever decade y'all choose next as I'll be happy with either one!

I might've had a hand in tanking "Designated Drinker". Sorry. However, :o @ melancholy prevailing. I've developed a soft spot for "If It's Gonna Rain" tbh. Went ahead and voted in the poll, but I'm fine with either decade next.

Solid enough winner, but very disappointed that "Ain't Her Cowboy" missed out on the victory. </3

Solid enough winner, but very disappointed that "Ain't Her Cowboy" missed out on the victory. </3 I was just thinking the same thing, I should be content with Top 5. But I'm Not. This one hurts even more than "Run" getting the shaft. Thanks bboat11, great rankdown otherwise! Though it definitely felt like a roller coaster at times. #JusticeforItJustComesNatural

Solid enough winner, but very disappointed that "Ain't Her Cowboy" missed out on the victory. </3 I'm not sad to see "It's Gonna Rain" take the victory, but it was gutting to see "Ain't Her Cowboy" get so close and then get tanked clear out of the top 3. I should be happy that it came close, especially given how poorly it did in the multi artist album cut rankdown a few years back (where it was somehow the MOST polarizing out of 100 songs, and failed to even make the top half), but yet I'm still super bummed it missed out on top 2.

It would appear we have a pretty clear winner!!!! 12 votes total, with 8 for the 1990s and 4 for the 1980s. That means the '90s have won! This is also going to be the largest individual decade of the series, so it will be good to get it out of the way next

Tracklist: (Runtime 2 hr 42 min) 1. Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy 2. She Loves Me (She Don't Love You) 3. Someone Had To Teach You 4. We're Supposed To Do That Now And Then 5. I've Convinced Everybody But Me 6. Home In San Antone 7. Is It Already Time 8. Milk Cow Blues 9. Trains Make Me Lonesome 10. Holding My Own 11. You're Right I'm Wrong 12. Wonderland Of Love 13. It's Alright With Me 14. Where The Sidewalk Ends 15. The King Of Broken Hearts 16. Overnight Male 17. Baby Your Baby 18. Last In Love 19. Thoughts Of A Fool 20. Stay Out Of My Arms 21.

So I took a couple liberties with the tracklist here. Namely, both the Pure Country and Carrying Your Love With Me albums had a tie for 5th-highest album track, so I opted to include both members of that tie. In exchange, to keep us at an even 50, I took a couple songs off of Livin' It Up and Chill Of An Early Fall, because those albums are not quite as stacked so it didn't feel as necessary to go 5 deep!
So for anyone who cares about specifics, I got rid of "Stranger In My Arms" and "Her Only Bad Habit Is Me" in exchange for "Thoughts Of A Fool" and "I've Got A Funny Feeling". I don't think anyone will be too upset about that, cause the latter two are from two of his stronger albums of his career!
Also, don't forget Pam Tillis and Trisha Yearwood both have album tracks rankdowns that are open right now as well! Both are larger than this one too.... So I have scheduled this one after those both close, so you have time to focus on them first if you want to!

I've been pretty quiet about this one since I opened it about a week ago, but I'd say it's a good time to do our first reminder post! As of right now there are 4 weeks left to get this done! Still plenty of time, but I don't want you to forget! :) Participants so far: 1. tim

I gave reminders for all my other rankdowns earlier, and then I randomly fell asleep before I could do this one Am I getting old? We have a second list!!!!! Yay for ClevelandRox!!!! Everyone else, this is your 3 week warning!!! :) It's probably naive of me to say this because album tracks rds are always slow to gather participants, but I would loooooove to not have to extend! Lol Participants so far: 1. tim2. ClevelandRox

Now that this has been bumped, it's a great time for the 2 week warning!!!! This is settled in nicely between Tracy Lawrence and May New Releases, so I would really like to close it on time! If I have to extend it, it would potentially have to be multiple weeks... We have a third list from gardyfan! I still need to do my own list, yay. Participants so far: 1. tim 2. ClevelandRox 3. gardyfan

I am working my way though this list. With the 80's and 90's I have automatic Top 5 album tracks that everything else has to contend with, but with the 90's I don't have that same automatic look at the list and immediately see what looks like it may be my top 5. This is challenging...

Extension alert!! I was trying not to have to extend this, but things have just gotten a little too backed up lately in the Rankdown world and in my own life. I am going to make this due on Sunday, July 4th! That means we officially have 2 more weeks until this is due! We have also received a 4th list from George Strait Junkie. Hopefully we can get a few more soon (including my own)!! Participants so far: 1. tim 2. ClevelandRox 3. gardyfan 4. George Strait Junkie

Oh good! I was wanting to do this but was getting worried I was gonna have to forgo it. That said, this'll likely be one of the last rankdowns I submit for, for the time being ;) I know our host saw my post in Random Thoughts, but I'll make a similar announcement in the rankdown thread cause it'll be a long hiatus that I wind up going on, one that affects many of my rankdowns (that I had planned on doing or had ideas for). And I only brought that up because this will be due the day before I start said hiatus
