Luke Bryan

I get the Rucker comparison -- basically a good time dude who talks about partying more than he actually parties and doesn't want to piss anyone off. That's why he's crossed over while Brantley Gilbert and Dierks Bentley haven't. I don't dislike him but other than "Buzzkill" and "Drunk on You" he's a flat EKG reading for me.

yes and references to trucks

xpost arrrggggh omg guys basically i'm just saying whatever was pop in the sticks is fair-game for country 15 years later. hootie got inducted into the club, then cute boys humping the air, eminem, etc

I've actually liked Rucker's country material more than Bryan's.

"Drink a Beer" is ridiculous but I generally like his songs, love "All My Friends Say" a lot and I think his borrowings from R&B and hip hop are more "progressive" than duetting with LL Cool J

yeah personally i love the weird sort of paradox in country where saying "hey didn't we all blast the marshall mathers lp in high school" gets you labeled a "progressive"

ha i saw this dude two nights ago at a country festival here, def thought he was basically boyband hooks x bryan adams. none of his stuff was actively amazing (though after florida georgia line it was so welcome), the hookier and more uptempo the better. that "drink a beer" song made me want to cringe into a ball though, absolutely abysmal

here is the only thing Luke Bryan has ever done that I have enjoyed:
