I used to like Garth Brooks. He was one of the first country artists I got into as a kid. He was really one of the first artists I got into ever. Wish he would allow his music to be streamed. I liked some of the earlier music. Now I realize he kind of helped open the floodgates for shitty bro country.

low, very low.

Just outside of top 10.
How much did he write?
He was huge. Early 90's you listened to Seattle, Metallica, or Garth Brooks. If not? You had Color Me Bad.

I like a few of his songs,and he had a great run,was very influential for quite a few years.
In the grand scheme of things though,not even top 25.

So you can name 25 country singers you'd put ahead of him? He just about single handedly adequate country music main stream. Whether that is good or bad with all of the bro country nowadays that is one hell of an accomplishment.

Popularity does not equal quality.

Certainly an amazing commercial success. Didn't do much for country music overall, though.

The guy is the CMA and AMA artist of the decade for the 1990s
You are just bing country hipsters if you put him outside your top 10.

yes.- I'll try to stay in order from top to bottom(but really not in order).#1 Hank Williams,2 Jimmy Rodgers,3 Merle Haggard,4 Johnny Cash,5 Dwight Yoakam,6Patsy Cline.7 Loretta Lynne,8 George Jones,9 Kieth Whitley,10 Vern Godsdin,11 Willie Nelson,12 Waylon Jennings,13Johnny Paycheck,14 Hank jr.,15 Vince Gill,16 Marty Robbins,17 David Allen Coe,18 Ricky Skaggs,19 Allison Krauss,20 Elvis Presley,21 Glenn Campbell,22George Straight,23 Bill Monroe,24 Ralph Stanley,35 Earnest Tubb,26 Roy Acuff,27 Randy Travis.. inject Buck Owens in top 10 someplace,along with Johnny Horton. Bellamy Brothers had a good run,in the 80s with a lot of hits,almost forgotten now,but you can still hear their influence...Amazing Rhythm Aces..you could even hear the influence in Dire Strait's stuff,and that came full circle,when Knopfler started producing country acts.
Obviously, I wasn't able to keep my list in order,in level of importance to the real genre,it would have taken too much editing.For permanent lasting influence, I put all of these ahead of Garth Brooks though.Probably left some out too.

I normally don't care but he just seems like a whiny little bitch.

Can't believe I left out Buck Owens,thanx man.Posted on 6/5/16 at 4:28 pm to Kafka
No Gram Parsons either...

well, I tried to stick to people that received a lot of Country airplay,had to leave off a lot of very influential people. I would be here all week making a perfect list.
Like with Elvis, of course he was considered the The King of Rock and Roll, but he got a lot of country airplay as well,so I put him on my list...I also left off Conway Twitty,can't believe that one either.
And when you consider all the songwriters,musicians,producers that had such an influential role,who most people never even heard of.It's an impossible list.

As a seller of product, he was great, but there are only 2-3 of his songs I can listen to.
Posted on 6/5/16 at 5:02 pm to FightinTigersDammit
Probably more than 5 songs that I still like. The Dance is a great song( did he write that?),and that is probably the only 1 that I rank as great,a few more are really good.
