Any Lehigh Valley folk out there remember Castle Garden in late 70s early 80s when Country was very popular?
 
A couple of quick thoughts...
Luke Bryon sucks - the epitome of bubble gum country pop

Willie deserves better....all over this list

That Dwight Yoakam first appears at #349 is a travesty

Who the fv€k is Eric Church?

Contemporary artists who should be higher than Eric Church and Luke Bryon - Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, Eli Young Band

Luke Bryan -agree
Willie - agree
D Yoakam - no opinion
Eric Church - WRONG Church is great. Talk about bubble gum country - Brad Paisley
 
I think the older songs have been normalized by time, but the newer stuff is horribly skewed and inflated.

Couple of ways to view this. For true country fans who like the "twang" in their music this new stuff doesn't compare. The other view is country music has exploded in the last 15 years, [just ask Nashville] so in many ways the new performers have created a whole new fan base.

Given the apparent breadth of their view of the country category, what is just bizarre is the complete omission of Lyle Lovett or any of the other truly great Texas artists (Robert earl kean, Townes van zandt, guy Clark). (I recognize lovetts music is a bit eclectic, but really?).

Mother Country. Good enough for Neil Armstrong, good enough for me.

I've never been a big fan of country music, but I always liked "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Great song. It was used well in Urban Cowboy.

What you say does make sense. They should call it a different category though. Calling Sam Hunt country is a pretty big stretch.

It’s interesting that some of the newer guys have ability and soul, but choose to take the easy way out...

I really enjoy this song by Jerrod Newman called Lover, Lover:


I think this is a legit country song. That said, when it came out I heard an interview where he said that the record label was having him write songs with certain keywords that would attract listeners. I think examples were like “tonight” and “party” and other seemingly innocuous phrases. Listening to Luke Bryan’s Drunk on You (#257) today, I wonder whether “moneymaker” was also a phrase that was thought to attract listeners.... I think I’ve heard it a number of times.
 
Many of you nailed it regarding recency bias. I grew up on 80s pop glam, so I have recently enjoyed 'learning' about county as I expand my music vocabulary.

Personal favorites include 'All my exes live in Texas' and anything by Cash or Waylon Jennings.

Way too many recent songs. Very poor list. Must be based on record sales.

There was a crossover country song in the late 70's early 80's which was played over and over for years.

Don't see it in the top 100.

LdN

Yeah, it seems commercial success was a requirement to be on the list. I didn't see the song below ranked but it's a great country song which didn't make a huge dent in the charts. Lots of twang and some nice turns of phrase in a sad sack story about losing a woman. I'm sure he still has his dog though. :(

 
Disappointed the beautiful song he co-wrote for Bonnie Raitt was not on the list ... "I Can't Make You Love Me".
That’s not really a country song as Bonnie Raitt was played on rock, not country stations from what I remember. I agree that it’s a great song though. Also, her style, like the Eagles, has a lot in common with country artists in their era.

His main site has some hilarious content. He LOATHES modern Nashville.

I'm actually heading to Denver on Monday before going to the Rockies for 5 days of hiking. It's been a while, but I'm definitely going to partake on this trip.

That’s a great site to go down the Rabbit Hole. He pulls no punches about “bro country”
Last night I did an internet search for top all time country songwriters, and this site had a list of their top 85. Very interesting reading about some of the lesser know songwriters. I wish they posted content directly to Facebook as I will never think to go there to see what is new. They have a FB page, but I didn’t see much content.
