I have been working on a major project the last several days with our rather sizable country music collection running in the background. Listening to all those great songs, many of which have been featured on this thread, I have come to a conclusion.

No country song has the power to move me as does Garth Brooks' "The Dance". (Not available on Youtube that I can find.) I nominate that as the best country song of all time.

A close runner up would be Brooks' "Rodeo" though. Great song.

the dance is fine but i prefer the old tradition country....over modern stuff...

I agree with Johnny Cash's ring of fire but also throw into the mix The Man Comes Around.

Non Johnny Cash, Landslide.

To me this is the best country song ever made.

Agree/Disagree?

Did you ever see the Zac Brown Band sing the song during the 2009 CMA awards show? Here is their awesome performance of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia".

P.S. I don't know if it will matter to you, but they sing the uncensored copy of the song there.

Such a sad but true song. Also he stopped loving her today
