Still mighty entertaining, though....

Good times, all around, and some fine snark here, Kevin. As for "Dead Flowers." I think it's a fine song on its own, with one of Lambert's strongest vocal performances. It makes for a strong album track. But I think it was an exceptionally poor choice for a single, especially for an artist with such a hit-or-more-likely-miss streak at radio. I think she would've been better served by releasing "Guilty in Here" or "Dry Town" as a fifth single from <i>Crazy Ex-Girlfriend</i>, and then leading off <i>Revolution</i> with "White Liar," "Heart Like Mine," or "Me and Your Cigarettes." So I can get on board with its inclusion on this list. I’d been looking forward to reading this, and neither the actual entry nor the comment thread have disappointed.

It's not that RF did it, it's how they did it that's the problem for those of us who agree with its inclusion on the list. No one's saying it's untouchable, just that the lack of perspective that RF's recording/interpretation shows is cringeworthy. “I’m sorry, but I really don’t think people would be b****ing about this song nearly as much if ANYONE but Rascal Flatts had done it.”
