Razors Edge ★ Posted May 28, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2020 Not that I can tell. A non-country fan should be able to identify and hum any top 10 list. I don't even recognize a couple of those songs let alone think they are in a top 10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted May 28, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 28, 2020 Probably too much effort to include some current songs that I doubt will stand the test of time. But I think most of the songs are reasonable choices even if there are probably equally reasonable choices not on the list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted May 28, 2020 Share #7 Posted May 28, 2020 No songs by Hank Williams? That would be like a blues list without Robert Johnson. Agreed that some of the songs in that top 10 will not stand up to time. Dolly Parton had many songs more worthy of Top 10. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted May 28, 2020 Share #18 Posted May 28, 2020 There are definitely some classics on that list. Stand By Your Man by Tammy Wynette should have made the list. Also He Stopped Lovign Her Today by George Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted May 28, 2020 Share #25 Posted May 28, 2020 I want to know, in those 1000 songs, is it the same dog all the time? And was the song where the guy actually got the girl still eligible for the list? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted May 28, 2020 Share #29 Posted May 28, 2020 Not being a country fan I haven’t heard of many of the newer songs but I think these lists are designed to get people talking about it. They will move up or down certain songs to generate dialogue. Just like we are doing now.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
