Top Tens: Conway Twitty

[JR Journey]

Continuing on our top tens by favorite artists discussion, here are my 10 favorite Conway Twitty songs ... I only included his solo songs and left out duets with Loretta Lynn because I could have easily put 30 or 40 Conway songs on here. What are your favorite Conway cuts?

You've Never Been This Far Before
This Time I've Hurt Her More (Than She Loves Me)
Don't Take It Away
She Only Meant To Use Him
Something Strange Got Into Her Last Night
A Bridge That Just Won't Burn
Tight Fittin Jeans
Somebody's Needin Somebody
Don't Call Him A Cowbody
Saturday Night Special

A couple of my favorites with Loretta are:
After The Fire Is Gone
Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man
I Still Believe In Waltzes (Conway recorded this solo, but I like their duet better)

[Razor X]

1. Hello, Darlin'
2. Don't Cry, Joni
3. Fifteen Years Ago
4. I May Never Get To Heaven
5. Goodbye Time
6. She's Got A Single Thing In Mind
7. I Don't Know A Thing About Love
8. That's My Job
9. Tight Fittin' Jeans
10. Don't Call Him A Cowboy

It's so hard to narrow this down to just ten songs. When Tight Fittin' Jeans came out in 1981, my parents wouldn't let me listen to it because they thought the lyrics were too suggestive.

This whole thread is really unfair, because the more I think about it, the more I realize that it's just not possible to sum up Conway Twitty in ten songs. I don't recall ever hearing a song from him that I didn't like -- except perhaps for a couple of his earlier rock 'n' roll efforts. Just out of curiosity, I checked to see what the ten most played Conway songs in my iPod were. Here's what I got:

1. Goodbye Time
2. Hello Darlin'
3. The Games That Daddies Play
4. We Had It All
5. She's Got A Single Thing In Mind
6. I See The Want To In Your Eyes
7. Clinging To A Saving Hand
8. We Did But Now You Don't
9. Fifteen Years Ago
10. How Much More Can She Stand

[Peter Durward Harris]

In no particular order

It's only make believe
You've never been this far before
Linda on my mind
The grandest lady of them all
Hello darlin'
I'm not through loving you yet
You're the reason our kids are so ugly (with Loretta)
I wish I was still in your dreams
Boogie grass band
The games that daddies play

Conway is hands down, my all time favorite singer to listen to. My parents raised me up on Conway and I continue to listen to him to this day. We had family vacations going to his concerts and down to Twitty City growing up. So with that...here are my favorite Conway hits...I can't put them in particular order because they are all personal favorites:

Tight Fittin Jeans - At a young age I loved this song even if I didn't have a clue at the time what it meant. haha.
Lost In the Feeling
I'm The Only Thing (I'll Hold Against You)
There's a Honky Tonk Angel Who'll Let Me Back In
Hello Darlin
Don't Take It Away
Boogie Grass Band
Who's Gonna Know
Don't Call Him a Cowboy
We Had It All

[Razor X]

Tight Fittin Jeans - At a young age I loved this song even if I didn't have a clue at the time what it meant. haha.

Same here. My parents wouldn't let me listen to it, which made me like it even more.

It's Only Make Believe
Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man (w/ Loretta)
