8. living on dreams and spaghetti-os - Martina McBride "This one's for the girls"
9. there is no Arizona, no painted desert, no Sedona "There ain't no Arizona" - and my god, do I ever love this song
10. I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into One of the new boys, not Kenny Chesney, might be Brad Paisly, don't think it's Keith Urban, "(I live for)Little Moments Like That"
Music's like poetry - is poetry, I think. It's gonna manipulate you and make you react on pure gut, not intellectual. I have to grin (smirk? smirk unfairly?) when a person (even me) says "This song made me think..."
'Cause music ain't no thinkin' thang. *g*
And, for a lot of people, songs like Toby Keith's American Soldier and Angry American are 'bucking the system' - protesting 'mainstream' liberal urbanism.
I find it very interesting that country music has several very good songs that reacted to September and to the ongoing War on Terror - covering a wide range of reactions, but mostly refective, not drumbeaters. Pop/rock has, I think, Bruce Springsteen's City in Ruins. (Please, do say if you've heard others.)
On that note, let me recommend Dixie Chicks (again) - they are worth it. Traveling Soldier will make you cry, though.
Others you might like are Trace Atkins ("I'm Tryin'") and Pam Tillis ("Spilled Perfume"). Older ones I like are Merl Haggard and (early) Tanya Tucker. Johnny Cash, but surely he's already on your list. *g*
