[...] jr wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerptGiven her allegiance to country music’s history and personal association with both Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, you might think this was a cover of that duo’s first top ten hit. Instead, it’s a very modern-sounding song with a … [...]

There are some great choices here- nice job guys!

My favorites are “Mine All Mine, “Me And Emily, Forgive, “So Small and “Fifteen.”

Swift isn’t a decent singer, but I’m always struck by the scincerity and strike between reflection and storytelling in the song.

Yay I’ve been looking forward to this list! Very excited to see Lady A’s “I Run to You” make the list! Im hoping “Need You Now” can hopefully sneak onto the list somehow. I look forward to seeing more of Reba and Carrie as the list goes on. Also, the SheDAISY song is definitely one of my favorites by them! Can’t wait to see who fills the rest of the list!

Also, I’m glad to see “Mine All Mine” on here, one of my favorite SHeDAISY songs, it’s probably close to where I’d have put it, maybe a little higher on my list (if I had the time to make one!)

I appriciate the time and effort you all put into tthese lists, they are entertaining and fun for us to read!!

Interesting to see how you guys compiled it!!

I’m surprised to see “So Small” on here, wouldn’t think that it would chart. It’s one of her more forgettable hits, but I enjoy it just as much.

Glad to see representation from different artists on here, I might be checking out a lot of this music, since I like to use these kinds of lists to find new music.

I personally would have put “White Horse” instead of “Fifteen” on the list, because I didn’t really like “Fifteen,” and “WH” is one of my few favs from her.
“Teardrops” and “Tim McGraw” are the only other Swift singles I’d figure on making this chart.

I feel “Perfect” and “He Gets That From Me,” especially “He Gets That From Me” should be ranked higher than they are… but that’s just me.

Overall, good start and can’t wait to see more!! :)

Tara Seetharam: “The implication being that this is inherently bad?”

Me: not necessarily. A cover album is derivative, but doesn’t have to be bad. This Brad Paisley song, though, is bad.

Tara Seetharam: “You must think a lot of music is bad, then”

Me: Sort of. Probably 90% of what you hear on the radio is white noise until you get to a song you like. Doesn’t mean all those other songs are bad – they’re just not good.

Ooooh! 201 Singles? I’m excited! I’m pleased to see Patty Loveless’ “The Last Thing On My Mind”, Rachel Proctor’s “Me and Emily” and even Josh Gracin’s “Nothin’ To Lose” in this first bunch. The only song I strongly dislike is the one chosen to kick it all off, Lady Antebellum’s “I Run To You”.
