I don’t like “Jolene,” and I think there are much better Waylon & Willie songs than “Luckenbach, Texas.”

Other than that, a pretty good list. However, Gospel quartet singing was a huge influence in country music, so something by the Statler Brothers or the Oak Ridge Boys, with their fine harmonies, should be included. I also don’t see anything by 80s country hair bands, such as Alabama.

David Allen Coe: The Perfect Couontry and Western Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkKn5HrKgHQ

Well, 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 my pickup truck
She got run over by a damned old train

"El Paso" didn't even make the list?

Nor "The Perfect Country and Western Song" by David Allan Coe?

Who is this guy?

My vote is for “Ring of Fire.”

Johnny Cash is one of my favorites—up there with Mozart and Beethoven. I don’t think he did a bad song ever.

“Stand By Your Man” should be Number 1, followed by “Walk On By.”

I should add that I think Johnny Cash’s very best song is probably “Hurt”:

Talk about subjective. What about “Fancy”?

Define “country music.” Music is subjective,it is impossible to list a definitive ten best “country” songs of all time. So it’s your list? Who are you to have the audacity to do that? Nice songs though, like 8/10.

I always liked Jerry Jeff, David Allen Coe and all the earlier from 30's to 70's. This was just my later teen years and have memories with the song. Mr Bojangles
