Ranking Every Eric Church Song That He’s Ever Released

How’s everybody liking the new Eric Church album so far? It’s really no secret that Chief is one of my all-time favorite artists, so of course I’ve had Evangeline vs. The Machine on repeat since it dropped a week or so ago. But as I usually do, I decided to go back and listen to the rest of Church’s catalog again too – and man, does he have some great songs. When you have a catalog as deep as Church’s, it makes it hard as a listener to pick out your favorites. As I was listening back through albums like Sinners Like Me and Carolina, I kept coming across songs that I hadn’t listened to in awhile and thinking, “Man, I forgot how much I loved that one.” And then there were more recent songs on Desperate Man and Heart & Soul that just never got the credit they deserved, or maybe I just didn’t appreciate them as much at the time. But as I was listening, I decided I was going to try to rank every single one of Church’s songs that he’s released over his two-decade long career. Spoiler alert: It was way harder than I thought it was going to be. Church has released eight studio albums: Sinners Like Me, Carolina, Chief, The Outsiders, Mr. Misunderstood, Desperate Man, Heart & Soul, and most recently, Evangeline vs. The Machine. And he also released an EP, Caldwell County, back in 2011. Along with the bonus tracks from each albums, that makes 105 songs total that Church has released – and let me tell you, ranking them wasn’t an easy task. I know nobody’s going to agree with all of my rankings, and that’s fine. This is just my opinion at this moment in time. Ask me again tomorrow (or in an hour) and I can pretty much guarantee that they’ll change. But hopefully as you go through you’ll discover – or re-discover – some songs that you had forgotten about, or maybe deserve a second look. Or maybe you’ll just totally disagree with me and disregard anything else I have to say. And that’s fine too. Like I said, this is just my opinion. And one more thing: As an Eric Church fan, I would take pretty much every song on this list over the best song in most artists’ catalogs. Just because a song is ranked lower doesn’t mean I don’t like it. There’s not a lot of difference for me between 1 and 100 when it comes to Eric Church songs. So with all that said here’s my attempt at ranking every Eric Church song: 105. Jenny I’ll be honest, this was an easy one for me. I’ve just never been a fan of the song, and it’s pretty much my only skip in Church’s entire catalog. But hey, 1 out of 105 ain’t bad. 104. The Joint 103. Dark Side 102. Chevy Van 101. Look Good And You Know It 100. Three Year Old 99. Heart Like A Wheel 98. My Heart’s Got A Memory 97. Roller Coaster Ride 96. Kill A Word 95. Hangin’ Around 94. Solid 93. Rock & Roll Found Me 92. Without You Here 91. Broke Record 90. Bad Mother Trucker 89. Young And Wild 88. Bright Side Girl 87. Keep On 86. You Make It Look So Easy 85. Faster Than My Angels Can Fly 84. Where I Wanna Be 83. Do Side 82. How ‘Bout You 81. Break It Kind Of Guy 80. Cold One 79. The Outsiders 78. Devil, Devil 77. Doing Life With Me 76. I’m Gettin’ Stoned 75. Drink In My Hand 74. His Kind Of Money (My Kind Of Love) 73. Love Your Love The Most 72. The Snake 71. Love Shine Down 70. Jack Daniels 69. That’s Damn Rock & Roll 68. Clap Hands 67. Mad Man 66. Lovin’ Me Anyway Casual Eric Church fans might not remember this one, but it was a bonus track from Chief. It’s never been released on streaming, which is a shame because it’s a banger. But luckily you can still find it on YouTube if you either missed it when it came out or just want to go back and give it another listen. 65. Through My Ray-Bans 64. Like Jesus Does 63. Ain’t Killed Me Yet 62. Longer Gone 61. Evangeline 60. Drowning Man 59. Bunch of Nothing 58. Creepin’ 57. Like A Wrecking Ball 56. Hell On The Heart 55. Stick That In Your Country Song 54. Never Break Heart 53. Crazyland 52. Rocket’s White Lincoln 51. Kiss Her Goodbye This one’s probably a few spots higher because it contains one of my all-time favorite lines from Church: My lips can’t seem to drink up enough neon To kiss her goodbye 50. Chattanooga Lucy 49. Lone Wolf 48. Hippie Radio 47. Jukebox and A Bar 46. Before She Does 45. Hungover & Hard Up 44. People Break 43. Bleed On Paper 42. Higher Wire This may be one of Church’s weirdest songs, and I have a feeling a lot of people would have it near the bottom of their lists, but it’s actually one of my favorites from Desperate Man. Do I know what it means? Not a clue. Do I love it? Absolutely. 41. Darkest Hour 40. Desperate Man 39. Heart On Fire 38. Hands Of Time 37. Carolina 36. Lotta Boot Left To Fill 35. Homeboy 34. Livin’ Part Of Life 33. Two Pink Lines 32. Country Music Jesus 31. Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones 30. Some Of It 29. Holdin’ My Own 28. Mistress Named Music 27. Give Me Back My Hometown 26. Round Here Buzz 25. Smoke A Little Smoke 24. Over When It’s Over 23. Pledge Allegiance To The Hag 22. Monsters 21. Johnny 20. Mixed Drinks About Feelings 19. Russian Roulette 18. Springsteen 17. What I Almost Was 16. Storm In Their Blood 15. Can’t Take It With You This song has another one of my all-time favorite lines from Church: Never realized how much she brought to the table ‘Til I went to set my cup of coffee where the table used to be 14. Record Year 13. Guys Like Me 12. Hell Of A View 11. A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young 10. Where She Told Me To Go 9. Those I’ve Loved 8. Heart Of The Night This is one I never felt like got the love that it should have, not only for its rock opera sound but also for the vivid imagery in the lyrics about running off into the “still-beating heart of the night.” 7. These Boots 6. Talladega 5. Mr. Misunderstood 4. The Hard Way 3. Knives Of New Orleans 2. Lightning 1. Sinners Like Me And there you have it. How did I do? Chances are you don’t agree with my list, and chances are that as soon as I post this I won’t agree with my list either. But one thing’s for sure: When it comes to other mainstream country artists, nobody has a catalog that can hold a candle to Eric Church’s.The post Ranking Every Eric Church Song That He’s Ever Released first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
