90's country music was the greatest era of country.

There have been awesome, legendary, and influential country artists in every decade since country music was invented, but it is my opinion that the 1990's was the greatest era in country music history. Many country artists in that decade were considered "neo-traditional" in that their sound was a blend of classic country honky tonk and modern influences. They still incorporated classic instruments like the steel guitar, mandolin, violin, etc. while embracing rock n' roll elements. If you look at the artists who made their mark in the 1990's, including Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Tracy Lawrence, Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Mark Chesnutt, Confederate Railroad, Brooks & Dunn, Terri Clark, Sammy Kershaw, Jo Dee Messina, etc., the list goes on and on, their collective bodies of work were incredible and true country. I love artists like Merle Haggard, Patsy Cline, David Allan Coe, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Hank Sr. and Jr., Waylon, etc. who, without them, country music would have been sorely lacking... their influence paved the way for the 90's artists and beyond, and because of their influence, it allowed the 90's artists to reign supreme in country music history. What do y'all think?
