i love Hurricane, and I have different for girls on my ipod but the lyrics like throwing a t shirt and jeans on and find a wall she could punch, well I wear a t shirt and jeans a lot and if you get a woman mad enough, she will punch a freaking wall. i am not a big fan of Darryl Worley's Have You Forgotten, though now i kind of wish that song would come back. i love Florida Georgia Line but Sun Daze is one of my least favorites and Summertime Blues by Alan Jackson, the lyrics to the song are not realistic, labor laws.
@@paulafitzhenry1036 Summertime blues is originally by Eddie Cochran and was first released in 1958 (according to Wikipedia), so the labor laws then were probably different. The song has been covered many times. The first version I heard was by The Beach Boys, and in that historical frame the lyrics made sense to me. Actually, every time I hear it I imagine a little imaginary video clip to it in my head :D
The lyrics are great on Momma's Broken Heart! Miranda slays this song and video! When she sings it, it brings a clear visual to mind! I think she should try acting!
I don't know if I'd call it hate, but Nobody but You by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani is the most forgettable song ever. I have listened to it several times, and honestly, when it ends it's like my brain erases it.
I actually went to a Kip concert a couple of years ago and he talked about how he wrote SAAT with his friends as poking fun to the basic country music tropes that were all over the radio and then it unironically became his first major hit
You know Grady, embrace the hatred. For one thing, we all love it when you talk about stuff you hate because most of us agree with it, and for another thing, some artists need holding accountable for terrible output. Come to the dark side! 😈
That album just doesn't exist, it's not possible a band this good can put out something as terrible ! (Although Somebody I Used to Know is a guilty pleasure I have to admit)
I like the concept of “Dear Today” but I totally get the point about half of it sounding like a demo and the other half sounding like a completed record. I think my least favorite of Luke’s is probably Beer Can. That type of song just doesn’t really do it for me, personally
understood Bad Blood and You Need To Calm Down (love them both as a Swiftie, they're super fun to listen to but they can get old pretty fast) but Miss Americana stung a bit not gonna lie-- still, love this video and hearing about your picks!! you're always so insightful and a blast to listen to, i love hearing you talk about country music and i love your content as a whole, it always makes my day a little better! you're so awesome!!!
@@85isaboat53 if you mean that i'm not going to bash you if you don't like Taylor Swift, then yes? i wouldn't call it a cult and don't want to refer to myself as a "good one" though lmbo, there's plenty of nice Swifties out there, the ones who cause unnecessary drama and issues are just louder
@@snazzyness1016 that is a good point you bring up, I guess I was just thinking about in this sense because he does predominantly country music reviews
A random video of yours popped up in my feed a few months ago and now you’re the reason I’m a country music fan, never touched the genre before! Thank you for making great videos ☺️
He is so passionated about country music that he makes you want to listen. And I think he has very good taste. Have you seen his video about "Raised" by Hailey Whitters? That album is a gem and I wouldn't have discovered if he didn't made that video.
@@Paulxl just did! Wow it’s incredible, actually got to see her open for Pardi before I knew who she was. Hearing the Boys Back Home live was a delight! Glad I finally got the reminder to check out the whole album. Do you have any more suggestions for more indie country since you totally know your stuff 🤠
@@vikingsoup7531 Idk that much really. 😅 I just watch Grady's videos and take notes. I usually agree with his opinions. Other people I have discovered thanks to Grady and I love are Zach Bryan and Tyler Childers. I really like their sound. And Zach was my most listened artist in 2020.
Dude, totally didn't expect you to use my answer---- so cool. And, so glad I could help you be Shady Grady---- I always find it funny when he comes out. I mean seriously the whole "Friend Zone" section of this video was hilarious. Also, another one that came to my mind during this was Eric Church's "Kill A Word". Always just thought that song was so strange. But, seriously how could someone hate on "Momma's Broken Heart? " And "Something 'Bout A Truck" was like my jam back in the day so I just can't help but love that song every time it comes on.
"Little Bit of Everything" - Keith Urban (the first Keith song I disliked before Ripcord, Graffiti U, Speed of Now) "Tip of My Tongue" - Kenny Chesney "Don't Ya" - Brett Eldredge "What She Wants Tonight" - Luke Bryan "You Time" - Scotty McCreery "Hometown Girl" - Josh Turner "Rumor" - Lee Brice
Grady my man… Higher Wire is one of my favorite Chief songs!! Awesome live too! I am disappointed that you don’t feel the same! All good brother, still a big fan of yours. Love listening to your opinions on country music.
Brad Paisley to me was a yee haw or yee naw artist. You have great songs like Waitin' On A Woman, Letter to Me, Two People Fell In Love, and We Danced offset by songs that have me turning the station quickly like Ticks, Online, and I'm Still A Guy.
I love “Ticks!” But I do agree that Brad Paisley has a bunch of winners, and quite a few lackluster songs in his catalogue. In my opinion “Perfect Storm,” “My Miracle,” and “Little Moments” are all blah.
Damn. I understand why its not on Spotify anymore, but I still miss Anita. Easily my favorite song by Zach. Theres just something about it that ticks all the boxes for me
Holy effing shit!! Higher Wire is my all-time favorite Eric Church song! I’m obsessed with that song probably because it was sonic departure for him. Everything about that song gives me chills - the bebop backing vocals, the sliding guitar, his powerful vocal delivery.
I agree!! Jenny is one of my all-time faves from Church! When I heard it, I just knew it was going to be EXTRA amazing live. Eric def likes to put deep cuts on his albums that he can take to the next level during his tours/live show. That sliding guitar.... Whew!!
@@ThreeHndred65Days lol it’s funny because I didn’t care for Jenny much when I first heard the album, but I saw Eric in Denver last year and that song is amazing live. I’ve been jamming it ever since lol
@@bollywoodoverhollywood8139 he was, but later in the video he included submissions from his social media followers and he said a lot of them mentioned the song Jenny.
Okay first of all, “kidz bop song” made me actually lol, and that never happens when I say lol. I’ve always disliked that song as well put couldn’t put my finger on what I hated about it so much. But you nailed it 😂 also, the song “hurricane” by Luke Combs literally made stop listening to the radio once and for all. They played it soooooo much and it was sooooo boring and just blah 🫢
Love this fun little video! I took the challenge to look at one of my favorite artists, Cody Johnson, after some digging the only song I found I don't really care for is Grass Stains. I don't really care for the image/thought of green in places the sun don't shine 🤣
The song “Talk to me right” by Cody Johnson goes against every other song he’s ever released. All his other songs talk about how you should hold on to a good thing, but this one throws that all out in place for a guy why takes his ring off and sleeps with a girl while his wife and two kids are at home without him. It’s just so NOT the Cody I came to love!
Oh my god you referenced “The Green Grass Grew All Around,” I’ve been singing that nonstop lately debating if my nephew is too little to learn it yet.😂 That just made my day. And it is schnockered/schnackered. The o vs a seems debatable but the ch is crucial. 😂
“Cop Car” by Sam Hunt on his acoustic album (Between the Pines) is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, but on the Montevallo album, it’s wayyyyy too produced and sounds horrendous
You're spot on with this hot take please be on the pines was beautiful as an entirety the acoustic sound works really well with Sam's voice montevallo was so overproduced it felt like another cheap two cent country pop record that wasn't worth the 30 minutes it took to listen to
Truck Yeah always holds a special place in my heart. It was playing on the radio right around the time I got my first car, which was a truck. So when everyone started asking what I named my truck, I decided to name it Tim in honor of Tim McGraw and his godawful song. Then the universe blessed me by having me get a new truck right when Eric Church released Heart & Soul, and his song Bad Mother Trucker earned my new truck the name of Eric. So I feel like the truck pun songs should stay lol
Higher Wire is probably one of my favorite Church songs. For me, it’s his mainstream stuff that gets way overplayed on the radio. Homeboy comes to mind.
For me, forever after all by Luke combs is still a great song but I'd be my pick for a song I don't like by an artist I love just because it got so overplayed and I was just tired of it
!!!! I've never felt so negative about a song from an artist I absolutely love like I had with Different For Girls. Just the way how it groups 2 types of coping with gender never sat well with me. But what made me really throw this song out the window was hearing ppl say how "real" and "powerful" it is... I'm sorry, have you HEARD Quarterback by Kira Isabella?! I know it was 2 year earlier but that song has fucking stuck with me for so long.
I also agree with the person who brought up Friend Zone by Danielle Bradbery. That isn’t a very good song, but she does have a great voice and some good songs like Girls In My Hometown and Laying Low. I’d say my favorite stuff of hers are her live/acoustic performances. Her covers of No Air with Jimmie Allen and Tin Man which she did as part of her “Stairwell Sessions” on her YT channel, Shallow which was also done with Jimmie, and A Broken Wing and The Climb which she did on the Bobby Bones Show are just a few of my favorites
My understanding of Different for Girls makes a lot more sense with the music video, since the guy tries to do what the song says except he doesn't actually get any better by the end, where the girl talks with her friends and lets herself grief the relationship and she goes out drinking happily by the end. So to me it sounded more like a dry irony, like they know what they are saying isn't true; like it often is a bit different for girls but that doesn't mean its better for guys. I still see you're point, if you don't think that break-up reactions are different for girls and guys then even ironically it doesn't make sense.
7500 OBO - Tim McGraw The Joint - Eric Church (I love Higher Wire and Jenny though lol) Pink Sunglasses - Miranda Lambert Jason Aldean’s whole “double album” Macon/Georgia pretty much. Definitely agree on a decent amount of the ones in this video though.
I will echo your sentiments on “Hurricane” by Luke Combs. I’ll be honest, my introduction to Luke was “When it Rains, it Pours”. It was reminiscent of the music I fell in love with Country music, but yet had a modern feel. When I found out it was not his debut, I took a listen to “Hurricane” and just didn’t get it. At all. I’d go as far as to say that it is my absolute least favorite song of his and am baffled that it was what put him on the map. Great video yet again!
Something I wanna say about Luke Combs "Hurricane" I don't ever go out of my way to listen to it on Spotify. But that song in person at a concert is really good. I don't know what they do different at the concert but it sounds a little better. Something with the guitars I maybe a bit more prominent. Im not sure.
I love somethin bout a truck but I am dying at the comparison to the green grass grows all around. Because it’s so true and ive been trying to figure out what song it reminds me of for 10 years
A lot of these songs are some of my favorites (High Beams, Bad Blood, Hurricane) but that is the beauty of this we're all entitled to different opinions!
I didn't see your IG post, or I might have commented. But if you ever do a part 2, here are my "picks" of songs I don't care for from artists I like &/or love: Keith Urban- "Blue Ain't Your Color"; Luke Bryan- "All My Friends Say"; Tracy Lawrance- "Find Out Who Your Friends Are"; Toby Keith- "Red Solo Cup"; (going old school here) Willie Nelson- "On The Road Again"; Dierks Bentley- "What Was I Thinking" + "Free And Easy"; Zach Brown Band- "Chicken Fried". I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any other songs or artists 'off the top of my head' right now. And, quick question: how/why do you not like Taylor's "You Need To Calm Down"? That one has a pretty great message: just treat other people with basic human decency no matter if your opinions/lifestyles are different.
I can't stand Me! There was a period of time where I happened to be watching a lot of award shows, and it felt like everywhere I went she was performing Me. I hope I never hear it again
Red Solo Cup by Toby Keith. Had to drive with the radio off for the first few months after that song came out cause that’s all Country Radio would play. I will ALWAYS change the station when I hear it!
For me “Hurricane” was just very relatable to me being in college. It’s just about trying to move on from someone but once you see them again somewhere you just instantly regressing back to falling back for them
I get what you're saying and it's true some ladies get wasted to get over a guy but some of us don't. I don't drink. It does take me awhile to let go and I'm more of a loner so I have plenty of alone time to think. I spend a lot of time at home reading, painting, cleaning and listening to music. My nights I spend on the beach taking photos while listening to music and I love it that way. I like to think maybe he's talking about all of us ladies that are not the typical of today's times and not in their 20's. Never heard it before so now I'm going to give it a listen.
Justin Moore's debut single Back That Thang Up, Jon Pardi's Up All Night, Kenny Chesney's Come Over, Aaron Watson's Unwanted Man, Reba McEntire's If I were A Boy.
I don’t know why but I do love truck yeah, like it’s just about a love for trucks and lifted trucks, it may not be super country but it is a pretty good sounding song that’s fun to listen to, for me at least
The worst country songs of all time for me are 1. Body like a back road - Sam Hunt 2. 4x4 - Hardy 3. Drunk - Elle King/Miranda Lambert 4. Mamas broken hearts - Miranda Lambert The worst artiest that hate listening to are 1. Sam Hunt 2. Thomas Rhett 3. Hardy
Morgan Wallen: If I know Me (Maroon 5esque pop song) Luke Combs: Beautiful Crazy (Generic love song) Eric Church: Drink in my Hand (weird two loud snare hits that throw the beat of the chorus off) FGL: Beer:30/New Truck (I do not have to explain) Josh Turner: Hometown Girl (Creepy)
If I know me is not a bad song it's just not as country as people would want it I think . Just because a love song could seem as generic doesn't mean it's a bad song.But It's your opinion
Love your take, Grady, although I love the voices of Dierks and Elle King together on Different for Girls (but yes, agree that the premise is (mostly) false). 🤣 That's Country Bro by Toby Keith was a letdown after waiting for new music (kinda' like Billy Currington's entire Intuition album in 2021. Ugh!). I agree - Miranda Lambert's Mama's Broken is kickass in my view, but I have always hated Little Red Wagon and wondered how that could have been such a 'hit' song.
On Hurricane by Luke Combs: I’ve been a huge fan of his ever since I heard that song when it came out, so while now I’d say it’s not my absolute favorite of his by any stretch, it’ll always kind of have a place in my music heart. As far as just a few of my picks, I’ll go with: Thomas Rhett: Vacation; T-Shirt Chris Young: Losing Sleep; Hangin’ On Rascal Flatts: Payback Scotty McCreery: Southern Belle
100% Put it on Ice and South Side from Thomas Rhett. Also, Happy New Year from Parker McCollum...not sure why I don't like it, but it just rubs me the wrong way
I think ever lovin hand is definitely a strange song, but it’s really well written and has that classic Tyler childers bluegrass sound so imo it’s a good song. It’s just so different from his hits like feathered Indians, whitehouse road, nose on the grindstone, lady May etc. I don’t think Tyler has bad songs, certainly some that are better than others, but no bad songs per se. Especially not compared to the songs in this video lmao
Gosh. Whatever that atrocity was by Zac Brown Band, “Gucci Bags, stacks on stacks…” I truly have not listened to that album again since it came out 3 years ago. I will never touch that disgrace of an album ever again
As a fellow massive Eric Church fan, I agree with your take. I felt like he was pandering to radio with both that song and his appearance on "The Only Way I Know." Given that preconceived notion I had, when I heard "Springsteen" for the first time listening to the radio, I thought that it was sadly going to tank on the charts because it was it was too smart of a lyric to resonate with the masses during the early stages of the "Bro-Country" era. I'm ecstatic that I was dead wrong.
Your take on Dear Today is the only L I’ve ever seen you take. The difference in production is what makes that drop in so nice 🤌🏼 also the message behind it is so loved in and easy to relate to. I just think you could’ve picked a far worse song of Luke’s to hate 🤷🏽♂️
I woould say Kelsea B's The Other Girl. Mann, she was trying soooo hard to breakin in country and pop radio at the same time like The Bones or Meant To Be. It was tooooo poppy for country radio and thank god it tanked so hard 😂
Loving the shady content! Please give us more hot takes and shade. This is a tangent but one of the most painful live performances is Alan Jackson, George Strait, Dierks Bently and Brad Paisley singing Country Boy together. It was so bad and I probably need therapy to unsee it. The song itself is playful and delivers a well-mannered country man as a bad boy dont-need-no-wing-man, flying solo, getting all the ladies sort of vibe. But that performance had all 4 of the big stars playing alpha and fighting over the narrative, making the song and the performance kind of petty and unpalatable. None of the innuendo was coming across as playful, but just really creepy.

@@beniveyv7849 I understand and that’s ok

I don't know if I'd call it
hate, but Nobody but You by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani is the most forgettable song ever. I have listened to it several times, and honestly, when it ends it's like my brain erases it.
I never particularly liked Blake, but this song is so sickeningly sweet. What are they trying to prove?
Hurricane is still one of my favorites from Combs. The melody is just so good.
Hurricane and When it Rains it Pours we’re Luke’s peak for me - they have not been matched since.
Hurricane is the exact opposite of boring. It will always be a jam
Hurricane is so relatable for me. Top 3 Combs song, imo.
I could never get past the production on it.
@@adeckerbuck I’d say When it rains it pours and She got the best of me. But Hurricane is good too.

You know Grady, embrace the hatred. For one thing, we all love it when you talk about stuff you hate because most of us agree with it, and for another thing, some artists need holding accountable for terrible output.
Come to the dark side! 😈
You need more cut scenes because the “you don’t need him” cut was freaking hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I'll stan ZBB until the day that I die, but every song on The Owl except for Leaving Love Behind was an abomination
Agreed although I do like "Finish What We Started" also.
That album just doesn't exist, it's not possible a band this good can put out something as terrible ! (Although Somebody I Used to Know is a guilty pleasure I have to admit)
Wholeheartedly agree, abomination is the only word for it
I stopped following ZBB after the Uncaged album
I like the concept of “Dear Today” but I totally get the point about half of it sounding like a demo and the other half sounding like a completed record. I think my least favorite of Luke’s is probably Beer Can. That type of song just doesn’t really do it for me, personally
Same Beer Can is really the only song of his I don’t like
Beer Can was one of the original double meaning at the end of the chorus songs which is kinda neat
I actually like “Beer Can” for the double meaning
Dear Today is my favorite Luke Combs song but I love every single Luke song
Sorry, this is not related at all to what you are talking about but nice pfp

"What She Wants Tonight" - Luke Bryan
"You Time" - Scotty McCreery
"Hometown Girl" - Josh Turner
"Rumor" - Lee Brice

Rumor by Lee Brice is a good call, I like Lee but that song is not great
Grady my man… Higher Wire is one of my favorite Chief songs!! Awesome live too! I am disappointed that you don’t feel the same! All good brother, still a big fan of yours. Love listening to your opinions on country music.

I love “Ticks!” But I do agree that Brad Paisley has a bunch of winners, and quite a few lackluster songs in his catalogue. In my opinion “Perfect Storm,” “My Miracle,” and “Little Moments” are all blah.
I love Miranda Lambert too, but that song you mentioned I agree! Also she doesn’t need weird vocal effects! She sounds better with less effects!
Man, Dear Today is one of my favorites😂. The switch half way through the song is SOO good

Then the universe blessed me by having me get a new truck right when Eric Church released Heart & Soul, and his song Bad Mother Trucker earned my new truck the name of Eric.
So I feel like the truck pun songs should stay lol
Higher Wire is probably one of my favorite Church songs. For me, it’s his mainstream stuff that gets way overplayed on the radio. Homeboy comes to mind.
It's Springsteen for me. Pretty sure my local radio station played that song every hour on the hour for about 3 months.
Drink In My Hand for me. I hear almost every day
I totally vibe to "I Hope She's Drinking Tonight," it's lively and fun sounding, but yeah, it gets awkward if you think about it too long. 😂
Grady posting while i’m in school? Gotta do what I gotta do.
Do what you do what you do what you do what you do
@@GradySmith keep doing that thing you doooo running from the truthhh…
For me, forever after all by Luke combs is still a great song but I'd be my pick for a song I don't like by an artist I love just because it got so overplayed and I was just tired of it
Better together was way more overplayed
!!!! I've never felt so negative about a song from an artist I absolutely love like I had with Different For Girls. Just the way how it groups 2 types of coping with gender never sat well with me. But what made me really throw this song out the window was hearing ppl say how "real" and "powerful" it is... I'm sorry, have you HEARD Quarterback by Kira Isabella?! I know it was 2 year earlier but that song has fucking stuck with me for so long.
This!!!
I also agree with the person who brought up Friend Zone by Danielle Bradbery. That isn’t a very good song, but she does have a great voice and some good songs like Girls In My Hometown and Laying Low. I’d say my favorite stuff of hers are her live/acoustic performances. Her covers of No Air with Jimmie Allen and Tin Man which she did as part of her “Stairwell Sessions” on her YT channel, Shallow which was also done with Jimmie, and A Broken Wing and The Climb which she did on the Bobby Bones Show are just a few of my favorites
Yes, love her voice but Friend Zone is awful!!
I think DB is a terrinbly underrated artist with a great voice. But "Friend Zone" is positively wretched.
I’m not a country music listener but I love this channel. I subscribed.
My understanding of Different for Girls makes a lot more sense with the music video, since the guy tries to do what the song says except he doesn't actually get any better by the end, where the girl talks with her friends and lets herself grief the relationship and she goes out drinking happily by the end. So to me it sounded more like a dry irony, like they know what they are saying isn't true; like it often is a bit different for girls but that doesn't mean its better for guys. I still see you're point, if you don't think that break-up reactions are different for girls and guys then even ironically it doesn't make sense.
This might be the shadiest Grady video I've ever seen!
Also, we seriously need some Shady Grady merch 👀
7500 OBO - Tim McGraw
The Joint - Eric Church (I love Higher Wire and Jenny though lol)
Pink Sunglasses - Miranda Lambert
Jason Aldean’s whole “double album” Macon/Georgia pretty much.
Definitely agree on a decent amount of the ones in this video though.
I love the Ernest popping up at ‘buy her flowers’ 😅
I will echo your sentiments on “Hurricane” by Luke Combs. I’ll be honest, my introduction to Luke was “When it Rains, it Pours”. It was reminiscent of the music I fell in love with Country music, but yet had a modern feel. When I found out it was not his debut, I took a listen to “Hurricane” and just didn’t get it. At all. I’d go as far as to say that it is my absolute least favorite song of his and am baffled that it was what put him on the map.
Great video yet again!
"Beautiful Crazy" is my least fav. It's just way too predictable.
@@to13726 "Cold As You" was and is a preset-pusher for me.
Im loving the videos lately!!! So much great stuff! Thank you, you bright up my day :)
Something I wanna say about Luke Combs "Hurricane" I don't ever go out of my way to listen to it on Spotify. But that song in person at a concert is really good. I don't know what they do different at the concert but it sounds a little better. Something with the guitars I maybe a bit more prominent. Im not sure.
Dear Today grew so much on me, i agree that id want to see a fully produced version
I can’t believe people don’t like Yin Yang girl, I love that song. Chorus rocks out
Wait I was thinking the same thing HAHA
As much as I love Eric Church, he does miss every so often and when he misses he misses big
I love somethin bout a truck but I am dying at the comparison to the green grass grows all around. Because it’s so true and ive been trying to figure out what song it reminds me of for 10 years
A lot of these songs are some of my favorites (High Beams, Bad Blood, Hurricane) but that is the beauty of this we're all entitled to different opinions!
Mr. Kenny Chesney's awful "she think's my tractor's sexy" haha
The face layover of the chicks saying “you don’t need him!”💀💀💀💀
Luke's song i wish would go away the most is easily the new one on the radio, The Kind Of Love We Make
Lord I hate that song!
I completely agree. It's *WAY* too overplayed imo
Burning it down by Jason Aldean needs to be here plus red solo cup by Toby Keith
I didn't see your IG post, or I might have commented. But if you ever do a part 2, here are my "picks" of songs I don't
care for from artists I like &/or love: Keith Urban- "Blue Ain't Your Color"; Luke Bryan- "All My Friends Say";
Tracy Lawrance- "Find Out Who Your Friends Are"; Toby Keith- "Red Solo Cup"; (going old school here) Willie Nelson-
"On The Road Again"; Dierks Bentley- "What Was I Thinking" + "Free And Easy"; Zach Brown Band- "Chicken Fried".
I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any other songs or artists 'off the top of my head' right now. And, quick question: how/why do you not like Taylor's "You Need To Calm Down"? That one has a pretty great message: just treat other people with basic human decency no matter if your opinions/lifestyles are different.
Over You - Miranda Lambert
Sing Along and the whole Sound and Fury album - Sturgill
ME - Taylor
I can't stand Me! There was a period of time where I happened to be watching a lot of award shows, and it felt like everywhere I went she was performing Me. I hope I never hear it again
I'm hurt. Kick the Dust Up was the first Luke Bryan song I ever heard and it's what got me attached.
Red Solo Cup by Toby Keith. Had to drive with the radio off for the first few months after that song came out cause that’s all Country Radio would play. I will ALWAYS change the station when I hear it!
For me “Hurricane” was just very relatable to me being in college. It’s just about trying to move on from someone but once you see them again somewhere you just instantly regressing back to falling back for them
I’m SHOCKED to see Lori on this list AT ALL. Happy People is not her normal sad song, but it is SUCH a Lori song!
I don’t think anyone likes Rolex on a redneck
love the editing and Shady Grady, keep up the good work man
Grady talking about friend zone has me laughing out loud
Definitely adding “snackered” to my vocabulary 😂 also I love smokin and drinkin. The song and the activity.
I get what you're saying and it's true some ladies get wasted to get over a guy but some of us don't. I don't drink. It does take me awhile to let go and I'm more of a loner so I have plenty of alone time to think. I spend a lot of time at home reading, painting, cleaning and listening to music. My nights I spend on the beach taking photos while listening to music and I love it that way. I like to think maybe he's talking about all of us ladies that are not the typical of today's times and not in their 20's. Never heard it before so now I'm going to give it a listen.
I have to agree with you on “Hurricane”, it’s one of Luke’s most popular songs but I just don’t feel it at all.
Justin Moore's debut single Back That Thang Up, Jon Pardi's Up All Night, Kenny Chesney's Come Over, Aaron Watson's Unwanted Man, Reba McEntire's If I were A Boy.
What?! You don't like "Unwanted Man?" Blasphemy! LOL
@@Island-Girl It was not one of his best songs out there.
@@Spitfirethedragon I think my favorite AW song is "Off The Record."
Drunk On A Plane - Dierks Bentley cannot stand that song.
I don’t like any of Luke combs songs, not saying he’s a bad singer I just grew up with traditional country music
My Jaw dropped when you said Hurricane that’s my favorite Luke song
Somethin bout a truck is one of the best songs ever written. It’s super fkn fun.
I agree with a lot of yours!! The kids bop😂 Carrie Underwood's Ghost Story for sure
The kids bop edit has me DYING 😂
"King of Saturday Night" sounds like a Brooks & Dunn song with Kix Brooks on lead vocals
I don’t know why but I do love truck yeah, like it’s just about a love for trucks and lifted trucks, it may not be super country but it is a pretty good sounding song that’s fun to listen to, for me at least
Corn Star by Craig Morgan-does not align with songs like That’s What I Love About Sundays 😂
The worst country songs of all time for me are
1. Body like a back road - Sam Hunt
2. 4x4 - Hardy
3. Drunk - Elle King/Miranda Lambert
4. Mamas broken hearts - Miranda Lambert
The worst artiest that hate listening to are
1. Sam Hunt
2. Thomas Rhett
3. Hardy
Morgan Wallen: If I know Me (Maroon 5esque pop song)
Luke Combs: Beautiful Crazy (Generic love song)
Eric Church: Drink in my Hand (weird two loud snare hits that throw the beat of the chorus off)
FGL: Beer:30/New Truck (I do not have to explain)
Josh Turner: Hometown Girl (Creepy)
If I know me is not a bad song it's just not as country as people would want it I think . Just because a love song could seem as generic doesn't mean it's a bad song.But It's your opinion
Love your take, Grady, although I love the voices of Dierks and Elle King together on Different for Girls (but yes, agree that the premise is (mostly) false). 🤣 That's Country Bro by Toby Keith was a letdown after waiting for new music (kinda' like Billy Currington's entire Intuition album in 2021. Ugh!). I agree - Miranda Lambert's Mama's Broken is kickass in my view, but I have always hated Little Red Wagon and wondered how that could have been such a 'hit' song.
On Hurricane by Luke Combs: I’ve been a huge fan of his ever since I heard that song when it came out, so while now I’d say it’s not my absolute favorite of his by any stretch, it’ll always kind of have a place in my music heart.
As far as just a few of my picks, I’ll go with:
Thomas Rhett: Vacation; T-Shirt
Chris Young: Losing Sleep; Hangin’ On
Rascal Flatts: Payback
Scotty McCreery: Southern Belle
His ex favorite song was definitely Hurricane
You should do Songs you love by artists you didn’t know sang the song
100% Put it on Ice and South Side from Thomas Rhett. Also, Happy New Year from Parker McCollum...not sure why I don't like it, but it just rubs me the wrong way
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince did not deserve that slander.
FACTS
In the Midwest, some people say “schnookered.” That may be what you were looking for?
Please review the new Whiskey Myers album ‘Tornillo’ !!! Love your content.
Great Album. Nowhere close to country music though. Southern Rock.
Exactly Jon is the only artist that truly never misses
I think ever lovin hand is definitely a strange song, but it’s really well written and has that classic Tyler childers bluegrass sound so imo it’s a good song. It’s just so different from his hits like feathered Indians, whitehouse road, nose on the grindstone, lady May etc. I don’t think Tyler has bad songs, certainly some that are better than others, but no bad songs per se. Especially not compared to the songs in this video lmao
Gosh. Whatever that atrocity was by Zac Brown Band, “Gucci Bags, stacks on stacks…” I truly have not listened to that album again since it came out 3 years ago. I will never touch that disgrace of an album ever again
I'm a massive Eric Church fan and too be honest I've never liked Drink in my Hand.
😳
As a fellow massive Eric Church fan, I agree with your take. I felt like he was pandering to radio with both that song and his appearance on "The Only Way I Know."
Given that preconceived notion I had, when I heard "Springsteen" for the first time listening to the radio, I thought that it was sadly going to tank on the charts because it was it was too smart of a lyric to resonate with the masses during the early stages of the "Bro-Country" era. I'm ecstatic that I was dead wrong.
I always use that song as my go to the bathroom and get a beer song at concerts
I agree with evrrything except Hurricane. I know its nothing special but it sparked my love for Luke’s music.
Your take on Dear Today is the only L I’ve ever seen you take. The difference in production is what makes that drop in so nice 🤌🏼 also the message behind it is so loved in and easy to relate to. I just think you could’ve picked a far worse song of Luke’s to hate 🤷🏽♂️
I like to hear Grady's opinion on Country Music
I woould say Kelsea B's The Other Girl. Mann, she was trying soooo hard to breakin in country and pop radio at the same time like The Bones or Meant To Be. It was tooooo poppy for country radio and thank god it tanked so hard 😂
Half of My Hometown, UGH
I was nervous about your pick for Miranda Lambert haha, but I totally agree!! I often forget that song ever existed.
I love this editing style!
Loving the shady content! Please give us more hot takes and shade.
This is a tangent but one of the most painful live performances is Alan Jackson, George Strait, Dierks Bently and Brad Paisley singing Country Boy together. It was so bad and I probably need therapy to unsee it.
The song itself is playful and delivers a well-mannered country man as a bad boy dont-need-no-wing-man, flying solo, getting all the ladies sort of vibe. But that performance had all 4 of the big stars playing alpha and fighting over the narrative, making the song and the performance kind of petty and unpalatable. None of the innuendo was coming across as playful, but just really creepy.
I actually really like Higher Wire. I’ll agree with someone else on here and say The Joint.
1000% agree
