Just the way I feel . . . but I do love some of these oldies! My dad loved to dance with my mom to "San Antonio Rose"!!

Ode to Billy Joe? As many times as I've played that song on my guitar, I would *never* put it in *any* top 100 songs ... :roll:

Oh, yeah. WAR's not there ... which is just wrong. On so many levels. :D

Did he ever do You Never Even Call Me By My Name?
from the article:
You Never Even Called Me by My Name,David Allan Coe And now for something completely different -- Coe's masterpiece of irreverence is a song-within-a-song that still has all of country music laughing at itself (and at mama, trains, prison and gettin' drunk ...).
Is it "Coe's masterpiece" if Steve Goodman wrote it? He might have done the most popular version, but a little credit for the composer would be nice.

I dunno what the people were smoking when they made this list, but come on...

I don't really have a problem with the top 4, but I think you have to have something by Hank Sr. in the top 5.

I don't understand Hope You Dance at #28, unless it was picked because it became a crossover hit. It was a good song, but no way that high. Same thing for I'm Gonna Miss Her at #39.

Alabama first makes the list at #50? WTH!?!?!?!?! And no mention of Mountain Music, 40 Hour Week, or the number of songs that crossed over to pop top 10s?

I think there needs to be a major recount.

Still, in our opinions, these are indeed the 100 best country songs of all time. Let the disagreeing begin. :) :)

I really thought Hey Good Looking would be in there also.

I guess Mr Bojangles wasn't country?

100 country songs and only 7 about a dog getting run over right before the pick up broke down while the wife left with the milk man? that's crap!
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

Hmmm, I guess I need to check out this whole Weekend in New England/Whoever's in New England tit-for-tat thing, see if either of them know anything about New England.
Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

If Blackhawk didn't make the list, it's of no use to me.

42.Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain, Willie Nelson This sentimental folkish tune could've been a Carter Family song in the 1930s, but Nelson brought the gentle ballad into the outlaw movement with no sweat.

5. Whiskey River, Willie Nelson

How many concerts have you attended that started with TWANG, TWANG, TWANG, TWANG, then these two words? We thought so.

ummmmm.... I think they got these mixed up....
got to stop wishin' got to start fishin'....

It's funny no one mentioned the subliminal messages in these songs. Do you know what you get when you play country music backwards ?

You get your truck back, your job back, your dog back, your wife back... :o

I'm hearing a collective groan :D :D
