I'm a little bias toward the Dixie Chicks...
Top of the World (Dixie Chicks and Patty Griffin) Angels in Waiting (Tammy Cochran) Heartbreak Town (Dixie Chicks) Let Him Fly (Dixie Chicks) Godspeed i.e. Sweet Dreams (Dixie Chicks) My roomie listens to hella country though, seriously, if it's out there, it's on her computer, I used to hate country, but she plays it a lot, and I think I'm starting to get hicked out because it's growing on me, and I'm starting to download it... :rolleyes: |
Let's see...
Dixieland Delight- Alabama Laredo- Chris Cagle 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton (haha HEY this is a good song, shut up) ANYTHING by Tim McGraw Blue Clear Sky- George Strait |
Fancy- Reba McIntire
Shameless- Garth Brooks Something Like That- Tim McGraw Strawberry Wine- Deanna Carter Friends in Low Places- Garth Brooks |
ZTAngel-I LOVE your choices-Shameless is a FATASTIC version of this Billy Joel song.
When you've heard as may as I have over the years, it's impossile to make choices, yet my ALL TIME NUMBER ONE CHOICE- The Perfect Country-Western Song OR You Never Even Call Me By My Name. Best darn bar song ever! EDITED-David Allen Coe added a lot to te song and his rendition is GREAT! ".......Country music is, after all, populist music. The best country music is simple, and direct, and obvious, and honest. I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison And I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck She got run over by a damned old train...* American folk singer Steve Goodman wrote that almost 25 years ago as the affectionate jokey coda to a country song he’d finished, after someone complained that it was a good tune but it didn’t include any references to mom, prison, pickup trucks, trains or getting drunk." http://www.socan.ca/jsp/en/word_musi...an_country.jsp |
Top five recent songs:
Brad Paisley - Two People Fell in Love Matreca Berg - Back in the Saddle Pat Green - Carry On Toby Keith & Willie Nelson - Beer for my Horses Kenny Chesney - Young Top five classics: Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn - Country Bumpkin George Strait - Amarillo By Morning Hank Williams Jr. - Dinosaur Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire Willie Nelson - Bloody Mary Morning Honorable mentions: Dean Martin - Houston Charlie Daniels - Drinking My Baby Goodbye Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes |

call this, the 5 country songs I actually like from my very young days.
Behind Closed Doors - Charlie Rich Rose Garden - Lynn Anderson By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Glen Campbell Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash Crazy - Patsy Cline any country music from after 1985 or so, I pretty much detest. |
I, too, was raised on country. I don't listen to any of the new stuff, but have to admit that some older country songs are among my favorites. Waylon and Johnny kick the ass of anything out there today!
Top 5: "Luckenbach, Texas"-Waylon Jennings "Long Black Veil" (wayyyy before Dave did it)-Johnny Cash "Roll On Eighteen Wheeler"-Alabama "Elvira"-The Statler Bros. "Ode to Billy Joe"-Bobbie Gentry (my karaokee song :)) As far as newer stuff, I do LOVE "Next Step in Love" by Clay Walker and "Shameless" by Garth Brooks. |
We have a pretty decent country station in Chicago - US99. They're a little slow to play the new stuff, but have a great classic country oldies show on Sat. night (I think it's syndicated).
Anyhow, here's my list: New Stuff: 1) Standing Outside the Fire (Garth Brooks) 2) Travelin' Soldier (Dixie Chicks) 3) Young (Kenny Chesney) 4) Long Time Gone (Dixie Chicks) 5) Little Red Rodeo (Colin Ray) Older Stuff: 1) It Must Be Love (Don Williams) 2) When You Say Nothing At All (Keith Whitley) 3) Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash) 4) County Boy (Glenn Campbell) 5) Lesson in Leaving (Dottie West) |
'Friends In Low Places' Garth Brooks
'Just To See You Smile' Tim McGraw 'Tonight The Heartaches On Me' Dixie Chicks 'Just Don't Happen Twice' Kenny Chesney 'Boot Scoot Boogie' Brooks & Dunn |
5. "When You Say Nothing At All" Keith Whitley
4. "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma" I can't remember who sings it...Dan somebody and Shelly somebody 3. "I Will Always Love You" Dolly Parton 2. "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" Hank Williams 1. "You Ain't Woman Enough" Loretta Lynn Man...that was hard! There are so many great songs...if I could list a sixth one, I'd definitely put "Swingin'" by John Anderson! That was my favorite song when I was little. :) |
I was brought up on country music, and up until the 4th grade, I thought it was the only music on earth :p so my all-time favs are songs from the '80s when I was growing up...
* "Daddy's Hands" - Holly Dunn; super sweet song & always gets me to tear up :) * "Angels Among Us" - Alabama; same as above * "You Look so good in Love" - George Strait * "Don't it make my brown eyes blue" - Crystal Gayle; my older sister & I would sing this ALL the time when we were lil kids * "Forever and Ever, Amen" - Randy Travis |

I have a bootleg that has Willie & Family singing a tribute to Waylon Jennings "Will the Circle Be Unbroken"/"I'll Fly Away" that we played at my daddy's funeral and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. My fiance proposed to me with a Willie song! :) honeychile |
For those songs in question:
All my Ex’s Live in Texas – George Strait Song of the South – Alabama Midnight in Montgomery – Alan Jackson Elvira - I’m pretty sure it’s the Statler Brothers I Swear – John Michael Montgomery And for any Willie fans out there, The Great Divie is one of the best albums of any genre in the past decade, in my opinion |

"Good Morning Beautiful" Steve Holy "Neon Moon" Brooks and Dunn "Friends in Low Places" Garth Brooks "Mountain Music" Alabama "Top of the World" Dixie Chicks "Seminole Wind" John Anderson "Redneck Girl" Bellamy Brothers All I can think of for now... but I love country, so I might be back... |
Only 5??? OK. I'll try, but this will show my age.
Mama, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys- Willie Nelson If Tomorrow Never Comes - Garth Brooks You Were Mine - Dixie Chicks Lyin' Eyes/Tequila Sunrise (tie) - The Eagles (yes, they were considered C&W at the time) Outbound Plane - Suzy Boggus Nope, can't do just 5 - (Ghost) Riders in the Sky - Johnny Cash Guitars, Cadillacs - Dwight Yoakam & everything on "This Time" |
Actually I thought about it and I do like a certain country song. It goes "we'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way...something something I don't remember the rest". I cry every time I hear that. Damn it, now I want to eat American pie and say the Pledge of Allegiance.
-Rudey --Followed by a round of cow tipping. |
