Favourite *Country* Songs

Skimming the thread titles, I've seen very little mention of the country music genre. Now, I don't listen to much country, but I was raised on it, and I hear a quite a bit of it just because I'm from Kentucky and in many places its the genre of choice. There are several country songs that I absolutely love, and a few artists I listen to with some degree of regularity. (Dixie Chicks, Rascal Flatts, and Faith Hill to name a few) I am NOT including Allison Krauss on this list, even though I've loved her for many many years...she's bluegrass, y'all, I don't care if she's on Country Music Television, it's bluegrass.

Anyway...I was interested in seeing if anyone else has an interest in country. Even if you can't stand the twang, many of them have great lyrics. Their music videos tend to be more enjoyable for me to watch because they really tell a story, not just flash racy images for 3 minutes. I guess I'm a fan of ballads; most of the country songs I like are slow, tender ballads. So anyway...my favourite country songs...please add if you have any. :-)

*The Dance by Garth Brooks
*Baby, You Can Sleep While I Drive by Trisha Yearwood (I know that this one was actually written by Melissa Ethridge)
*You Don't Even Know Who I am by Patty Loveless
*I'm Moving On by Rascal Flatts
*Love Me by Collin Ray

Well, if you consider Neil Young country (I dont, but have known several who do), the his Heart of Gold or Needle and the Damage Done would have to be my favorites. Beyond that though, Im not a big fan of country, so...

One of the bands I play in is a classic rock band (classics people can dance to,.. ie not Zeppelin, Sabbath etc,..*OFKU0 sobs*) and everytime at the end of the third set when everyone is drunk we rip on a version of Travis Tritt's ' Here's a quarter call someone who cares'. It never fails,we get the loudest reaction of the night in a positive way.

I agree.
The Dance also by Garth Brooks is good as well. Umm there's so many I dunno what to put down.

edit: I have Alan Jackson's "Remember When" playing on my playlist. I like that a lot, though I'm not old enough to relate.

lots of good ones here already. some of my favorites I haven't seen here are songs that tell a good story:
that summer-Garth Brooks
ten thousand angels-I forget who
three wooden crosses-Randy Travis (I don't like him all that much, but I love this song)
the one about the little kid who sees his parents fighting and then recognizes Jesus as being the guy who was watching after him that day when he first goes to Sunday school-have no idea who sings it
Corpus Christi Bay -Robert Earl Keen

Tons of great tunes by Jonny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.

My favorites are more from the alt-country variety though like stuff by Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar Ryan Adams, etc.

Roadworn and Weary by the Supersuckers
and Outtasite (Outta Mind) - Wilco

are two of my favs.

Wouldn't that then actually be watching a Shania Twain video?


BTW, the best country song of all time is Friends in Low Places. Coming in a close second, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Fishing In The Dark...

In this case I should list the songs I DONT like. It would take less time.

Tim McGraw- Cowboy in me
John Connely- Rose colored glasses
Anything by Willie Nelson or Merle Haggard
Allison Krause and Brad Paisley- Whiskey Lullabye

I guess just too many to list
