Rolling Stone

I'll go ahead and tell you, this list is shite. No Hank Jr, no Charlie Daniels. Also no " Summertime", "Tobacco Road" or "Sleepy Time Down South"

It sounds like a list created by clueless yankees

I'm shocked Rolling Stone didn't put Neil Young's Southern Man number 1

That list sucks green slimy donkey dicks. Let us never speak of it again.

A few of my favorites:

Long Ryders - "State Of My Union"

Elvis Presley - "Blue Moon of Kentucky"

Delbert McClinton - "Going Back To Louisiana"

Roy Acuff - "Night Train to Memphis"

The Osborne Brothers - "Rocky Top"

Glenn Miller Orchestra w/the Nicholas Brothers - "Chattanooga Choo Choo"

The Lovin' Spoonful - "Nashville Cats" (and of course we can't forget this)

Jimmie Driftwood - "The Battle Of New Orleans" (original version)

Jesse Winchester - "Mississippi You're on My Mind"

The Byrds w/Gram Parsons - "Hickory Wind"

I am glad "Southern Nights" made the list, but I don't get why they include the Glen Campbell version. I have always thought the Allen Toussaint version was much, much better.

I'd say these belong on there:

- "Chicken Fried," Zac Brown Band
- "Eastbound and Down," Jerry Reed
- "Honeysuckle Blue," Drivin N' Cryin
- "Georgia," Cee Lo Green
- Switch "Ramblin Man" for "Statesboro Blues"
- "Wagon Wheel," Old Crow Medicine Show

I'd get rid of:

anything by
- Brad Pasiley
- Darius Rucker
- Ludacris and Field Mob

And I'd move "Georgia On My Mind" to #1 and bump James Taylor down to like #5.

This a troll article. Hook is too shiny. They make it obvious by putting "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" at 25 and fricking "Southern Comfort Zone" at 14

Well, he did write the thing (I like both versions) - but I would query Allen himself - I bet he's very glad that Glenn Campbell recorded it and made him a $hit-ton of money.
