Do you agree or disagree?
1. Walk the Line, Johnny Cash
2. Crazy, Patsy Cline
3. I'm so lonesome I could cry, Hank Williams
4. He stopped loving her today, George Jones
5. Standing on the Corner, Jimmy Rodgers
6. Stand by your man, Tammy Wynette
7. You don't know me, Ray Charles
8. Mama tried, Merle Haggard
9. Jolene, Dolly Parton
10, Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys, Waylon and Willie
I would have had "All my exes live in Texas" by George Straight and The Carter Family's "Can the Circle be Unbroken" for Ray Charles and Jimmy Rodgers but that just mho.
Edit: Holy shite, just realized they have "Mean" by Taylor Swift ranked higher than "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash :giantfrickingcasty:

Any CM list that omits Swingin' by John Anderson is not legit IMHO! 
And #4 should be # 1.

These lists are tough to make and are always gonna draw criticism, but I would have liked to see "Pancho & Lefty" up there and feel like "Mama Tried" should be top five, same for "Jolene"

Some on the list are arguable, but at least they chose real country music to select from.
