That much I agree with, and is part of the reason I can’t listen to it.

I haven’t heard the Sting version. I’ll have to check it out. I’d never guess that his version might be better, since I actually don’t think he adds positively to Keith’s recording.

It’s a shame that Sting got relegated to a “gratuitous” cameo on Keith’s version, as Sting’s original version blows it out of the water, and is far more country to boot. I can’t listen to Keith’s version because of it.

Really pleased to see the Robert Ellis Orral song, that was always one of my favorites. Surprised that the Travis Tritt song didn’t make the T100, going to be very interested in seeing the rest of the list.

I agree, K. Toby Keith did some pretty good songs in the old days, but now he’s gone from “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” to “fat dog, skinny dog, little itty bitty dog…” It really is sad.

Love the Tim and Travis selections. I used to love Toby Keith- he’s gone so far off the deep-end it’s sad. He’s probably got the best male voice in country music.

Kenny Chesney in the 90′s may have had a “run-of-the-mill” 90′s sound, but man was he enjoyable to listen to. Not just a few singles worth of listenable, good material like Fall in Love or Me and You, but entire albums worth of good country. I wish for an album, hell a single, Kenny would rediscover his 90′s sound and allow us to hear Kenny Chesney, the talent, good, country artist.

I love the harmonies on “Go Rest High.” They really make the chorus soar the way that a song of this nature needs to.

But I’ve always found the opening verse awkward. “You were no stranger to the rain” is a clumsy way to point out it’s a tribute to Whitley, IMO, and it compromises the universality of the sentiment a bit for me.

There’s no doubt that “Go Rest High” has a great impact and it’s one of Vince’s career songs, but it’s not among my personal favorite Gill songs either. It’s never done anything for me for some reason.

I’m guessing that might change as we get to the higher ranked songs. I was actually surprised how many songs I liked when we were still in the 300s. Probably 80% of them.
