Are These The Worst Country Songs of All Time?
This is bound to cause some controversy...
Brantley Gilbert, Hardy, and Toby Kieth just released a new song called "The Worst Country Song Of All Time". It's a very tongue-in-cheek song that talks about things that are the complete opposite of what you'd expect to hear in a country song. You can give it a listen below:
While the song is meant to be humorous, I wouldn't put it on the list of best country songs of all time. However, the release of this song has gotten a lot of people talking about what exactly are the worst country songs of all time.
Now, I will be the first to admit that I love the traditional country. I grew up on 90s country music, and to me, that's my idea of country music. All of this "pop country" and "bro-country" stuff just doesn't work for me. Travis Tritt said it best when he said "Country Ain't Country No More". When talking about "real country music", it's all relative. What you think is a good country song, might not be my cup of tea. So, trying to decide the worst country songs of all time is practically impossible. However, that doesn't mean that I can't share my opinion.
I put together a list of the worst country songs of all time, in my opinion. There are a few reasons why a song could end up on this list:
- It's too "poppy" and doesn't sound like a country song.
- Lyrically, it's terrible
- It's just downright annoying.
