2)[rant] And, from the You've Got To Be ****ing Kidding Me Dept: Tim McGraw, with something like "Truck Yeah". Is that the title? I don't know. I don't really want to know. The initial guitar riff was kind of interesting, then things went downhill from there, in a hurry.

It had, like too goddamn many songs recently, the obligatory truck reference as well as a line something like, "tell the DJ to PLAY SOME COUNTRY!". WTF. This is a song more suited to an assclown like Luke Bryan. If your country song has to repeatedly beat us in the head with I'M COUNTRY AND I'M LEGIT well, it's not. Embarrassing. What's wrong, maybe, with making a good song that happens to be country? I think ol' Tim has jumped the shark, and the gator, and all the catfish too.

I might post Pontoon if no one else does but I won't post that McGraw song because **** that song, that's why.[/rant]

That was kind of fun. I feel better.

Oh, and I like that Suzy Bogguss song above. I'd forgotten about it.

Man I'm right there with you on "Truck Yeah." It may indeed be the worst song I've ever heard. Worse than "Achey Breaky Heart" kind of bad. I'm actually embarrassed to play it... but I never let my personal tastes or feelings rule what we play so.... ugh. I was thinking about posting it and labeling it as a new worst song ever. I've never been much of a McGraw fan although I do like a few of his songs but man you're right..... he's jumped off the deep end now. I just pray it doesn't become a bonafide hit.

Oh and Mosbonian I can't rep you again right now for the Ed Bruce so REP here. It's funny, I was just listening to "My First Taste of Texas" a couple nights ago.
