Now I have the “Swingbatterbatter” hook stuck in my head again for the first time since the song fell off the charts and was largely forgotten. The Detroit country station that I was listening to at the time played their edited version of this song in which sportscasters were heard talking every time Trace paused to take a breath. Overall, WYCD was a good station, but they did let their creativity run away at times. Needless to say, any song that they edited they grossly overplayed.

I think he does a fine job and I am also enjoying his new song Gotta Be Somebody.

Conversely, though, when it comes to songwriting, James Taylor would eat Mr. Keith for breakfast.

His novelty songs got old after the release of “Celebrity” I had alot of hope for Brad Paisley, yet I havent the slightest urge to buy his past 3 albums

But surely a list of “Bad singles that were actually hits” is more enjoyable reading than a list of “Bad singles that you probably never heard.”

There are a few songs on the list that I enjoy as guilty pleasures, and part of the fun of these lists is disagreeing with certain entries and agreeing with others. That would be hard to do if most of the songs were obscure.

I don’t think country music is that terrible right now. There is some junk, but there always is.

Leann- No offense, but I don’t really expect you to be an objective voice of dissent here.
