gretchen wilson may or may not be the epitomy of a lady but smashing a woman who supposedly bought you drinks and even went into a somewhat doggy competion with you, only implies that your style and manners are not much to write home about either. are you sure you spelt your name correctly and do you have any prove of that encounter?

Ok. I saw her for five bucks a couple weeks ago at the worst venue in a rural area. Then she bought me shots and beer after the show. Then she bet me she could hit the spitoon more times out of ten and she lost, so yep, she did it right there by the bar and I'm sorry to say, there was an odor.

I think it isn't extreme to say that everyone, and I mean everyone who listens to any music today knows Garth Brooks, so why waste a spot on the list. It is hipper to say "he sucks," anyway. And Gretchen's inclusion allows people to say she's "the bad girl of country music" knowingly, even though she is more accurately remembered as being uncreative, vulgar and lacking talent. To see Gretchen Wilson on the list but not Garth is simply farcical.

It was a good debut album, but never should have been included in this list. Big and Rich's album is also a bit puzzling, though there are several songs on their album that need to be remembered for sheer originality. Still, it seems like John Rich was whispering in the writer's ear here. As for Garth, I'd say either Fresh Horses or Ropin' The Wind- both of which I could, and have listened to over and over since they were released. Jim,

I even sometimes forget that he has several songs that arent in the top echelon his hits that I still to this day listen to and think stand the test of time with fortitude. "Much Too Young", "Shameless", "That Summer" and "Beaches of Cheyenne" are cuts that will live in my ipod, regardless of how Brooks' legacy is seen viewed, now or in the future. Good points, Jim.

I think this is true with Garth, whose legend is so large that many people now find it hard to take his music seriously. I wonder if this is especially true with the critical element, which revels in that which is new and "edgy". Garth isn't edgy anymore...he's one of the biggest artists in history. There's little glory in defending that which is already massively popular. It's is a shame, too, because the man made some fantastic and diverse records. He made some <em>great</em> records. I've said this before, but I still think <em>Fresh Horses</em> is damn near perfect. To see Gretchen Wilson on the list but not Garth is simply farcical. "Here For The Party" is a dreadful record.

I agree that a better list would have contained some more borderline type acts, like Reckless Kelly, or Scott Miller and the Commonwealth. I also agree that the greatest hits packages are cheating and found that the omission of Garth Brooks was strange. I have had several people tell me "I don't like country music, but I like Garth Brooks" I think Brad Paisley does belong on such a list though, if only for the guitar work. For that same reason, there needed to be some Chet Atkins on there. By removing the 70's rock bands and focusing a bit more on today's country-rock bands, this list would have a lot more credence.
