bluegrass not country fyi
Bluegrass became known as "bluegrass" because of Bill Monroe...but remember that he was a regular member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1939. His true "bluegrass style" didn't develop until Earl Scruggs was added to his Bluegrass Boys band in 1945 (the Blue Grass Boys were originally named The Kentuckians). Until that time, they were considered country...because there was no such thing as "bluegrass". The two were not differentiated.
Bill Monroe (along with Flatt & Scruggs) are my "country artists" be cause they predate the classification of "bluegrass" as a genre of music.

As a comparable for his time, I'd probably put George Straight ahead of Garth. But that's just my preference.
I don't know about now, but for a long time, George had more #1 hits than any other music artist, in any genre. Last count I think was around 60.

While that's a fair point...George passed Conway Twitty who had like 50 something and I'll never understand how or why. So more me that doesn't factor in as much.
Garth is easily top 5 all time. It seems like people in music attain GOAT status the longer they've been dead or irrelevant. Hank Sr. wasn't GOAT until he'd been dead for quite sometime and other artists started referencing him in their music.

Give me Chris Ledoux over Garth any day.

Top 5 for sure. If I can get the Chris Gaines fiasco out of my head maybe top 3.
