8. Friends In Low Places - Garth Brooks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e_HtjZS8SQ Garth Brooks is one of the world's most celebrated Luddites, and pretty openly so. Despite being the second best-selling solo albums artist in the United States of all time (second to the Beatles), Brooks has found his demographic and completely shuns every single form of music streaming. Well, actually, perhaps saying he's scared of technology is slightly incorrect, since he owns his own streaming service - called Ghost Tunes. So maybe he's just a genius who sets his own rules. Unfortunately for Spotify users, the quite excellent 'Friends In Low Places' - which took only eight weeks to reach #1 in the US charts - is the kind of anthemic country song that defies the limitations that its subject matter would usually guarantee. Schools have even asked to use it as their class tune: despite the story being of a descent into alcoholism. Frankly, when you've teachers asking for a song about the decline into alcoholism to represent a group of kids, you know you've made something special.
