Great choices! I have to say I am with most everyone else. My list would change on a daily basis…even based on my mood. Because we all know that HF isn’t just an auditory experience, they are a full body, mind, soul, spirit, and emotion experience. 🎼👏👍🥰
This is mine so far this week Tied for 5th - End of the Road - Mayday - Moonshine - Do You Hear What I Hear } I could go on 4th Place - Man of Constant Sorrow 3rd -Little Red Riding Hood 2nd - When a Man Loves a Woman #1 - (So Love this Right now - The New) Stand By Me Not video yet - Austin's Dawghouse puts me in the best mood with chuckles. Enjoyed your choices very much
I would have gladly listened to your top 25 with this group!😅 My top 5 today: 5. Do You Hear What I Hear 4. Ring of Fire 3. Seven Bridges Road 2. Listen To The Music 1. Mayday
This is really hard to pick as Home Free do so many great songs. But if I had to choose my top 5 are "Man Of Constant Sorrow", "In The Blood", "Take Me Home Country Roads", "How Great Thou Art" & "Mayday".
Great list! I’m very happy to see an original being your #1! There are so many to choose from.. 1. Do You Hear What I Hear: both the arrangement and execution! 2. How Great Thou Art: heavenly! 3. Dreamer (could as well be Catch Me If You can, but leaning towards the dreamy one more) 4. Helplessly Hoping and Can’t Outrun You are tied.. 5. Man of Constant Sorrow is too good! Honorable mention: Mayday. Honorable mention #2 Stargazer trilogy.
that was so much fun! Thank you. As many of the Home Fries have been saying, my top 5 changes, depending on my mood of the day, but I listen to Home Free everyday. I would have to say overall my first choice is Brother; number 2 is Mary Did You Know; number 3 is Mayday; number 4 is Helplessly Hoping; and number five is What's Left of my Heart. That last song touches me deeply for personal reason that my husband understands. Thanks for a fun trip. Listening to all these songs never get old. Have a great day!
Thank you for doing this. You're my favorite reactor. My favorites are whatever they are singing at the time. This band has gotten me through so much through the pandemic years until now ❤😂😢
My top five changes with my mood. There are two which are always in there. The first is How Great Thou Art (I saw the video while I was recovering from a car accident). The other is Auld Lang Syne. Both of these have wonderful 5 part harmonies.
Catch Me If You Can is such an underrated song, and it regularly gets into my top Home Free songs. Nice picks - don't think I could ever limit myself to a top 5!
Fantastic choices! I just tried to list my top 5, and gave up when my list topped 15! Sorry, I just can't do it. So instead, here is my top 5 Christmas songs at the moment: 1 Do You Hear What I Hear? 2 What Child is This 3 Joy to the World 4 Mary, Did you Know 5 Cold Hard Cash
My top five ...sooo hard but i'll go with 1- Catch me if you can 2- Woman Amen/Female 3- Lonely Girl's World 4- Seven Bridges road 5- So long Dixie With "I've seen" "It look Good" "Dive Bar Saint" "Yours" "Undivided" "Mama rocks me/Song of the south" ....i can go on and on and on and on .....so i'm going to stop here. 🥰🥰🥰
Love this idea!! Actually I'm kinda stunned that "Horses" didn't make your list. My list: 5. "Meet In The Middle" - a Diamond Rio cover, my username, go figure. 😅 4. "Elvira" - like you , the first song I ever heard from them. 3. "9-5 LIVE" - the beatboxing breakdown of course. 2. "My Church, LIVE" - Tim, sing them some low notes. 1. "How Great Thou Art" - the song that made me a Home Fry.
Man, I can't say favorite Top 5...but I listen to them everyday. My playlist is huge! I love you putting this together for yourself and us! #HomeFree #PatrolNation❤❤❤❤❤
YES! Do you know how many times I watch your reaction to 'Catch Me If You Can'??? Too many to count😂 That song and 'Cover Me Up' are my number ones. All their other songs are number two songs😉
WOW!You picked two of my favorites, but one is not in my top 5, but close. My top 5 are: #5 Seven Bridges Road (love the Eagles) Home Free did an really great cover #4 Finally Free (it’s my go to pick-me-up song and one that will just pop in my head from time to time) #3 Helplessly Hoping (It’s so hauntingly beautiful) #2 One Man Band (my top fav feel good song), and #` is My Church (it’s the very first song from Home Free that really hit home. I absolutely love listening to music in my car and never go anywhere without listening to music there). My honorable mention is their original from Dive Bar Saints: it’s “Dreamer” (another that really hit home. Those harmonies and Rob’s lead was gorgeous). My top 5 change here and there at times. I love your choice of “Catch Me If You Can” is in my top 15ish. It has such a different sound for them. It gives me Mumford and Sons vibe and I love it!
Thanks for putting this together. Frankly a top 25 would be hard for me!😅 Definitely would have Helplessly Hoping near the top. It’s truly masterful harmonizing!
I started out telling everyone that I didn’t like country music then I ran into Home Free. My top five number one - Man of Consent Sorrow Number two - Go Rest High on that Mountain Number three - Helplessly Hoping Number four - In the Blood Number five - Mary did you know? But the list changes with my mood and what is happening in my life. This group is constantly coming up with more “favorites “. Thanks for your list.
Loved this.good choices. I think mine would be different, but like you said everyone's will be. But honestly you are my favorite reactor to watch, you give such great comments, and you really appreciate the boys
That was so much fun. My number one and two are pretty solid, but after that things get a little fluid. Number one is Do You Hear What I Hear. It rocketed to the top of my list the first time I heard it and has stayed there since. Listen to it every day. Fabulous arrangement. Fabulous execution. Number two got replaced very recently with the new version of Stand By Me. It's weird, but neither of these songs appeal to me as songs. Must be that Home Free magic. For today, #3 would be Playin' With Fire. Number 4 would be I Can't Outrun You. And number 5 would be Helplessly Hoping. Tomorrow? Who knows.
You did a great job. You have my greatest admiration for being to narrow down HF favs to 5, even if the list changes. I start and end my day with Home Free, they'll never know how many lives they've saved LOL. Loved the show, thank you for all the joy you bring us every time you give us a reaction.
Great idea Lyle! Great list! Boy there are too many good ones. I love Helplessly Hoping. My list would be a little different but that’s ok. Love your list! Love Home Free. 🥰😍
Holy Snapping Duck Crap that was a good list 1: Dive Bar Saints 2: Mayday 3: I Can't Outrun You 4: Yours 5: Man of Constant Sorrow/Colder Weather No particular order.
1. Helplessly Hoping because it is perfection and never fails to gives me goose bumps. After that I can't decide because they are all so good. When a man loves a woman, Listen to the music, Life is a Highway, Hillbilly bone, Brothers in arms, Down in the Boondocks/Fishin in the dark, etc etc etc etc forever
Totaly agree with you with "Catch me if you can", i fell in love hard with this one, and with the Dive Bar Saint album in general. Great choices ! "Women Amen/Female" 'd be in my top five too 😁. #HomeFree forever 🎉🎉❤️❤️🍟🍟
#1. In The Blood it will be there forever They saved my life with that song 2-5 are fluid and change with my mood and what I need to hear Snapback is in there Catch me If you Can Stand by Me So Long Dixie If you ask me tomorrow there will be some changes I can't really chose it's like Sophie's Choice for me to try
I love Home Free, and my favourite song is the one I'm listening to a any given time. Just wondering if I'm the only one who noticed Tim off to the side eating the "ham sammich" in Butts Remix? If anyone wants to hear an amazing 'nomonica' performance from Adam, listen to "Working for a living.
You're great Patrol! These guys speak to me too. And your comment about listening to Colder Weather everyday and STILL being affected by it. 💯💯💯 Merry Christmas and Happy 2024!
1. Elvira 2. Man of Constant Sorrow 3. Brothers in Arms 4. Mayday 5. Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer (great for crazy days) Stargazer lily is really sweet
Great list! About Butts...it took me forever to catch Tim's head bangin' at the beginning of Fat Bottom Girls. And Adam changes bandanas for each song.
i feel like your 2 thru 5 is really good , the one song that hooked me on HF was (seven briges road ). I have to say my #1 is last song i heard them sing.
Good list, I don't know that I could pick only 5! Let's see, Man of Constant Sorrow, Mayday, Listen to the Music, Travelin' Soldier and Helplessly Hoping, oh, can't forget Do You Hear What I Hear!
A wonderful idea for a video! I've thought of this many times since I discovered Home Free 15 months ago. I saw them live on their tour of UK. You chose a wonderful set of songs ... and actually got one of my Top 5! :) Home Free are really the only a capella group that I listen to. I just love all the different members. Voiceplay are ok now and again, but Pentatonix just leave me cold. Pretty sounds but soulless. Anyway my Top 5 are ... 5. Do You Hear What I Hear ... one from before Chance joined and a classic. What an arrangement and performance from Adam Rupp! Take a bow sir! Everyone shone when singing. Chris Rupp, who done so much for the group behind the scenes, even got a turn at lead vocal, which was great to see! I think of this song as their prog rock performance as it is so complicated and so varied. It is amazing and really could have been higher in my list! 4. Brothers In Arms ... just wow from start to finish, taking you on a roller coast of emotions. Tim and Chance's lead vocals are wonderful but the 5 part harmony vocals are spinechilling! The song is in my Top 5 of Dire Straits songs, but this is maybe even more poignant and powerful, even without Marc Knopfler's haunting guitar. 3. When A Man Loves A Woman ... could this be when a man loves .. or maybe idolises ... Austin!? What a singer! He has quickly become one of my all time favourite singers! I've always loved the song, but when I've played Percy Sledge's version since, thought ... nah, not as good as Austin and the boys backing him up! 2. Man Of Constant Sorrow ... I think the second song from Home Free that I heard and I was mesmerized! What a great song, what amazing singing and beat boxing. I didn't even know what beatboxing was then! I was soon going to find out! Around this time I delved into the reactionists to discover who the band were and find out more about the songs and the group itself. I just had to jump down that rabbit hole! 1. How Great Thou Art ... the very first song of Home Free that I heard. I was looking for a good version of this song, which I've always loved, on UA-cam, one night and boy, did I find one! I had no idea who they were but loved it! I thought maybe that they were a Christian band? Anyway, I must have played it on repeat a dozen or more times. Even then, the singer I later learnt was Austin, grabbed my attention, with how he looked and how he sounded and I was hooked! Of course I didn't realise at the time, that this song featured an extremely rare Adam Rupp vocal. I really wish he would do more! Still a song I love listening to! Outside my Top 5, any of 25 could be bubbling under, so I won't mention any, but you all know the best ones ... all of them!
Thanks for sharing!!! So hard to choose but for now 1 the remake of God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood 2. Man of constant sorrow 3 I think the title is Remember this 4. Understand 5. A tie for Grandma/Grandma got ran over byva reindeer and Warmest winters
LOL! I began with a Top five years ago, and Colder Weather was in my top five back then, but it got harder so I changed it to my Top Ten, then it was my Top Twenty and now it is my Top Twenty Five. There are just too many outstanding videos by HF and of course my Top Five does not include any of yours, but are still in my Top Twenty Five. Great job Lyle! It was fun to see your favorites.
Well, we know Qofy's #1 is Hillbilly Bone because he wouldn't let it go that they didn't do it at the concert he went to. 😊 i can tell you, Lyle, that you will always be one of my favorite HF reactors (even if you have switched to VP Fridays). I know, you ran out of HF content to do. i know these are always near my top. Other's come and go: - In The Blood - What We Ain't Got - Some Girls Do - Dreamer. each version for different reasons - DYHWIH (Ice Castle) i agreed e with others that there are too many great ones to decide. Always a great day when Lyle comes up with HF content!
I was listening to an interview with i believe Austin where he was asked how they decide who takes the lead on the different songs and usually everyone unanimously agrees on who should sing lead that particular song but this one they couldn't decide so everyone went home or wherever and recorded their version, then they got back together a few days later and played their respective versions. I think he said that Rob went first, they didn't even play the others, they all instantly said it was Robs! I think it was a great choice cuz he nailed it. As far as having a favorites list, it's not possible, its like choosing which one of your kids is your favorite!
Great list. Like a lot here I find your reviews the best I see! HF is my absolute favorite group. My husband says I am obsessed!! (Maybe.) Thanks for doing this! 😀 Right now I am listening to their Christmas music! And my list changes from day to day! LOL Some of us just can't help it. I have to get my dose of Home Free everyday!
Great list, and impressive you could narrow it down to five! I honestly gave up trying to make a Top 5 (or even 10) list. It can change depending on my mood, the day, etc. The only one I can say with certainty is that Do You Hear What I Hear is my #1 Christmas carol by HF. It might be easier to have a bottom five for me! I agree that Rob was fantastic in Catch Me If You Can.
Found your top 5 interesting; may not agree with me, but my top 5, 5-1 are:Man of Constant Sorrow, Go Rest High on that Mountain; Butts Remix, Helplessly Hoping & Brothers in Arms with Do You Hear What I Hear as Honorable Mention; hope you & your family have a safe & enjoyable holiday season; take care, many hugs & peace. ❤️❤️🥰🥰🤗🤗☮️☮️
I don't know how you managed to get it down to 5. I absolutely love "Catch Me if You Can". I just said man I love that song right before you said you love that song.
Can you truly pick just five me I think I would have more then one top five list for this group based on regular songs vs their Christmas songs it could just be me.
I loved your choices except for the number one. All of the others are favorites of mine. I don’t know if I could possibly choose only five. I’ll think about it and maybe come back tomorrow with my list.
Top 5?! Picking a top 20 would be easier. And my favorites change. But I tried, and this is what I came up with: 5. Remember This, 4. Dreamer, 3. Give Me A Sign, 2. Do You Hear What I Hear, 1. How Great Thou Art
I love your list of top 5, I’ve followed these Gents since the Sing-Off. lovelove them. My list would be The Sea Shanty Medley, Do you hear what I hear, My Church, Try Everything and Meet in the Middle.. but like everyone else, i enjoy each song they put out very much.. thank you❤️
Lyle, I don't know if you've ever watched this video sent in by a fan who attended one of their concerts, but it's so hilarious. You can probably find it by searching "Colder Memory Lapse - What Were They Thinking". Austin forgets the lyrics and it just gets funnier from there. So funny!
He has watched it in a live stream. Heres the link and there should be a timestamp in the comments that will take you right to it. ua-cam.com/video/CxuraRwLbsg/v-deo.html
Cant do it! I could easier share my least favorites , but even they are among my favorites across all the performers I listen to. I would have to include HOW GREAT THOU ART and BUTTS MEDLEY, but the rest would just be that which I was listening to at the moment.
I like very much your top 5 ❤ 🇧🇷 Mine is 5-) Auld Lang Syne; 4-) Man of Constant Sorrow; 3-) Helplessy Hoping; 2-) Stand by me; 1-) Go Rest High On The Montain (Church Sessions);
It’s the Christmas season, how about doing your top 5 Home Free Christmas songs! “Do You Hear What I Hear” and “Mary Did You Know” are my two favorites!
@staceysmith8173 Has Lyle done Joy To The World sung at Hosanna Church Dec 2013? Not a great recording, but it's quite an unusual version with Rob as lead and well worth reacting to. (It was performed the night before The Sing-Off Finale.)
Loved this.!! my top 4 changes daily but my #1 has always been "How Great Thou Art" for many reasons. Thank you for sharing your top 5, well 5 plus lol
Here's some songs that would rate on some what of lists I would make For regular songs 5. butts remix 4. working for a living 3. Skull and bones the ubisoft live performance 2. Champagne taste on a beer budget 1. It's a tie with Hillbilly bone and homefree brother Christmas top five Would be 5. Colder weather 4. cold hard cash 3. Oh holynight 2. Do you hear what I hear 1. GrandMa Ran over by a reindeer
Enjoyed this very much. Good choices. Mine would be: #1 - How Great Thou Art. It moved me when I first heard it and I always use it to introduce new people to Home Free; #2 - Beautiful Star of Bethlehem ; #3 - Man of Constant Sorrow; #4 - Make You Feel My Love; and #5 - Down to The Honky Tonk. Like you - they change, but these usually end up in my top five in some order or another. Great fun, this one. Thanks!
My fav 5: Never Gonna Give You Up, In the Blood, Brother, Sea Shanty Medley, Everybody Walking this Land, Moonshine, Catch Me If You Can, and Brothers in Arms. Huh, there's eight, you say? Shhhh.
Great picks. With Home Free you can't go wrong. However I was surprised that Horses didn't make your list. You played it three times. I would have to take some time to pick out my top five favorites. So many great covers and originals to chose from.
Just 5....tough....OK Lyle, my top 5... (5) When you walk in (4) Die A Happy Man (3) Heaven (2) I can't outrun you (1) I want crazy....Hon. mention goes to 3 songs Helplessly Hoping, Dive Bar Saints & God Bless the USA featuring Lee Greenwood & the US Air Force Singing Sargents
I don't know how you ever picked 5 - I've never heard a song of theirs that I didn't enjoy. Given that they have something over 200 videos (not including the fancam live ones, their individual ones and the ones they've individually performed with others) - there's just no way I could choose!
Great choices. Catch Me if You Can is a great original. Since everyone else is listing their top 5…here are mine: 1. Listen to the Music 2. Woman Amen/ Female 3. Understand (my favorite original) 4. Try Everything 5. Amazed I always look for songs where Adam is stealing the show. Thanks for the post.
top song 5 recommended reactions : 1.BURGERKILL - UNDER THE SCARS 2.THREAT SIGNAL - LOST 3.OBSCURA - WHEN STARS COLLIDE 4.B.F.M.V - DONT NEED YOU 5.LAMB OF GOD - RESSURECTION MAN
Can't possibly choose, but another underrated song, God Bless the Broken Road, would have to be in the top 5. It was the second song of the band that I ever heard and it's stunningly beautiful. Moonshine is another underrated one, in a fabulous arrangement that completely transforms the original and shows off Adam Chance in particular. The perfect example of an upgrade. And there are some where the video is what particularly appeals, like Brother and Workin' for a Living.
your choices are great! like most of the comments, my choices vary from day to day, week to week, but at this moment I would have to list my favourites as 1. Colder Weather; 2. How Great Thou Art; 3.Die A Happy Man; 4. Leave this Town; 5. O Holy Night (not just because of the time of year it is right now, but all year round)
I can’t! I’ve typed in song after song to only hear myself saying, “But wait! What about _______?” I even tried to come up with a top five for different categories and can’t do it!
Great list, Lyle! The homework assignment is so hard but I loved seeing everyone else's Top 5 (or so) in the comments below! My fluctuate depending on the day, etc. but for today my lists are as follows - so essentially this is my Top 20! ☺ Top 5 Covers: 1. Take Me Home Country Roads 2. Stand By Me (the new one) 3. I Can't Outrun You 4. How Great Thou Art 5. Brother Honourable Mentions: Castle on the Hill, Die a Happy Man, Heaven, Yours Top 5 Originals: 1. Catch Me If You Can* 2. Dive Bar Saints* 3. Leave This Town* 4. Might As Well Be Me 5. Dreamer, LIVE at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill - I love Tim's mid-song intro! *Anyone else see the thread between these 3? 🤔 Top 5 Collabs: 1. The Horses feat. Travis Collins and Amy Sheppard 2. God Bless the USA feat. Lee Greenwood and the USAF Singing Sergeants 3. Children, Go Where I Send Thee feat. Kenny Rogers 4. One Voice feat. Billy Gilman 5. Meant to Be feat. Lisa Cimorelli Honourable Mention: Don't Laugh at Me feat. Mark Wills Top 5 Christmas: 1. What Child Is This (Chris Rupp feat. Home Free) 2. Christmas in L.A. 3. What Christmas Means to Me 4. Mary, Did You Know 5. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Great choices! I have to say I am with most everyone else. My list would change on a daily basis…even based on my mood. Because we all know that HF isn’t just an auditory experience, they are a full body, mind, soul, spirit, and emotion experience. 🎼👏👍🥰
That’s the truth they are definitely more than auditory. Mine changes all time 😊
This is mine so far this week Tied for 5th - End of the Road - Mayday - Moonshine - Do You Hear What I Hear } I could go on
4th Place - Man of Constant Sorrow
3rd -Little Red Riding Hood
2nd - When a Man Loves a Woman
#1 - (So Love this Right now - The New) Stand By Me
Not video yet - Austin's Dawghouse puts me in the best mood with chuckles.
Enjoyed your choices very much
Agree with your #1 100%!!!!! I have Catch me if you can playing on repeat SO often! LOVE IT!!!!!
I would have gladly listened to your top 25 with this group!😅 My top 5 today: 5. Do You Hear What I Hear 4. Ring of Fire 3. Seven Bridges Road 2. Listen To The Music 1. Mayday
This is really hard to pick as Home Free do so many great songs. But if I had to choose my top 5 are "Man Of Constant Sorrow", "In The Blood", "Take Me Home Country Roads", "How Great Thou Art" & "Mayday".
Great list! I’m very happy to see an original being your #1!
There are so many to choose from..
1. Do You Hear What I Hear: both the arrangement and execution!
2. How Great Thou Art: heavenly!
3. Dreamer (could as well be Catch Me If You can, but leaning towards the dreamy one more)
4. Helplessly Hoping and Can’t Outrun You are tied..
5. Man of Constant Sorrow is too good!
Honorable mention: Mayday.
Honorable mention #2 Stargazer trilogy.
NOOOOOOO not a RickRoll 🤣
Love your top5. Spot on. But I do miss my top3: Brothers in arms, Mary did you know and Do you hear what I hear. Hugs
My favorite part is the second song when they point to the sandwich and the next scene they are all looking tough and Tim is eating the sandwich!!!!❤
that was so much fun! Thank you. As many of the Home Fries have been saying, my top 5 changes, depending on my mood of the day, but I listen to Home Free everyday. I would have to say overall my first choice is Brother; number 2 is Mary Did You Know; number 3 is Mayday; number 4 is Helplessly Hoping; and number five is What's Left of my Heart. That last song touches me deeply for personal reason that my husband understands. Thanks for a fun trip. Listening to all these songs never get old. Have a great day!
# 1 DEFINITELY DESERVES TO BE #1
Thank you for doing this. You're my favorite reactor. My favorites are whatever they are singing at the time. This band has gotten me through so much through the pandemic years until now ❤😂😢
My top five changes with my mood. There are two which are always in there. The first is How Great Thou Art (I saw the video while I was recovering from a car accident). The other is Auld Lang Syne. Both of these have wonderful 5 part harmonies.
Catch Me If You Can is such an underrated song, and it regularly gets into my top Home Free songs. Nice picks - don't think I could ever limit myself to a top 5!
Fantastic choices! I just tried to list my top 5, and gave up when my list topped 15! Sorry, I just can't do it. So instead, here is my top 5 Christmas songs at the moment:
1 Do You Hear What I Hear?
2 What Child is This
3 Joy to the World
4 Mary, Did you Know
5 Cold Hard Cash
My top five ...sooo hard but i'll go with
1- Catch me if you can 2- Woman Amen/Female

5- So long Dixie
With "I've seen" "It look Good" "Dive Bar Saint" "Yours" "Undivided" "Mama rocks me/Song of the south" ....i can go on and on and on and on .....so i'm going to stop here. 🥰🥰🥰
Love this idea!! Actually I'm kinda stunned that "Horses" didn't make your list.
My list:
5. "Meet In The Middle" - a Diamond Rio cover, my username, go figure. 😅
4. "Elvira" - like you , the first song I ever heard from them.
3. "9-5 LIVE" - the beatboxing breakdown of course.
2. "My Church, LIVE" - Tim, sing them some low notes.
1. "How Great Thou Art" - the song that made me a Home Fry.
Man, I can't say favorite Top 5...but I listen to them everyday. My playlist is huge! I love you putting this together for yourself and us! #HomeFree #PatrolNation❤❤❤❤❤
Helplessly Hoping, Colder Weather, Mayday, Snow Globe would be on my list also.
YES! Do you know how many times I watch your reaction to 'Catch Me If You Can'??? Too many to count😂 That song and 'Cover Me Up' are my number ones. All their other songs are number two songs😉

There are so many good songs and videos that I can't really rank them. Thanks for sharing you favorites.
Great idea Lyle! Great list! Boy there are too many good ones. I love Helplessly Hoping. My list would be a little different but that’s ok. Love your list! Love Home Free. 🥰😍
Holy Snapping Duck Crap that was a good list
1: Dive Bar Saints
2: Mayday
3: I Can't Outrun You
4: Yours
5: Man of Constant Sorrow/Colder Weather
No particular order.
😂😂
My favorite changes day by day and which one I heard last! What a privilege to have these guys in my life, such enjoyment and emotion rides!
Great top 5 . Honestly my favorites change daily. I feel like every new song they put out is my favorite.❤
My number 1 is always Take Me Home Country Roads. The others change, but Folsom Prison Blues is always in the mix.
1. Helplessly Hoping because it is perfection and never fails to gives me goose bumps. After that I can't decide because they are all so good. When a man loves a woman, Listen to the music, Life is a Highway, Hillbilly bone, Brothers in arms, Down in the Boondocks/Fishin in the dark, etc etc etc etc forever
There's no way I could pick a top 5 Home Free songs. They're all too good.
Totaly agree with you with "Catch me if you can", i fell in love hard with this one, and with the Dive Bar Saint album in general. Great choices ! "Women Amen/Female" 'd be in my top five too 😁.
#HomeFree forever 🎉🎉❤️❤️🍟🍟
#1. In The Blood it will be there forever They saved my life with that song
2-5 are fluid and change with my mood and what I need to hear
Snapback is in there
Catch me If you Can
Stand by Me
So Long Dixie
If you ask me tomorrow there will be some changes
I can't really chose it's like Sophie's Choice for me to try
I love Home Free, and my favourite song is the one I'm listening to a any given time. Just wondering if I'm the only one who noticed Tim off to the side eating the "ham sammich" in Butts Remix? If anyone wants to hear an amazing 'nomonica' performance from Adam, listen to "Working for a living.
1 - Do you hear what I hear
2 - Man of Constant Sorrow
3 - Hillbilly Bone
4 - Try Everything
5 - Butts Medley
Great time listening with you!
You're great Patrol! These guys speak to me too. And your comment about listening to Colder Weather everyday and STILL being affected by it.
💯💯💯
Merry Christmas and Happy 2024!
So hard to narrow it down to only 5! Really love Mayday, and of course oh Brother, and actually can’t think of one song they’ve done I don’t like😂!
Got to see them in concert earlier this week...one of the best concerts I have been too. I love these "boys"
You picked quite a few of my faves... now.. me? I couldn't even agree on a top 10...they are just too good!!!!
1. Elvira 2. Man of Constant Sorrow 3. Brothers in Arms 4. Mayday 5. Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer (great for crazy days) Stargazer lily is really sweet
Thanks for putting this list together Lyle.
I could never pick! Like others, it depends on mood and what I’m doing in the moment. That being said this is a solid list, excellent choices Lyle!
Have you listened to Home Free's version of Austin's "Hers Ain't Mine"? There are some live recordings during the Europe Tour.
Great list!
About Butts...it took me forever to catch Tim's head bangin' at the beginning of Fat Bottom Girls. And Adam changes bandanas for each song.
I didn't catch Tim until about the 30th viewing - and only because somebody else mentioned it. Just too much going on in that one.
Number 1 for me as well, I've watched it so many times
i feel like your 2 thru 5 is really good , the one song that hooked me on HF was (seven briges road ). I have to say my #1 is last song i heard them sing.
Good list, I don't know that I could pick only 5! Let's see, Man of Constant Sorrow, Mayday, Listen to the Music, Travelin' Soldier and Helplessly Hoping, oh, can't forget Do You Hear What I Hear!
A wonderful idea for a video! I've thought of this many times since I discovered Home Free 15 months ago. I saw them live on their tour of UK. You chose a wonderful set of songs ... and actually got one of my Top 5! :) Home Free are really the only a capella group that I listen to. I just love all the different members. Voiceplay are ok now and again, but Pentatonix just leave me cold. Pretty sounds but soulless.
Anyway my Top 5 are ...
5. Do You Hear What I Hear ... one from before Chance joined and a classic. What an arrangement and performance from Adam Rupp! Take a bow sir! Everyone shone when singing. Chris Rupp, who done so much for the group behind the scenes, even got a turn at lead vocal, which was great to see! I think of this song as their prog rock performance as it is so complicated and so varied. It is amazing and really could have been higher in my list!
4. Brothers In Arms ... just wow from start to finish, taking you on a roller coast of emotions. Tim and Chance's lead vocals are wonderful but the 5 part harmony vocals are spinechilling! The song is in my Top 5 of Dire Straits songs, but this is maybe even more poignant and powerful, even without Marc Knopfler's haunting guitar.
3. When A Man Loves A Woman ... could this be when a man loves .. or maybe idolises ... Austin!? What a singer! He has quickly become one of my all time favourite singers! I've always loved the song, but when I've played Percy Sledge's version since, thought ... nah, not as good as Austin and the boys backing him up!
2. Man Of Constant Sorrow ... I think the second song from Home Free that I heard and I was mesmerized! What a great song, what amazing singing and beat boxing. I didn't even know what beatboxing was then! I was soon going to find out! Around this time I delved into the reactionists to discover who the band were and find out more about the songs and the group itself. I just had to jump down that rabbit hole!
1. How Great Thou Art ... the very first song of Home Free that I heard. I was looking for a good version of this song, which I've always loved, on UA-cam, one night and boy, did I find one! I had no idea who they were but loved it! I thought maybe that they were a Christian band? Anyway, I must have played it on repeat a dozen or more times. Even then, the singer I later learnt was Austin, grabbed my attention, with how he looked and how he sounded and I was hooked! Of course I didn't realise at the time, that this song featured an extremely rare Adam Rupp vocal. I really wish he would do more! Still a song I love listening to!
Outside my Top 5, any of 25 could be bubbling under, so I won't mention any, but you all know the best ones ... all of them!
1st Dreamer (with no video) is my favorite. Classic category already. Catch Me if You Can is the best change-of-pace song for me.
Thanks for sharing!!!
So hard to choose but for now
1 the remake of God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood
2. Man of constant sorrow
3 I think the title is Remember this
4. Understand
5. A tie for Grandma/Grandma got ran over byva reindeer and Warmest winters
Colder Weather is stunning
LOL! I began with a Top five years ago, and Colder Weather was in my top five back then, but it got harder so I changed it to my Top Ten, then it was my Top Twenty and now it is my Top Twenty Five. There are just too many outstanding videos by HF and of course my Top Five does not include any of yours, but are still in my Top Twenty Five. Great job Lyle! It was fun to see your favorites.
Well, we know Qofy's #1 is Hillbilly Bone because he wouldn't let it go that they didn't do it at the concert he went to. 😊
i can tell you, Lyle, that you will always be one of my favorite HF reactors (even if you have switched to VP Fridays). I know, you ran out of HF content to do.
i know these are always near my top. Other's come and go:
- In The Blood
- What We Ain't Got
- Some Girls Do
- Dreamer. each version for different reasons
- DYHWIH (Ice Castle)
i agreed e with others that there are too many great ones to decide.
Always a great day when Lyle comes up with HF content!
I was listening to an interview with i believe Austin where he was asked how they decide who takes the lead on the different songs and usually everyone unanimously agrees on who should sing lead that particular song but this one they couldn't decide so everyone went home or wherever and recorded their version, then they got back together a few days later and played their respective versions. I think he said that Rob went first, they didn't even play the others, they all instantly said it was Robs! I think it was a great choice cuz he nailed it. As far as having a favorites list, it's not possible, its like choosing which one of your kids is your favorite!
How much fun was that!!! What a great idea. Great choices. Thank you so much for that, it was like an early Christmas.
Great list. Like a lot here I find your reviews the best I see! HF is my absolute favorite group. My husband says I am obsessed!! (Maybe.) Thanks for doing this! 😀 Right now I am listening to their Christmas music! And my list changes from day to day! LOL Some of us just can't help it. I have to get my dose of Home Free everyday!
Great list, and impressive you could narrow it down to five! I honestly gave up trying to make a Top 5 (or even 10) list. It can change depending on my mood, the day, etc. The only one I can say with certainty is that Do You Hear What I Hear is my #1 Christmas carol by HF. It might be easier to have a bottom five for me! I agree that Rob was fantastic in Catch Me If You Can.
Wow top 5! I would have a hard time narrowing down to a top 10! Your choices are stunning and you and I overlap a few times.
Found your top 5 interesting; may not agree with me, but my top 5, 5-1 are:Man of Constant Sorrow, Go Rest High on that Mountain; Butts Remix, Helplessly Hoping & Brothers in Arms with Do You Hear What I Hear as Honorable Mention; hope you & your family have a safe & enjoyable holiday season; take care, many hugs & peace. ❤️❤️🥰🥰🤗🤗☮️☮️
I don't know how you managed to get it down to 5. I absolutely love "Catch Me if You Can". I just said man I love that song right before you said you love that song.
Can you truly pick just five me I think I would have more then one top five list for this group based on regular songs vs their Christmas songs it could just be me.
Number one for me is God bless the usa with Lee Greenwood. Listen to the music, Brothers in arms, Mayday, and Do you hear what i hear.
I loved your choices except for the number one. All of the others are favorites of mine. I don’t know if I could possibly choose only five. I’ll think about it and maybe come back tomorrow with my list.
LOL! My favorite rick rollers!!!
Top 5?! Picking a top 20 would be easier. And my favorites change. But I tried, and this is what I came up with: 5. Remember This, 4. Dreamer, 3. Give Me A Sign, 2. Do You Hear What I Hear, 1. How Great Thou Art
I love your list of top 5, I’ve followed these Gents since the Sing-Off. lovelove them.
My list would be The Sea Shanty Medley, Do you hear what I hear, My Church, Try Everything and Meet in the Middle.. but like everyone else, i enjoy each song they put out very much.. thank you❤️
Lyle, I don't know if you've ever watched this video sent in by a fan who attended one of their concerts, but it's so hilarious. You can probably find it by searching "Colder Memory Lapse - What Were They Thinking". Austin forgets the lyrics and it just gets funnier from there. So funny!
He has watched it in a live stream. Heres the link and there should be a timestamp in the comments that will take you right to it.
ua-cam.com/video/CxuraRwLbsg/v-deo.html
Cant do it! I could easier share my least favorites , but even they are among my favorites across all the performers I listen to. I would have to include HOW GREAT THOU ART and BUTTS MEDLEY, but the rest would just be that which I was listening to at the moment.
What an amazing idea Lyle. Absolutely loved this and the songs. Thank you
I’ve never heard ‘Catch me if you can’ but it really highlights Rob’s voice great list, now you need to do the same for PTX and Voice Play hehe
I like very much your top 5 ❤ 🇧🇷
Mine is 5-) Auld Lang Syne;
4-) Man of Constant Sorrow; 3-) Helplessy Hoping; 2-) Stand by me; 1-) Go Rest High On The Montain (Church Sessions);
It’s the Christmas season, how about doing your top 5 Home Free Christmas songs! “Do You Hear What I Hear” and “Mary Did You Know” are my two favorites!
He hasnt heard all of their Christmas songs. I'm working on that tho. Stay tuned 😊
@staceysmith8173 Has Lyle done Joy To The World sung at Hosanna Church Dec 2013? Not a great recording, but it's quite an unusual version with Rob as lead and well worth reacting to. (It was performed the night before The Sing-Off Finale.)
@brendasorenson6186 he hasn't but I do have it on the list. I'll see what he can get done this Christmas season. 🙂
@@staceysmith8173 Thanks! And thanks for keeping Lyle on track!
@brendasorenson6186 I try 🤣🤣
I love dreamer, playing with fire, bless the broken road, listen to the music,
Loved this.!! my top 4 changes daily but my #1 has always been "How Great Thou Art" for many reasons. Thank you for sharing your top 5, well 5 plus lol
Here's some songs that would rate on some what of lists I would make
For regular songs
5. butts remix
4. working for a living
3. Skull and bones the ubisoft live performance
2. Champagne taste on a beer budget
1. It's a tie with Hillbilly bone and homefree brother

4. cold hard cash
3. Oh holynight
2. Do you hear what I hear
1. GrandMa Ran over by a reindeer
Kyle great job! So much fun to watch!!
Enjoyed this very much. Good choices. Mine would be: #1 - How Great Thou Art. It moved me when I first heard it and I always use it to introduce new people to Home Free; #2 - Beautiful Star of Bethlehem ; #3 - Man of Constant Sorrow; #4 - Make You Feel My Love; and #5 - Down to The Honky Tonk. Like you - they change, but these usually end up in my top five in some order or another. Great fun, this one. Thanks!
My fav 5: Never Gonna Give You Up, In the Blood, Brother, Sea Shanty Medley, Everybody Walking this Land, Moonshine, Catch Me If You Can, and Brothers in Arms.
Huh, there's eight, you say? Shhhh.
Totally enjoyed this top 5.
Great picks. With Home Free you can't go wrong. However I was surprised that Horses didn't make your list. You played it three times. I would have to take some time to pick out my top five favorites. So many great covers and originals to chose from.
I LIKE SNOW GLOBE, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, WORKIN FOR A LIVIN, BROTHER, LISTEN TO THE MUSIC
Up to their tricks Lyle by Rickrolling us 😂😂😂
They have a new Christmas song release tomorrow called Christmas In LA
Just 5....tough....OK Lyle, my top 5... (5) When you walk in (4) Die A Happy Man (3) Heaven (2) I can't outrun you (1) I want crazy....Hon. mention goes to 3 songs Helplessly Hoping, Dive Bar Saints & God Bless the USA featuring Lee Greenwood & the US Air Force Singing Sargents
When You Walk In deserves so much more attention than it gets. Thanks for mentioning it.
@@kmwwrench beautiful song, wonderful video and it's an original....what's more to want
I don't know how you ever picked 5 - I've never heard a song of theirs that I didn't enjoy. Given that they have something over 200 videos (not including the fancam live ones, their individual ones and the ones they've individually performed with others) - there's just no way I could choose!
Great choices. Catch Me if You Can is a great original. Since everyone else is listing their top 5…here are mine: 1. Listen to the Music 2. Woman Amen/ Female 3. Understand (my favorite original) 4. Try Everything 5. Amazed I always look for songs where Adam is stealing the show. Thanks for the post.
Well, shoot. I left Listen to the Music off my list. How the heck did that happen? Guess I need an honorable mention, too.
top song 5 recommended reactions :
1.BURGERKILL - UNDER THE SCARS
2.THREAT SIGNAL - LOST
3.OBSCURA - WHEN STARS COLLIDE
4.B.F.M.V - DONT NEED YOU
5.LAMB OF GOD - RESSURECTION MAN
Can't possibly choose, but another underrated song, God Bless the Broken Road, would have to be in the top 5. It was the second song of the band that I ever heard and it's stunningly beautiful. Moonshine is another underrated one, in a fabulous arrangement that completely transforms the original and shows off Adam Chance in particular. The perfect example of an upgrade. And there are some where the video is what particularly appeals, like Brother and Workin' for a Living.
Too many to choose but if I had to pick
1- Brothers in Arms
2- Hopelessly Hoping
3- Seven Bridges Road
4- Folsom Prison blues
5- Hillbilly Bone
This was SO much fun! Thanks Lyle!
Nope, can’t do it. I won’t fold to the pressure🤣😂
You get it done...and Good Day
@@PatrolNation😂😂
@@PatrolNation 🤣🤣🤣
your choices are great! like most of the comments, my choices vary from day to day, week to week, but at this moment I would have to list my favourites as 1. Colder Weather; 2. How Great Thou Art; 3.Die A Happy Man; 4. Leave this Town; 5. O Holy Night (not just because of the time of year it is right now, but all year round)
Big Home Free fan but this is the first time I've heard "Catch Me if You Can" thanks.
It's my favourite, love this song.
In no particular order:
Dive Bar Saints
Blue Ain't Your Color
In the Blood
Life is a Highway
Cover Me Up
I can’t! I’ve typed in song after song to only hear myself saying, “But wait! What about _______?” I even tried to come up with a top five for different categories and can’t do it!
I agree, all of their songs are my favorites!
How Great Thou Art
Listen to the Music
Helplessly Hoping
Do You Hear What I Hear
