Any true country song is ultimately about some combination of beer, trucks, women (preferably Southern), dogs, dirt roads and the Land of the Free. If you don’t get why that’s awesome, you have no shot at appreciating the genre.

Thank you. And trains, trains should be in there too!

[dfwgator]

And where’s the Western? Ain’t they got both kinds?

Aaron Watson’s song “July in Cheyenne” is just AWESOME!

Best country music song ever — Hank Williams Jr., A Country Boy Can Survive:

Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cuz we’re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

For us older folks you're ‘bout right but the new generation has a different feel for country, most of them except for the 4Hers and FFA have no idea what country means. They live in the suburbs so that's where the market is. I still find a lot of good country by listening to radio free Texas and going though CD baby and sampling the songs. I don't much care for the play lists on county music radio stations. Now what really sucks is these Country Rap songs, I call it C-Rap.

It's all about a woman and the man who loved her till the end.

Today’s line up are nothing more than pop stars that could not make it in top 40 and they bring their trash to country.

Most of today's "country" singers are nothing more than pop singers wearing cowboy hats.

[rktman]

Nicely done. LOL!

[thackney]

The best female country hits don’t touch on most of these stupid topics, either. Kathy Mattea’s “Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses”

except for Charlie's truck and his woman...

[Resolute Conservative]

I don’t see too many wearing cowboy hats. Buying some taco shaped straw hat at a gas station and tying a bandana to it doesn’t make it country.

[Resolute Conservative]

Not Just Another Pretty Face and Barbed-Wire Halo are two of my favs.

[wbill]

This is a lot of crap, and the stupid list reflects it.

Thanks for saying what needed to be said. LOL!

Hard to take seriously anything that mentions "Justin Beeber" and "Great Songs" in the same breath.

[Resolute Conservative]

“Those Songs” also. My playlist has that followed by Conway’s “Next in Line”

[Man from Oz]

You are spot on...

Best country music song ever — Hank Williams Jr., A Country Boy Can Survive

You might be right. But that song is more than just a song, it's a description of the traditional American citizen.

I suspect that if old Ben Franklin could hear that song, he'd smile and nod.

[saganite]

Randy Travis, George Strait, Dwight Yoakam. They’re all fron the 90’s and they’re all good. Of the current lot I like Gary Allen. The shelf is pretty bare these days though.

[wardaddy]

That was originally satire or sarcasm by David Allan Coe....

Not a template

Amarillo by morning is a nice driving across the plains song but sorta country pop

Very little real country gets airplay anymore

Jone’s classic is definitely a top 5 or 10

The best country song is an elusive beast

Hank I
Waylon
Acuff
Mile
Loretta
Tammy
Johnny Cash....libtards go to country guy
Tubbs
Snow
Monroe

My wife would leave me for Strait...lol

"It’s a stupid novelty song sung by a stupid novelty country singer."

Fixed.

“Hey, he left out trains, pick up trucks, prison and mom.”

I was thinking the same thing about “divorce”.

But, then I realized divorce and Mom are a subset of “women”.
