Rolling Stone just published their list of the best 100 Country Songs.
I only disagree with 25 or 30 of them.
I like David Allen Coe a lot, maybe not as much as this guy from USA Today.
He says-
Rolling Stone‘s list of the 100 Greatest Country Songs of All Time hit the Web today, and while these things always generate furious debates, a select blue-ribbon panel of music experts (aka my Facebook feed) quickly pointed out one jaw-dropping, inexcusable omission — David Allan Coe’s You Never Even Called Me By My Name.

This is unconscionable. How can you leave “the perfect country and Western song” off this list? I mean, these lyrics alone make it No. 1:

Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in the pick-up truck
She got runned over by a damned old train
Listen and learn, Rolling Stone. Maybe you hipsters will wise up and include it in the next go-round.
