This is hard. Besides #1, my list would likely change daily. Obviously, I prefer his older stuff, though his quality has really not waned on later tunes.
1. Amarillo By Morning
2. Marina Del Rey
3. The Chill of an Early Fall
4. If I Know Me
5. Nobody In His Right Mind Would Have Left Her
6. I Can Still Make Cheyenne
7. What Would Your Memories Do
8. Why Can't I Leave Her Alone
9. Blue Clear Sky
10. Ocean Front Property

Here's another artist who makes it really hard to narrow your favorites down to 10. So I just started listing my absolute favorites and I came up with 15, here they are in (sort of) the order they were released ...

Marina del Rey
A Fire I Can't Put Out
Let's Fall to Pieces Together
Ocean Front Property
If I Know Me
Baby's Gotten Good at Goodbye
I've Come to Expect it From You
You Know Me Better Than That
Easy Come, Easy Go
I Can Still Make Cheyenne
Carried Away
Go On
If You Can Do Anything Else
She'll Leave You With A Smile
I Hate Everything

... and a special honorable mention to his latest 'Troubadour', one of my favorites he's ever recorded already. Strait just gets better and better.

This is a very quick list. I have some of his studio albums but I generally listen to "50 Greatest Hits" which is my "if I was on an island" cd and the boxed set when I want a bit more so these are from those.

1. I Just Wanna Dance With You
2. I Hate Everything
3. Ocean Front Property
4. You Look So Good In Love
5. Heartland
6. I Can Still Make Cheyenne
7. Living and Living Well
8. Fool Hearted Memory
9. Amarillo by Morning
10. 80 Proof Bottle of Tear Stopper

I can agree with just about everything else everyone posted. Long live King George.
