I do not remember a country version of Lips Of An Angel. But I seem to slightly recall a country cover of Aerosmith's I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. But maybe not.

^This one's pretty solid, the Lips one isn't very good though.

We're still waiting for the Kevin Rudolf remix featuring TPain and Akon. You know, like every rhythmic song these days. "Goodbye is a second chance, Sexy girl, take off your pants, eh, eh, eh, eh..." Not bad, but throwing those "ehs" in there would come courtesy of The-Dream, not any of those other guys listed.

Sorry, couldn't even make it a minute on those country songs. The poor sound quality aside, butchering classic rock songs with twang was horrible!

Well, Hinder is not so classic yet. But Lips Of An Angel will be one of the biggest hits of the decade. I tried giving C&W a shot when Brooks and McGraw made it big in middle school. They just didn't have an appeal to me, for various reasons.
I did however have free tickets to last night's Academy Of Country Music Awards, but I was unable to attend.

No need to be angry. But even the relatively minor plans I had beat going to see country artists perform and take statues. Sorry!

Well it's hardly an argument when I already agreed with you!
But like I said I tried Brooks and McGraw. If it makes you feel better I do have the Robert Plant / Alison Krauss CD, which has to count for something. I even bought the Darius Rucker disc out of curiosity and nostalgia but wasn't too terribly disappointed.
What recommendations would you give?

Our station just got the British version of The Sound Of Madness. It inexplicably does not have Second Chance on it. It does have three other tracks the U.S. version does not have. But why in the world would this be left of Britain's version of this album? I'm guessing a record label issue or something.

I guess that's the part I don't get out. You'd have to think the British are buying it assuming Shinedown's biggest ever hit will be on there. I can't think of any other case where something like this has happened.
Did they think tacking on three B sides that American's don't have would make up for it?

Especially since we do have them, it's just on a special deluxe edition.

Few things make me happier than coming home from vacation and seeing this song pass Beyonce and Miley Cyrus on the pop chart. And it's not even like those songs are falling, all three of them are still climbing the chart. This could easily hit top 10 on CHR now.
As for country recommendations for art, I just picked up Jason Aldean's new album "Wide Open," and it's definitely one of my favorites of the year. My favorite country group is Montgomery Gentry though, pretty much all their stuff is good.

I guess I assumed this was already top ten at CHR. But it would be nice to see a hard rocking group crack the upper part of that chart.
You'll forgive me if I've never heard of Jason Aldean. But Montgomery Gentry seems like they've been around as long as Oak Ridge Boys and Alabama.

And this will go top ten on CHR by next week. Most surprising crossover band (top ten at least) I believe I've ever seen. Except maybe Faith No More. Or Epic may have not gone that high.

Yes, "Epic" peaked at #9, and I'm a bit shocked to discover that. I don't find "Second Chance" to be all that surprising, though. All Shinedown really had to do was make another song in the same vein aurally as "45", make it a bit more positive and uplifting, have it crack the top 2 on Alternative, and it's a no-brainer crossover smash.

"Epic" didn't even get Top 5 back then? Wow. I STILL hear that song constantly on my local Alternative and Active Rock stations. I'd thought it would have hit #1 for months from the amount of recurrent play it gets now.

I meant "Epic" peaked at #9 on CHR, but I checked and found that it didn't even crack the Billboard Modern top 30 at all (???), but "Midlife Crisis" had no trouble shooting straight to #1 for a week in 1992? That can't be right, can it?

I'm surprised that Epic only peaked at #25 on Album Rock (now Mainstream Rock Tracks). It did not chart on Modern.
My theory is that it was the summer on '90 and the Hair Metal bands had reached their creative peak. Maybe alternative stations were too afraid of backlash for playing Epic after CHR took it and ran with it. The same reason Modern was not playing Poison, Cinderella, etc. The bands hitting #1 on Modern that year were the likes of INXS, Midnight Oil, and Jane's Addiction. But Epic today still seems to appear on many alternative playlists.
I'm not incredibly shocked by Second Chance crossing over. I meant Shinedown the band seemed really unlikely to become a pop success.

Okay, where are you guys finding the #9 peak from? This site tells me it peaked at #21. Are we looking at Billboard?

Yeah, I'm looking at Billboard's Hot 100. Simply put, they were good until November 1991.

I assumed he meant Epic peaked at #9 on CHR too. Did Faith No More do anything after 1991 as a group?

This song just won't die, lol.
It has now gone top 10 on both CHR and HAC. Next up: Country and Rhythmic.
