#1 Stand By Your Man -
• Tammy Wynette's 1968 controversial song is about loyalty at all costs. Some saw it as an anti-feminist anthem and a call for submission in the new era of women's liberation. Others saw it as homage to the sacred bonds of marriage and love.

• Hillary Clinton's evocation of the song in 1992 created a controversy, but showed the staying power of this poignant stand for true and total commitment.

• The Dixie Chicks, Elton John and Lyle Lovett have all covered the song.

Hillary, the DC's and Sir Elton..... Minnie Pearl must be spinnin in her hat!

I'm not a country music fan...Southern Rock is great though.

The classic from that genre is: Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynard

I've been playing nothing but Alan Jackson, Willy and Cash since they fixed my sub woofer rattle in my car

It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
And a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We's headin' for bear on Eye-one-oh
'bout a mile outta Shakeytown
I says "Pigpen, this here's Rubber Duck"
"And I'm about to put the hammer down"

'cause we got a little ole convoy rockin' thru the night
Yeah, we got a little ole convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA
Convoooooyyyyyy

San Antonio Rose
Faded Love
Both by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys. Even if you don't know squat about country music, I'll bet you know both those songs when you hear them. Nothing closer to Heaven than 2 Stepping with a pretty girl to Faded Love.

BTW... Bob Wills Days in Turkey, Texas is one of the wildest parties you will ever go to. Little West Texas town of 500 ppl swells to over 20,000. Last weekend in April annually.

C. W. McCalls "Old Home Fill 'Er Up and Keep on a Truckin' Cafe" and "Wolf Creek Pass" were much better....God I led a warped childhood.

Crazy should have been #1, and El Paso should have been in the top ten.

100% in agreement.

Anything done by Hank Williams (the first) has to rank above all. His songs are the standards of the genre.
