Pretty sure Mike is giving that list as examples of *good* country music. ( at least they'd be on my list )
And I can pretty much listen to Patsy sing "Crazy" or "I fall to pieces" anytime.
Right now listening to Ernest Tubb do "Waltz across Texas" ...
>Patsy Cline?
>
>>Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Dwight Yoakum, Buck Owens, Waylon Jennings, the Mavericks.....
>>
>>>Again, not even close
>>>
>>>1. Achy Breaky Heart.
>>>2-10. Almost all other country (Johnny Cash and a small handful of others being the exception)
>>>
>>>>1) Anything from Abba
>>>>2) Anything from Bon Jovi
>>>>3) Anything from Air Supply (in the 11th grade, I got sent to the principal's office because I openly wished the members of the band would drown in the ocean)
>>>>4) Undercover Angel (a cheesy song from the mid 70's)
>>>>5) Afternoon Delight (another 70's piece of trash....the dumbest, most idiotic song I've ever heard)
>>>>6) Anything from Yoko Ono (the dumbest, most idiotic singer I've never heard)
>>>>7) River of Dreams by Billy Joel
>>>>8) Faith Hill's "Sunday night football" song
>>>>9) Anything by Foreigner (talk about no talent!!!)
>>>>10) Mr. Roboto by Styx ( I was a mild Styx fan until this song)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
