Toby Keith
While I was researching songs I don't like... I found that I am certainly not a Toby Keith fan.
Toby, in addition to "I Wanna Talk About Me" is also the genius who brought us these songs:
"I Aint as good as I once was" - lyrics are about a drunk trying to pick up girls. It reminds me of far too many - 4-sheets to the wind drunks who roll up and slur something like this unappreciated fact into my ear when I have no interest. Sober up at least a little guys....
"Get Drunk and Be Someone" - Title says it all. While the drink may give you some confidence it won't make you anything other than drunk. Predictable melody and guitar riffs.
"Should have been a Cowboy" I like the melody alright enough, but I don't get the lyrics. "Should have been a cowboy. Should have learned to rope a ride....." - yeah? Well... you, like, still can, dude! Go do it! I'm sure lots of ranches want extra help, actually...
That said I do like "Red Solo Cup" and *cringe* "Honky Tonk" (yeah yeah ... I know)
So he's not all bad. He just has a really high ratio of songs I don't like. Of course, should go without saying - you have every right to like what you like even if I don't - and I mean no offense to anyone. :-)

I don't listen to country music much. I know Blake, but that's because of The Voice that is broadcast here @FayeHazel . Good you found some songs you like from Toby Keith. :)

Country isn't my main genre either, seems like I either really like it, or really dont

I'm actually a big fan of Toby Keith and take some of his silly songs with a grain of salt and a laugh.

@FayeHazel I certainty have to agree about his good looks. He also does a lot for our military which I admire

I am not really familiar with particular songs of his. Seen him in a few movies and that's about it.
