It is ironic how different people's tastes can be. With all due respect to you, I could disagree more. In my opinion, Save a Horse is the best country based rock song ever written (maybe with the exception being Free Bird). It flat out rocks. So what if it doesn't fit the genre. It rocks! Harmonic 'lone ranger' a cappella intro, thick bass, hard driving rhythm guitar, nice little banjo live over the top, hard rock lead guitar followed immediately by a fiddle lead, a hip hop break. How can you not love an arrangement like that?

I am a HUGE fan of writers who push the limits and that song has so many fresh and unique features and is as catchy as Heck.
