Where does George Strait rank all time in country?

I don't think he wrote much of his stuff, but the man could sing a song.

Not a songwriter.
Modern GOAT.
He hit the scene in 1982 or so. Cash, willie, Waylon. We're already established by the 60's and 70's.
Hard to rank George though. He didn't write and can't play guitar.
Country music has some absolute guitar wizards going way back.

Like the above guy said, not a songwriter, doesn't really play guitar, heck of a singer. He's certainly a great performer and has had a ton of success. Tough to rank though.

I don't know how much input singers have in what they choose to sing and what is chosen or available for them.
George has always had good songs. Either songwriters make sure he gets their best or he only picks the best. No "Watermelon Crawls" for him.

I have seen him live, and was unimpressed both times. He just kinda stands there with a guitar on and rarely plays a chord. Love his music though

I would imagine that after you have a couple #1 hits, top songwriters would feed you great tunes to cut.

High on the list of all time favorites

Somewhere behind George Jones and Glen Campbell

He's certainly up there with all time country singers. He's a great singer. You could put him in the same group as Hank Williams, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard.

I disagree, but I do love George Strait.

Guess you never heard "Honk if you honkytonk"

I like George Strait, but I'm not sure where I'd rank him. He, or someone working for/with him, was very smart though. Generally speaking, the songs he released as singles were the best songs on each album. The ones he didn't release are not that good on most albums.
He wrote a couple of songs for one of his albums(forget which one) and they were terrible.

Lol. Nope. Guess a career that long has to have turds in the barrel. He didn't release that one for radio though, did he?

He sort of like the Neil Diamond of country singers.
