I got my father a Dwight Yoakam (I don't remember the spelling either) set for Christmas. The guy's got skills (though he's not exactly my cup of tea...'Cept a few songs...).

Lee Greenwood is patriotic and all... but I still prefer Toby as an artist. Toby might be milking the whole "I'm American, love me" thing but he atleast does other stuff. Unlike Lee who had semi-big patriotic hit, went away for 16 years and came back with the same song. Toby has some good non-patriotic songs.

His muscular chest aside, Kenny Chesney has recorded some of the best songs over the past decade or so (The Good Stuff, Alot of Things Different, How Forever Feels, That's Why I'm Here just to name a few.) And come on, you can't say the guy is bad because you don't think he compares to people like Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash, the man's not a legend or anything. And how Dwight Yoakham makes it on a list with those names is beyond me. He has some pretty good songs but he is nowhere near anyone else you mentioned. But give Kenny 10 more years or so and see where he ranks.

As for Kenny Chesney: He doesn't hold a candle to Hank Williams, Dwight Yoakem (sp?), George Strait, George Jones, Alabama (Though I have to forgive them for the Nsync cover), Verne Gosden (sp?), Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, OR Merle Haggard. Not to mention quite a few others that I'm neglecting to mention. Hell, compared to III, he's a joke. III brings together rednecks and metalheads. It's really only a matter of time until he gets the opportunity to combine the two genres he dabbles in and create something that changes music. What's Kenny Chesney to accomplish? Getting a bunch of teeny boppers to swoon over his muscular chest.

And as for Chesney being the Next Garth Brooks? Heh, Kenny Chesney is to Garth Brooks what Little Texas is to Alabama.
I'm not a fan of Toby Keith because he's a patriot. I was a fan of his before he started milking this whole "I'm American, love me" thing. He has some great non-patriotic songs if he could just get back to it.

Also, despite Kenny Chesney's muscular chest, he has released some of the best songs over the past decade or so (The Good Stuff, Alot of Things Different, How Forever Feels, That's Why I'm Here just to name a few). You can't say he's bad just because he doesn't compare to Georige Strait, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, or Hank Williams. That's basically like saying you have to be a legend to be good.

Also, how Dwight Yoakham made it on the list with those guys is beyond me. He has a few good song but wow... putting him in the same list as those other guys is almost sacreligious. Kenny Chesney deserves to be up there much more than he does. Besides, Kenny is much closer to Garth already than Little Texas ever was to Alabama.

I like Bonnie Prince Billy.

Or rather his album "I See a Darkness".

Could it be that I wasn't intentionally listing legends, mayhaps? I like Dwight's sound, which is closer to the traditional sound. Maybe I should have picked Randy Travis? *shrugs* As for Kenny being closer to Garth, no. I've seen both do live performances: Garth is really High Energy, Kenny is just walking around doing the "Hook 'em Horns" sign (unless he was going for the devil sign, same thing, but it's different context...). I know, it's because Kenny Chesney doesn't look like a hair metal band reject, like all of Little Texas did. Chesney is instead doing an impression of Jimmy Buffet.

I have been to a Kenny Chesney concert and the man is entertaining. Garth's live performances can't be matched really but like I said... Kenny has released a ton of the best songs over the past few years which should count for something.

And I thought that was sarcasm but if you are really saying that Kenny is as close to Garth as Little Texas was to Alabama you are insane. Little Texas was pretty much the definition of "Flash in the pan".

Garth Brooks is great. Anything you can find is great. I like In Pieces, Fresh Horses, and No Fences the best though.

George Strait is really really good as well. If you could find his 50 #1 Hits collection, that's a great place to start.

Randy Travis - Old 8x10 is my favorite album, but find the Very Best of Randy Travis collection.

Clint Black - One Emotion is my favorite of his albums.

Alan Jackson - try to avoid his more recent stuff, but his pre-2000 output is good stuff.

Toby Keith - Any album before "Unleashed".

Kenny Chesney - Anything before No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems (when he tried to become a Buffett rip off)

Johnny Cash - Absolutely everything is great.

Kind of a short overview.
