Listening to Hank Snow and Anita Carter right now... I usually listen to classic rock, but really like a fix of authentic (pre mid seventies) country every once in a while. That was the music Dad played Saturday mornings...
Ive got friends in low places 
. Makes me feel better every time I hear it.
. Makes me feel better every time I hear it.Is Chris Stapleton "Country Pop"? Then count me a fan.

This is where country is at with the college kids.. always a hit at our local bonfires.
How about the Patsy Cline one. Willie Nelson had a hit with it as well. Can't recall the name of it right now.
Shows what kind of Country fan I am.

Usually I proof read and all looks good until I reread it 20 minutes later and all of a sudden the post has many mistakes.

Wichita Lineman is a definite hit with me. Marty Robbins had some great songs. Too sad he died early. My parents took us to one of his concerts which also featured Conway Twitty and the Twittybirds.
A song that perhaps was popular but not great that sticks in my mind from way back is Thank God and Greyhound You’re Gone. My dad used to sing with it when it played.
Jim Reeves also sang some favorites. A great voice.

There is a difference, as mentioned before, between your "favorite" and the "greatest".
It is cliche to mention this, but still true.
The greatest country song is:
"He Stopped Loving Her Today." As recorded by George Jones.

Wichita Lineman is one of the best songs ever. Glen Campbell is one of the best musicians there will ever be. He was also part of the Wrecking Crew,the most talented group of musicians there will ever be as well.

This thread really isn't fair- I don't have a "single" song at the top of my list. I could go on and on with many different ones that I could listen to at any point in time, without hesitation.
I am at a ripe age of 31, and I dislike most of the new fad country songs- they all sound the same, no one writes their own lyrics (other than a couple female artists and a couple of males) and the females don't get enough credit. Males dominate the genre due to the perception that the majority of country listeners are female. Give me another Luke Bryan song where his voice sounds like he is squeezing out a deuce and I will punch someone. haha. There are a handful of newer artists that sound great and have that real country sound- those are the ones that I will continue to listen to.
I've been listening to Country since before it was the cool thing to do... This new stuff disgusts me fairly often and I don't have it on the dial. Willie's Roadhouse on XM if I don't stream the phone!
End of rant! lol
