I agree Marty Robbins was great, as was Ray Price and I loved Bobby Bare too. And Patsy Cline had a ring to her voice that was special! I also think Freddy Fender was special. He could really sing.
John Anderson's "Would you catch a falling star",and "An old chunk of coal" were always on my list. He's a good ole boy from right here in Central Florida.
When Taylor Swift entered country music I wanted to vomit. The last generation of great country singers was late 80's with Clint Black, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson and others.
Facts are stubborn things.

I agree, put Travis Tritt in that group too. Alan Jackson and George Strait sang about it with "murder on music row", pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Oh yeah, I forgot Travis Tritt and I have George Strait Greatest Hits. And yes he sure did hit the nail on the head!

I'm fine with the DAC song listed, provided we give credit to Steve Goodman for writing it.
Steve Goodman and John Prine. I had no idea John Prine helped to write it.  He and Steve Goodman are 2 of the great songwriters in modern American music. Yeah, I miss them both. Here is the story from John. He explains the genesis of the song early in the video and how Steve finished it near the end of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxKgj7w3tBU

My daily driver doesn't have a CD player, Sirius radio, Bluetooth, or even power windows, air conditioning or seat belts...I digress.
So, luckily one the local radio stations (HANK FM) plays "country oldies" which I really like to listen to through my single speaker in the dash. From time to time they play my favorite country song ever which means that it has to be the best country song of all time, right?? He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones.
Can anyone convince me there’s one better?
The Paul Harvey Rest of the Story for that song done by Bobby Bare. Written by Guy Clark who was one of the finest writers ever. Let Him Roll https://g.co/kgs/CSKaDGKevin

They stopped making good country music in late 80's mid 90's IMO. Leann Rimes had a shot in the beginning but blew it by following the others. They all sound the same to me. Give me the REAL Country Music  There are a few bands out there doing a good job as of late, but they ain't "daddy's country" and you're not going to hear it on your local radio. To name a few: Whiskey Myers Tyler Childers Cody Jinks Uncle Lucious Chris Stapleton
