Behind Taylor, but ahead of Chris Gaines

Bro, do you even Waylon?
Posted on 9/18/13 at 12:28 am to au21tigers
not in the top ten

He's on the Mt. Rushmore of all country music legends, IMO.

Top 10.
Not in front of Merle, Hank Sr., Waylon, or Jones.

He doesn't

He has an amazing long history of hits, but he is not Cash, Waylon, SR. or Jones.

Don't forget Johnny Paycheck and then there's Jason Aldeen.

George Strait has the most #1 country hits of all-time. For that reason alone, he is the best country singer ever, IMO.

Behind Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Sr., Willie, Merle, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Lefty Frizzel, Dwight Yoakum, The Possum, Bob Wills, Earnest Tubb......

He's like an old Jason Aldean. He doesn't write any of his songs, he's just a voice and body that ladies like.

George Jones charted over 150 songs, for that reason alone he is the greatest country singer.

I will give Strait this... He is probably the best country singer to come out after 1980.

(And I won't even mention Webb Pierce)

My list would be
1. George Jones
2. Hank Sr.
3. Merle Haggard
4. Cash
5. Waylon Jennings
6. Ernest Tubb
7. Buck Owens
8. Willie Nelson
9. Bob Wills
10. Lefty Frezell
Also. Marty Robbins, Jimmy Rogers, Roy Acuff
And really 6-10 can be put in any order

Yeah but Conway Twitty held the record before that. So by that logic Conway Twitty is the second greatest country singer ever???? Therefore I find that stat to be invalid, personally.
But I do like King George...I think he's Top 10-15.

Merle has 40 #1s, and faced tougher competition. Merle wins based on SoS.

had he died in 1998, maybe in the top 10
seriously, he wouldn't make my top 10 of country music stars who appeared in a movie
