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.

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

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
