Id have Conway and George a little higher up.

I agree with Cash being #1..

George is too low, hes top 5 at least.

I probably would too, but would add Cal Smith into the mix. Would probably move Jim Reeves and Charley pride up as well. For Pride to do what he did, when he did it, as a black man, in a white music genre, is amazing.

Sorry I didn't post the link where I found this. Will try and find it.

And Ernest Tubb has to be in the top 25.

What about Carl Perkins?

**R0cketer** · October 1st, 2008, 10:47 PM

I'd still think you have to have George Strait in there and what about someone like Alabama, the Statler Brothers, Porter Wagner
