156: "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" vs. "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" (with Angela Collier!)

Did y'all see that Lilith Fair documentary on Hulu? We did, and we have thoughts about two of its biggest stars -- or at least, the two who will always be associated with Lilith Fair first and foremost. But who shall be the victor?

When did country music get so dumb?
