I do love the DAC "You never even called me by my name"! I was introduced to his music in high school by a friend who had a couple of his underground cassettes. Then saw Willie Nelson and him in concert at The Ocean Center in Daytona Beach. Never been a big fan of George Jones (sorry).
So difficult to name the greatest all time. Not a fan of his politics but when I started listening to Willie Nelson I didn't know anything about politics or Willie's and he is my all time favorite musician so I'd pick a Willie song. But Waylon, Merle Haggard, and Hank Williams Jr. are so very close with one of their songs.

Reportedly George Jones hated that song when first offered to him but his career was faltering at the time so he conceded. He stated after the recording was cut that "Nobody will buy that morbid son of a b!tch". but when it went gold he said "a four decade career was salvaged by a three minute song".

When I feel like listening to country, it ain't that ole sappy stuff. And I agree with everyone thus far...the new stuff ain't cuttin' it. Country rap and all...WHAT IS THAT!?!?! But just for this conversation I'll suggest a little Hank Jr.:
The greatest country song is a toughie! I love some of the previously mentioned songs and artists, I'd add these favorites of mine -
- Kiss an Angel Good Morning - Charley Pride - Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas - Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys - Good Ole Boys Like Me - Don Williams - Hey Good Lookin. - Hank Williams - Six Pack to Go - Hank Thompson - She got the Goldmine and I got the Shaft - Jerry Reed - Coal Miner's Daughter - Loretta Lynn - Old Dogs, Little Children, and Watermelon Wine - Tom T. Hall - Harper Valley PTA - Jeannie C. Reilly (written by Tom T.

I remember watching a made for TV concert CMT put together to play the top 10 songs on the list--it was awesome. Ray Charles played a live cover of Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors" (less than a year before his death) that gave you goosebumps.
Dwight Yoakum is the only standout in the "new" country music. The rest of it rots your brain and routinely rips off Top 40 and Rock songs. They add some twang and some Simpleton will buy it.

I've been listening to the Amazon Music "Texas Country" station lately that plays Flatland Cavalry, Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen, etc. MUCH better than any of the Top 40 country radio that I can't stand.
I can go with a lot of what's been mentioned already for old stuff, and I'd add (for content and a good hook) 2 Lee Ann Womack songs:
Very entertaining, and a good look from the "other side". Worth checking out. Which they would do a new season, the first one was country, the next was funk (not as good but worth the watch); I'd like to see a series on 80's metal, sure there are some good stories there...

Yes and I believe it's obvious why. The quality of the music came from their hearts. Their experiences of hard work and heartache and life's tough roads and how they overcame.
Now it's commercialized and the singers for the most part come don't know anything about the tough life.

I like Hank III he does some interesting stuff like Must Have Been The Pills and the song about D Ray White, Mississippi Mud, Six Pack Of Beer. Favorite Prine song is Angel From Montgomery covered by Bonnie Raitt always chokes me up.

My two favorites are Hank Sr. So lonesome I could cry. The voice matched the song and it was simply great.
Patsy Cline I fall to pieces. Her voice sounds clearer and better than any one of this generations talentless hacks who have to remix their voices to hide their lack of talent. Event he best can't compare.
Both died before I was born but they were great.
I agree what is sold for country today is just a bunch of hip hop/pop/rap rejects and failures pretending they have talent.

I heard the Irish singer Daniel O’Donnell say that he was next going to sing his sister Kathleen’s favorite song: “Second Fiddle”.
I was so impressed with O’Donnell’s version of the song that I googled the songwriter and was a little stunned to read that it was Buck Owens’ first song to break into the radio charts in 1959. I thought I had heard every Buck Owens song.
Never been a fan of country music but now that I live in Tennessee, about 1/2 hour from the Birthplace of Country Music, finding anything else on the radio is kind of like fighting The Borg. Resistance is futile. Maybe it will grow on me. Probably not. I just leave the radio on the local Conservative talk radio station.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
I would say your first is arguably number one country song alltime. Number two I cannot go along with. I don't even think it's country. And especially not with guys like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Hank Jr. and Waylon Jennings.

The Ray Stevens song I put in as a joke. I first heard that song as a kid in the back seat of my mom's station wagon in the early 70's. Thought it was the funniest song ever!
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.

So that we have something to look forward to, let us hope that some down on their luck human being in order to get through a really bad day of a bad year will start writing tonight on a greasy napkin held against the steering wheel of their old Ram pickup to the rhythm of rain on the windshield what will turn out to be the best country music song of all time....
Years ago several of my buddies and I got fired off one night and wrote a country song. The title was “I love you but I want to break your nose”. None of us play music or sing well for that matter, but we had a lot of fun!
