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?

I like it, I like George I like old country , I like stuff people call country .. but, hate new country , georgia florida line, Shay and bob or what ever // all that crap is horrible . There are 1000's of good quality old country , hard to find a station that plays them anymore --demographics.. The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

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. Facts are stubborn things.

Some of my favorites are Conway Twitty, Lorretta Lynn, The Judds, Randy Travis. I really like the "oldies" as well. Bobby Vinton, Everly Brothers, Connie Francis, Temptations, etc.

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". They're all gone now but remember .. "If you had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride, you wouldn't have a Buck Owen"

Too many to name, but I'm fine with the DAC song listed, provided we give credit to Steve Goodman for writing it. Greatest new country song? Friends in Low Places. Hands down. Greatest current-type country song? None, for the reasons ruderunner noted. Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck. DBAP

Country rap and all...WHAT IS THAT!?!?! But just for this conversation I'll suggest a little Hank Jr.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDkyL9c0QdY&ab_channel=HankWilliams%2CJr.-Topic Last edited by Fat_Mike; 05/18/21 09:54 PM.

It was about a coal miner who was trap under ground and held up the roof while the pother miners escape. I really like that one also Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
