I have been on a country music kick for the past couple of weeks, so with all due respect to my kick here are my Top 5 artist/groups and favorite song of theirs:
5. Hank Williams Jr. - Dixie on My Mind
4. Kenny Chesney - Not so much his new stuff, but more of the old Kenny (probably the reason he is sitting as low as #4)...The Good Stuff is my favorite though
3. Brooks and Dunn - Hard Workin' Man
2. George Strait - Carrying Your Love With Me
1. Alabama - Song of the South
Thoughts? Your favorites? Anyone needed to be replaced?

Nice. I don't think you are too far off on the artists (except if you're gonna have Chesney on there I think you need to go back further). Here is my offering of some alternative songs for the artists you've selected.
5. Hank, Jr. - Dinosaur
4. Kenny Chesney - That's Why I'm Here OR All I Need to Know
3. Brooks and Dunn - Brand New Man
2. George Strait - The Chill of an Early Fall
1. Alabama - Dixieland Delight OR (in December) Christmas in Dixie

All good choices Gray! You can't go wrong with country! I love country!
I am a bit more old school:
In no particular order:
George Strait: I Can Still Make Cheyenne
Willie Nelson: Blues Eyes Cryin in the Rain or Whiskey River
Johnny Cash: Folsom Prison Blues
Dwight Yoakam: Guitars, Cadillacs
Merle Haggard: The Fightin Side of Me
Kenney Chesney is a sellout wannabe Jimmy Buffett. But Back Where I Come From is a killer song.
I didnt give country a chance til I came down to AU. Heres some of my picks
Kenny Chesney - "Back Where I Come From" & Alabama - "Down Home" . . . I like to pretend I wasnt born in the foothills of suburbia when I listen to these
Johnny & June Carter Cash - "Jackson" This song is so rockin and June's voice knocks my socks off
Hank Williams Sr. - "Lost Highway"
Gram Parsons wrote one of my favorite songs of all time . . .
Tmy5,
I totally agree with Kenny trying to become a Jimmy Buffett sellout. That is why I don't claim his last two albums. I see some very good potential for my next country mix CD that I will be burning in the near future. That's right...I will be stealing music.

gray... you are taking away from the music industry & the hard working artists.
maggie is no longer allowed to talk on this blog. www.zipit.com
i believe dixieland delight-alabama might have made my list, along with ring of fire-johnny cash, Oceanfront Property-George Strait, Sorryville-Chris Knight, and Nightmare-Pat Green

Why has no one mentioned Achy Breaky Heart or Have You Forgotten? What about the worst country songs ever?
well, i'm still posting - ha. okay, does anyone remember that song "Texas Tornado" ? I nominate it for the worst country song ever. I think it was by one of the Tracy's - there were too many in the early 90s to keep straight. If you know this song, i think you will agree - it was the pits.
Maggie, That Tracy would be Tracy Lawrence. In agreement with that song sucking, Does anybody remember the video for this song and how TL had a string of like 5 videos that were connected by him time warping to a new scene and the always popular "To be continued..." ending? That was a terrible idea and probably the reason why nobody knows where Tracy Lawrence is today. Maybe I'm the only CMT loser.
