Was thinking the same thing about George Strait. Id have to have Garth in there somewheres. Minus his little stunt a few years ago.

Likely my thought as well. He's hard to beat.

Waylon should be higher than Bill Monroe. Waylon is one of the best ever. Why do they call everyone artists now. Alot of these are my fav singers.

Well, I dont know how they are ranking these...

George Strait has what 60 #1's now, and Merle is second with 40, how can Straight, not even make the list when he is absolutely dominant in #1's...He almost has to be #1, or at least in the top 5....This looks like a college poll, with LSU being undefeated and not even on the list...

Brooks has to be on the list...

Where is Elvis? he actuslly had a hand in Cash being what he was, all those people didn't flock out to see Cash in the beginning, they were there to see Elvis...

It looks more like a tribute list, than a true ranking, there aren't any modern singers on there...I mean come on, Kenny Chesney isn't bigger than Ronny Milsap???? He has sold a few trillion more concert tickets and albums, and brought millions more fans to Country Music, not to mention his record amount of entertainer of the year awards, compaired to Milsaps none...He also has something like 3 or 4 times the #1 songs....I like some Smokey Mountain Rain, but come on, you gotta rank them where they fall...

I would say maybe they are only ranking singer/songwriters, but Patsy Cline got up there with her drunk self....
