100 Best Country Songs of 2015: #80-61

by Julian Spivey
The best country music these days is music that’s very rarely being played on mainstream country radio. I have maintained this stance for many years now ever since country radio began degrading itself with stereotypical topics and poor caliber of lyrics that honestly rarely seem to make a lot of sense. Many have failed to realize that there is a whole entire world of country music out there that’s gone completely ignored by country radio despite its obvious superiority. Because of this I’ve tried for the last few years to have the most extensive list of “best country songs” on the Internet. I want people to hear truly good music and I want people to realize there is a lot more to country music than what they’re forced to hear on their car or truck radios.
