I say it in regards to the music, but not the people who sing it. Of course, there a few bad apples, but painting country music and its artists with such a negative broad stroke is mildly offensive to me.

Although making many gross generalizations and horrible assumptions in an incredibly ineloquent post, Humpty Hump did bring up one point that was interesting to me. He’s right, I am actually more embarrassed to say I’m a country fan today than I was in the 90s. I usually have to follow up a statement like, “I like country music,” with “but not…”

This list shows that there used to be good songs in country music. But not anymore. Country music has sold out the the Jesus freaks and the redneck morons and the degenerates like Jamey Johnson and the racists like Buddy Jewell. Sadly the religion and racism go together. I could appreciate Pam Tillis and Hal Ketchum. But country music now seems to be targeting drunks, rednecks, racists, religious whackadoos and other people who aren’t worthy of respect. Its embarrassing to say you are a country fan cuz people might put you in that group. I used to like country music but now I hate it and what it stands for.

We did. The big difference for me was that I could listen to all 400 of these and enjoy them, including the many that weren’t on my personal list. The 2000-2009 list, I get easily tired of some of the ones that I included on my own list!

Heck of a list! Thanks for all the work put into it and thanks for the memories.
LOVE all the Pam Tillis, Trisha, Patty, and Chapin love, among others. Looking back, it’s encouraging to see what encouraging and brilliant work women were contributing in the ’90s. The songs were smart, effective, and truly memorable. It wasn’t all about “find the next blonde to sing about blah, blah, blah…”. Their work was admirable and so much that it’s still appreciated and sought out today.

Suffice it to say, good luck on finding even 100 *best of* ’00 “country” songs.

Just wanted to say thanks for this series. As a relative newbie to the genre this has been a wonderful journey through the archives of country music.
