This is NOT fair. She is my favorite artist BY FAR.
It is more than impossible to come up with a list of 5 and 5. I'll try to list 10 favorite and 5 not-favorites.
Ok, now that I'm looking through her songs more. How bout I list my favorite couple from each album?
Blue: Best - Hurt Me. Honestly. Fade To Blue. Not Best - Good Lookin Man
Unchained Melody: Best - River Of Love. Broken Wing. Yesterday. Not Best - Share My Love is by FAR her worst song she's recorded, IMO.
You Light Up My Life: Best - The Rose Not Best - None, really.
Sittin On Top Of The World: Best - Feels Like Home. These Arms Of Mine. When Am I Gonna Get Over You. Insensitive. All The Lovin And Hurtin. Not Best - Rock Me, I guess.
LeAnn Rimes: Best - All of them.
I Need You: Best - One Of These Days. Soon. You Are.
Twisted Angel: Best - Life Goes On. The Safest Place. Damn. Review My Kisses. No Way Out. Love Is An Army. You Made Me Find Myself. Even though I liked her before this, this album turned me into the huge LeAnn fan that I am now.
Greatest Hits: Best - The Last Thing On My Mind. This Love.
This Woman: Best - The whole entire album!
Whatever We Wanna: Best - Every single song
EDIT: Seriously though, if I had to pick a favorite from each album or just a top 10, I wouldn't be able to do it.

If anyone is interested, which I doubt, but I'm bored and wanted to - I copied my iTunes page with the top LeAnn songs on my iPod and uploaded it. Hey, I was bored!

Yeah I can't chose. This is too hard.
But I think my favorite LeAnn Rimes song is either
A) I Fall To Pieces B) Leaving On Your Mind C) Crazy D) Nothin' Better To Do

I can't believe how many have I Need You in the bottom. It's actually probably her best vocal performance along with Some People.

Off the top of my head without consulting any of my Leann Rimes CDs or looking at others' lists: (but not necessarily in order, just top 5 and bot 5)
TOP:
1. I Need You 2. Love Is An Army 3. Nothin' Better To Do 4. Me and Bobby McGhee 5. Somethin's Gotta Give
BOTTOM:
1. Can't Fight The Moonlight 2. But I do Love You 3. Big Deal 4. Tic Toc
I agree with Bigbluenote, for the most part, though. Even a "bad" Leann Rimes song can be very good. Have a nice day!

Okay since I've adored LeAnn for almost 11 years, I'm allowed to pick 10 tops and 5 bottoms. It's only fair. And since I've seen her live 16 times, I can base my answers on live performances as well. And there's no way I can limit this to singles, because naturally I listen to the entire catalog. hahaha TOP1. Love Is An Army 2. How Do I Live 3. One Of These Days 4. What I Cannot Change 5. The Weight Of Love 6. Something's Gotta Give 7. Long Night 8. And It Feels Like 9. I Want You With Me (Acoustic) 10. Nothin' Better To Do BONUS: Summertime (Live) BOTTOM1. I Got It Bad 2. Together, Forever, Always 3. Break Me Down 4. This Life 5. Cattle Call

this is a hard one, she has released so many good songs:
top 5:
1. Probably Wouldn't Be This Way- heartbreaking vocals
2. Can't Fight The Moonlight- great song, in both the slow and fast formats. did so much for her European career
3. And It Feels Like- perfect pop
4. Some People- great track that deserved to chart higher
5. With You- Great, cathy and fun
bottom 5:
1. blue moon of kentucky
2. Twisted Angel- just didn't sound right
3. Tic Toc- didn't work
4. Last Thing On My Mind- doesn't really have a peak in the song
5. share my love

Top 10:
1. Something's Gotta Give 2. Nothin' Better To Do 3. Probably Wouldn't Be This Way 4. Nothin' New Under the Moon 5. Blue 6. The Light In Your Eyes 7. Nothin' Bout Love Makes Sense 8. Put a Little Holiday In Your Heart 9. On the Side of Angels 10. One Way Ticket
Bottom 5:
1. But I Do Love You 2. I Need You 3. Commitment 4. How Do I Live 5. well, 4 is enough -- was Tic Toc a single? That would qualify.
Her bad songs are really bad, but there's no denying her great talent and her remarkable ability to understand and put across songs, which she could do even when she was very young.

Well, this is a good chance to go over Kenny's music before I see him in concert tomorrow (like I don't know his songs well enough haha).
TOP 1. I Go Back (This is actually my favorite song by anyone so I'm gonna ramble on about it a little bit. First of all, it reminds me of a midtempo "The Song Remembers When." I love songs like that. My favorite thing about "I Go Back" is the references to classic rock songs - John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane," Don McLean's "American Pie," Steve Miller Band's "Rock 'N Me," and Billy Joel's "Only The Good Die Young." I also love the imagery and the fact that Kenny wrote the song without any co-writers. I could probably write an essay on this song, but I'll stop here.) 2. Young 3. How Forever Feels 4. The Good Stuff 5. Anything But Mine 6. Keg In The Closet 7. Don't Happen Twice 8. There Goes My Life 9. Never Wanted Nothing More (this could move up...too early to tell) 10. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems 11. Beer In Mexico 12. Summertime 13. She's Got It All 14. Big Star 15. The Woman With You 16. Living In Fast Forward 17. You Save Me 18. What I Need To Do 19. I Lost It 20. When The Sun Goes Down (I could go on, but I'm limiting myself to 20 since that's how many Ten Pound Hammer had)
BOTTOM (I don't dislike any of these songs, but they're my least favorites) 1. I Will Stand 2. A Chance 3. A Lot Of Things Different 4. The Tin Man 5. Grandpa Told Me So
Top Album Tracks 1. Back Where I Come From (a concert staple for him, and one of my favorites songs to hear in concert) 2. Boston (Since I'm a Red Sox fanatic who lives less than an hour from Boston, there's no way I could dislike a song from my favorite artist titled "Boston" which mentions a "Red Sox cap." It was amazing to hear people singing along with this song at last year's Boston concert.) 3. Live Those Songs (another concert staple) 4. The Road & The Radio (would've made a great sixth single from his last album) 5. Never Gonna Feel That Way Again (a #1 quality song that was never released)
