October 23, 201411 yr Rough night? Tossing and turning and didn't get any sleep? It's like you woke up bound and determined to hate on absolutely everything this morning. :lol2: Well, obviously that means he spent all night dreaming of you...:no:
October 23, 201411 yr Rough night? Tossing and turning and didn't get any sleep? It's like you woke up bound and determined to hate on absolutely everything this morning. :lol2: It's a knee-jerk reaction I have with country music to degrade it. As are my attacks on you, it truly is all in good fun. Honestly, my list would be: George Jones Hank Williams, Sr. Conway Twitty Willie Nelson I don't have Johnny Cash on the list because I think he's in a genre of music all by himself. I refuse to allow country to claim him because I like him a lot. :lol2:
October 23, 201411 yr Well, obviously that means he spent all night dreaming of you...:no: Unacceptable. Dislike for even putting that image out there. Double dislike.

October 23, 201411 yr We actually were talking about this in the office yesterday. How do you leave Garth Brooks off the mountain? I don't thin you can. Gotta go with: Hank Sr. George Jones George Straight Garth It's hard to leave Cash off...but to be honest I don't think he'd WANT to be on it if you know his history battling the traditional country music establishment in his heyday.
October 23, 201411 yr Hank Williams Willie Nelson George Strait Johnny Cash find it hard to leave out Garth Brooks, although a short career since his so called retirement and now he's back again, but the influence he had this generation is hard to argue with. I'd also list Hank Jr as honorable mention.

October 23, 201411 yr Garth Brooks is single-handedly responsible from turning true country music into the "pop-country" of today. No way should he be on there IMO.

I was going to say the same thing but was going to list the reason he is on there. Changed the way country music is regarded. I would go with: Johnny Cash Garth Brooks Hank Williams George Straight Edited October 23, 201411 yr by littleluck55 Male
October 23, 201411 yr Unacceptable. Dislike for even putting that image out there. Double dislike. You know what, after the Bunk omission, I don't even feel bad about it.
October 23, 201411 yr Hank Williams Johnny Cash Townes Van Zandt Willie Nelson I came very close to leaving off Hank for Willie. TVZ and Cash were my absolute no-brainers. Then it got tricky.
October 23, 201411 yr I came very close to leaving off Hank for Willie. TVZ and Cash were my absolute no-brainers. Then it got tricky. Waylon Jennings would be my "Under-Funded And Probably Won't Ever Get Finished Crazy Horse Memorial Male Country Artist" - you know...that guy who fought the power and never really got along with "the man", while still doing a great job of doing his own thing.
October 23, 201411 yr Hank Williams Sr Johnny Cash Merle Haggard George Jones Honorable mention to Jimmie Rodgers
