[Peter Durward Harris]

Waylon must have loved MacArthur Park, since he recorded it twice - 1969 and 1976.

[Brody]

It's hard to list the top ten without going back and listening to all his songs again, but I'll take a stab at it:

1. Ride Me Down Easy
2. Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
3. Lonesome, On'ry and Mean
4. Honky Tonk Heroes
5. Good Hearted Woman
6. Luckenbach, Texas
7. Just To Satisfy You
8. Old Five and Dimers
9. Mental Revenge
10. My Ramona (love the Hag's version, too)

[Razor X]

My list would pretty much be the same as Peter's except I'd have to work "Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line" and "Lucille" in there somewhere.

[Occasional Hope]

1. You Ask Me To
2. Dreaming My Dreams With You
3. Amanda
4. The Taker
5. Brown Eyed Handsome Man
6. Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got out Of Hand
7. Good Hearted Woman (with Willie)
8. Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way
9. Just To Satisfy You (with Willie)
10. Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line

[farmersdaughter]

1: Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way
2: Just To Satisfy You
3: Dreaming My Dreams

7: Brown Eyed Handsome Man

[Brody]

It'd be interesting to see what everyone's top tens would look like if the standards ("Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys," "Luchenback, Texas," "Honky Tonk Heroes," etc.) were excluded.

Pancho & Lefty

[Drew]

Pancho & Lefty

That's by Willie & Merle.

[JR Journey]

Oops, so it is. I made my list without listening to any of the songs ... Bad memory I guess.

I'll replace it with 'Mental Revenge' then.

[Kid]

Ok, I can't disagree with any of these lists But I'm surprised that nobody named "Wurlitzer Prize" or "Drinkin' and Dreamin'"

[pwdennis]

Apparently Waylon got talked into recording "Wurlitzer Prize", hated the song and was aghast that it was issued as a single, forcing him to keep performing it in concert.

[Kid]

Wow, that's interesting, I had never heard that. It's always been one of my favorites. Not necessarily one of his best but one that I always felt conveyed a strong emotion and feeling.

[TenPoundHammer]

1. Highwayman
2. Rough and Rowdy Days and Rowdy Days and Rowdy Days and Rowdy Days and...
3. Just to Satisfy You
4. Luckenbach, Texas
5. Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way
6. Good Hearted Woman
7. Will the Wolf Survive
8. Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line
9. Rainy Day Woman
10. Rose in Paradise

I really don't know too many of his songs.
