Dixie Chicks
-Long Time Gone – their comeback song.
-Travelin Solider- it was dealt with war when America was in war, and also has ties to their rise and how the single tumbled off the charts after the comment.
-Top Of The World – this should have been a single and it’s a shame that many other people have not heard this masterpiece.
-Not Ready To Make Nice- it is their best artistic statement.
-Voice Inside My Head – one of their best songs of 00′s.

Lee Ann Womack
-I Hope You Dance – with it’s popularity and great statement, I would still consider this the song that defined the 00′s.
-Something Worth Leaving Behind- another great statement dealing with life, and an overlooked hit.
-Twenty Years & Two Husbands Ago – One of Womack’s best sad songs.

Trisha
-Georgia Rain – probably the best known song from Trisha of the 00′s and a great song.
-Let The Wind Chase You, Dreaming Fields, and Sing You Back To Me, are some of her best songs of the decade.

Reba
-I’m A Survivor- her show’s theme song and a early hit of the decade.
-I’m Gonna Take That Mountain, Somebody, and He Gets That for Me, are her other signature hits of the decade.
-For this last quarter of the decade I’d say The Only Promise That Remains and Because Of You.

LeAnn Rimes
-I Need You – Probably her best single from the early part of the decade.
- Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way – I’d say this was her best sad song.
- Nothin’ Better To Do – signature comeback song.
-What I Cannot Change – speaks for itself.

Shania Twain
-It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing – her best sad song in of the decade.
-Forever And For Always – her best song of the decade so far :)

Garth Brooks
-When You Come Back To Me Again – after he lost his mom, this was one of the best songs of the decade in tribute of the ones you lose.
-Wild Horses(don’t know if this counts but it was released as a single in 2000.)
-Wrapped Up In You and Why Ain’t I Running, they speak for themselves.
-More Than A Memory – I’d peg this one as his signature one of the decade, as it was his biggest hit.

Faith Hill
-Breathe(it became a hit in 2000 as someone said so I’d consider it her signature song for the decade.)
-Cry, When The Lights Go Down, Stronger, and You’re Still Here are the best songs off her Cry album, and her best sad songs of the decade.
-Stealing Kisses and Like We Never Loved At All seem like other signature hits of hers.

Tim McGraw
-My Next Thirty Years, Angry All The Time, The Cowboy In Me, Red Ragtop, Live Like You Were Dying are the best out of the decade for me.

Taylor Swift
-”Tim McGraw” – it talks about a country artist, and is a great song.
-”Teardrops On My Guitar” – it’s a great anthem for the people that don’t get the girl or guy.
Even thought “Love Story” looks like her big hit of the decade, I’m banking on “You’re Not Sorry” to beat that one out, as it is one of Taylor’s finest hours.

Carrie Underwood
“Before He Cheats” – like Gretchen had done in 2004, Carrie brought woman back to country music after a long hiatus with a great anthem for woman who have been done wrong.
“Jesus Take The Wheel” – even though it wasn’t as big as a hit it still is one of her best songs so far.
“Wasted” – A great follow-up to “Before He Cheats”
“Just A Dream” – country is known for it’s cheating songs, but the ones about a loved one that’s best are much better, which Carrie captures in this fine effort.

Martina McBride
Blessed – I’d pry consider this her signature hit of the 00′s, and a great hit.
When God Fearin Woman Get The Blues – it may not have been a major hit but it certainly added some sass to Martina’s catalog.
Concrete Angel – this brought child abuse to the forefront in 2003, and made us all realize that we should be more proactive about protecting children.
This One’s For The Girls – when radio was booming with men, Martina released this song for another anthem to the girls.

Other Alan and Toby songs mentioned I also agree with.

That’s it for me, and man I realized how long this post is. Does this count as spam? :/
