Debatable, obviously. It's certainly up there.

I can't think of a single song across any genre that fits the singer's voice so perfectly.

If that makes any sense.

I'd probably go with "For The Good Times"

It would be my #2. For me, I'm So Lonesome is #1 and it's not even close.

Do love some George though.

I prefer the honky tonk years of Ray Price over the Nashville sound years.... Just my opinion

My list would be

1. He stopped loving her today
2. I'm so lonesome I could cry
3. Crazy
4. Mama Tried
5. Folsom Prison Blues
6. San Antonio Rose
7. Mamas don't let your babies grow up....
8. Hello Darlin
9. Faded Love
10. If you've got the money

I'd flip these at the very least...

4. Mama Tried


Personally I think 'Misery and Gin' is Merle's best

7. Mamas don't let your babies grow up...


'Lukenbach' instead of this

I have no idea how you create a Top 10 list like this because their are so many good songs to consider. I feel this Top 3 is hard to beat.
1. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry- Hank Sr.
2. He Stopped Loving Her Today- George Jones
3. The Dance- Garth Brooks
After that I don't know how you come up with 4-10. You could argue any of the following be in the top 10, just off the top of my head.
Folsom Prison Blues
Blues Eyes Crying in the Rain
Amarillo By Morning
Good Ole Boys Like Me
Farewell Party
El Paso
Momma Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
Misery and Gin
Crazy
Stand By Your Man
Luckenbach Texas
Old Violin
Better Off In A Pine Box
When I Call Your Name
Chiseled in Stone
