Given some advice about the page being frustrating, I'm trying to make more positive posts. I'm trying to make top ten songs posts about every week and this week I'm talking about the big boys Florida Georgia Line, everybody's favorite or most hated artist. They have had the most interesting career of the decade, and they had some ups and many, many downs and I'm here to highlight their ups so lets get started.
10. Stay
This rock cover actually sounds good, this one of the rare occurrences when bro country sounds fantastic. They really bring power to this song and came strong after Cruise and its reign. Proving that not all bro country is about a girl and a truck.
9. Told You
Told You really brings out their bluesy sound, and unlike Talk You Out Of It this is a sex jam. Told You, is also one of Grady's favorites from the duo.
8. Speed Of Love
This is a fun fast paced story driven smash. And I really hope this is their next radio single. This really proves what genre they belong in and I hope their future tracks can really get drawn from this.
7. H.O.L.Y.
People credit this to be their finest, while I think it is really good, I don't really see it that way. They show off their mature side with this song and their powerful vocals as well and you get the number one single of 2016.
6. May We All
May We All was their first baby steps to getting the sound of their 4th album. This song is a smash and I really loved the sound of it, my only problem with this song is that it lyrically makes no sense which keeps it from rising higher on this list.
5. Simple
This song came out of nowhere. When Meant To Be was the the biggest thing, and it really proved to people that they were country. And it felt good for a true country song to be doing well on the charts.
4. Colorado
This reminds me of the message of Friends In Low Places, and it is a smash, using excellent lyrics with traditional sounds and modern sounds. It was good to hear Florida Georgia Line sound like they should have all along.
3. Cruise
This was their biggest hit in their career and ironically their first. Cruise when it came out was so refreshing as most artists were copying the sound of Lady Antebellum who were the biggest stars at the time and then this song comes out of nowhere and pushed them out of the spotlight and left artists speechless and everybody went scrambling trying to copy their sound. Which gives the sour taste of it now knowing this sparke

Never forget.
I remember the good times of 2012. I was 8 years old, Springsteen was released as a radio single, Carrie Underwood released her 4th album blown away. What a time to be alive, am I right, then, BABY YOU A SONG, YOU MAKE ME WANNA ROLL MY WINDOWS DOWN AND CRUISE!!! Then they came along, Florida Georgia Line, the now infamous duo is credited by many as the biggest artist of the past decade as well as being on the death lists of many, many traditionalists. They have had many ups and many many downs. They receive so much love from their fans and so much hate as well. Trigger does give them credit when its due but most of the time he just bashes them, so many people do. Whenever they release new music, people just dismiss it as garbage. So many people just say, "You're not country, you're music sucks, please die in a fire, etc..) The one thing people always miss and don't really bring up is that they are actually really good artists.
Let's break this down into more detail shall we. Here's To The Good Times, their debut studio album was extremely successful. Each single went to number one on the radio, like Get Your Shine On, Stay, Cruise, Round Here, and This How We Roll (Minus The Rap Section). Each of these songs are smash hits, they are fun, catchy, and exciting, everything I want in a hit single. They did a collab with Nelly which rose to the 5 of the hot 100. As well as the top 10 overall genre year end chart. So this album was a success, it was a nice compromise, which OBVIOUSLY would be unique to them and them alone right.
Well...no
Pretty much after that, every single mainstream artist just copied them and they weren't even good copies. It was like pressing FGL in a copier machine and each copy didn't have enough ink, and came out distorted and bad. The result was Kip Moore, Randy Houser, Brantley Gilbert, Jason Aldean and even more. The quality FGL had from their album pretty much meant nothing because every single on the radio was about beers, trucks, and girls, way too many girls. Thankfully due to the criticism we got the real crown jewel of their career.
Dirt was released as the lead single of their next album and holy crap it was so good. This was a song so good, Trigger gave this song a 2 guns up which is 9/10 or higher in his standards, he doesn't even give that to some of his favorite artists. Dirt is in my top 5 all time favorite country songs, the writing is so good as well as the sound of it. Dirt was a step in the right direction fo
