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.
