I just got into Merle a few months ago... some real good music. I probably haven't hear as many of his songs as many of you, but I think I've got enough to narrow it down into a pretty good collection of music:

1. Mama Tried
2. Okie From Muskogee
3. Big City
4. The Fightin' Side Of Me
5. I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink
6. I'm A Lonesome Fugitive
7. Branded Man
8. Bar Room Buddies (w/ Clint Eastwood, who is one of my favorite actors)
9. Daddy Frank
10. Yesterday's Wine (w/ George Jones)

This is a totally impossible task. Weeding this down to ten songs is like deciding which are your favorite teeth - except for the wisdom teeth, they are all essential

I limited myself to singles, but there are so many great album cuts as well
