Born to Run - Bruce
Allentown - Billy Joel
He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones
Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash

All Country, and except for #10, all from West Texas, where "Old Style" Country lives on. I really like this Music and the People who play it. The local folks here who get together every Saturday night for a "Pickin" session are really into this as well.

To give you an idea of how we feel, here's a Chorus from J.B.Beverly's "Dark Bar and a Jukebox"

"Give me a Dark Bar and a Juke Box
Oh burn that Radio
Toby just don't cut it
Give me Haggard, Give me Coe
And I'm tired of watching Nashville
and it's Washed up Fashion Show
'Cause you won't find no Country
On Country Radio......"

Man, How can I limit this to ten? lol. This won't even be my all time top ten, this is just what's gonna come to mind right now.

Don't Stop Believing-Journey
Spacebound-Eminem
Awake and Alive-Skillet
Back in Black-AC/DC
Tuesday's Gone-Lynard Skynard
Wonderwall-Oasis
Hotel California- The Eagles
Piano Man-Billy Joel
Half-Truism- The Offspring
Lost for Words-Pink Floyd

After typing this up, I'm realizing this is definitely NOT my top ten all time favorites, but more of a sampling of what I listen to. I could go on and on and on. I absolutely love music.
I go on random kicks of an artist. So depending on the week my top ten changes. At the moment I'm on an Eminem kick, couple days ago I was on Pink Floyd and that's all I listened to, week before it was We Are Scientists. Top tens are incredibly difficult lol.

1. Half a Mind.............. Ernest Tubb

2. Steel Guitar Blues..... Roy Acuff

3. The Last Dirt Road... Steel Highway

4. Cannonball Blues..... Hill Country Ramblers
