The Best Country Music Songs For If You Hate Country Music

I have heard it many times. “You are obviously Texan if you like country music.” “It is the music of poor people.” “I really hate country music.” I have heard these sayings best never really understood why. I, personally, think it is really hard to judge an entire genre of music, the same way it is difficult to judge an entire race of people. So I have devised a list of country songs that could help you like, or at the very least appreciate, country music.

  1. Country Girl (Shake It For Me) by Luke Bryan
  2. You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift (Yes, a throwback)
  3. In My Daughter’s Eyes by Martina McBride
  4. That’s My Kind of Night by Luke Bryan
  5. I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes
  6. Vacation by Thomas Rhett
  7. House Party by Sam Hunt
  8. Rock On By Thomas Beathard
  9. All American Girl by Carrie Underwood
  10. 10. Take Your Time by Sam Hunt
  11. 11. Your Side Of The Bed by Little Big Town
  12. 12. Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw
  13. 13. While You Loved Me by Rascal Flatts
  14. 14. Burning House by Cam
  15. 15. Crash My Party by Luke Bryan
  16. 16. Castaway by Zac Brown Band
  17. 17. Be My Girl by John & Jacob
  18. 18. God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash
  19. 19. Need You Now by Lady Antebellum
  20. 20. Mama’ Broken Heart by Miranda Lambert
  21. 21. Girl Next Door by Brandy Clark
  22. 22. It Don’t Hurt Like It Used To by Billy Currington
  23. 23. Wanted by Hunter Hayes
  24. 24. Crazier by Taylor Swift
  25. 25. God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood
  26. 26. Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning by Alan Jackson
  27. 27. Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker
  28. 28. You Look Like I Need A Drink by Justin Monroe
  29. 29. American Country Love Song by Jake Owen
  30. 30. Day Drinking by Little Big Town
  31. 31. She’s Got A Way With Words by Blake Shelton

Now obviously some of these songs have some more banjo or country twang (like Mama’s Broken Heart and Be My Girl) than others (like Need You Now and Wanted). Yet, I think all of these songs represent good country music for every occasion! Is it September 11th? Play Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning! Are you spending a day outside by the lake? Play Day Drinking! Are you trying to make a long distance relationship work? Then, play I Want Crazy! There is literally no reason to hate country music especially with so many talented artists out there like Carrie Underwood or Luke Bryan. If you still don’t like country music after listening to all of these songs then keep searching because there has to be something out there that you will absolutely love!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
