Might as well get in on the action and see what George Strait songs we like or dislike. There are lots of songs to choose from by George so here goes. BTW: I like all of George's songs but these I like or just pass on.
Like:
1. The Chair 2. The Cowboy Rides Away 3. Love Without End, Amen 4. Oceanfront Property 5. All My Exes Live In Texas 6. I Got A Car 7. Unwound 8. River Of Love 9. Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye 10. Murder On Music Row (with Alan Jackson)
Pass (don't care for much):
1. I Believe 2. The Breath You Take 3. Run 4. Desperately 5. Twang

Ok, unpopular opinion time: I'm not a fan of George Strait at all. In fact, I actually consider him the most overrated country artist of all time (I'll expect my Pulse banning any minute now, haha). That being said, he does have some songs that I like.
Top:
1. Check Yes Or No 2. Blue Clear Sky 3. Carrying Your Love With Me 4. One Night At A Time 5. True 6. Ocean Front Property 7. Amarillo By Morning 8. Write This Down 9. I Just Want To Dance With You 10. If You Can Do Anything Else 11. The Best Day 12. Love Without End Amen 13. Living And Living Well 14. I Cross My Heart 15. Desperately
Bottom:
1. Twang 2. Don't Make Me Come Over There And Love You 3. Meanwhile 4. Today My World Slipped Away 5. River Of Love

Top 10 1. Carrying Your Love with Me 2. Write This Down 3. Troubadour 4. Drinkin' Man 5. Twang 6. Blue Clear Sky 7. Give It Away 8. I Can Still Make Cheyenne 9. Carried Away 10. Run
Bottom 5 1. The Breath You Take 2. I Believe 3. River of Love 4. I Just Want to Dance with You 5. Easy Come, Easy Go
The Bottom 5 was hard. He just has so few songs that I don't like.

Still like the idea for Ten Pound Hammer to start all these threads once a week so there isn't a billion of them clogging up the sub-board, but I'll play along for the King of Country Music. :) Top: 1. I Can Still Make Cheyenne (This is probably in my top 20 songs ever in country music) 2. Blue Clear Sky 3. I Got A Car 4. Amarillo By Morning 5. You'll Be There 6. Carried Away 7. I Hate Everything 8. Living And Living Well 9. Love Without End, Amen 10. I Saw God Today 11. Drinkin' Man 12. Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind 13. The Best Day 14. You Know Me Better Than That 15. True 16. Heartland 17. Run 18. Carrying Your Love With Me 19. Ocean Front Property 20. Famous Last Words Of A Fool 21. Desperately 22. It Just Comes Natural 23. Texas 24. Living For The Night 25. The Chill Of An Early Fall Honorable Mention: 1. Murder On Music Row (Never intended to be played on radio let alone a single, so I'll put it here) Bottom: 1. We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This 2. The Breath You Take (I'm all for slower type of sentimental songs, but my goodness gracious this was a new kind of slow) 3. The Fireman 4. Lovebug 5. River Of Love (I actually never hated this but it was certainly at the bottom of what he's released)

For the record, my intent was to start a new one every week, but if you guys want to start your own, that's fine too.
TOP
1. You'll Be There (was I the only one who got on board with this? It seems to be just "there" for everyone else) 2. Give It Away 3. So Much Like My Dad 4. I Can Still Make Cheyenne 5. Run 6. I Got a Car 7. Baby's Gotten Good at Goodbye 8. You Know Me Better Than That 9. I'd Like to Have That One Back (you'd think I'd hate this one for its unoriginal lyrics, but somehow it's greater than the sum of its parts) 10. The Best Day 11. The Chill of an Early Fall 12. I Hate Everything 13. Here for a Good Time 14. Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa 15. Meanwhile 16. Living for the Night 17. She Let Herself Go 18. Marina del Rey 19. The Chair 20. Amarillo by Morning 21. Drinking Champagne 22. Love Without End, Amen 23. You Look So Good in Love 24. Easy Come, Easy Go 25. Carrying Your Love with Me
HONORABLE MENTIONS I don't listen to a lot of his albums, so I'm not familiar with a lot of his album cuts. 1. Designated Drinker (see my mention in the Alan Jackson thread) 2. Stars on the Water (the Auto-Tune works surprisingly well here) 3. Hollywood Squares (I'm a sucker for a terrible pun) 4. Christmas Cookies (one of the few Christmas songs I don't get tired of hearing every year) 5. Murder on Music Row 6. El Rey (recording this really took balls) 7. Wonderland of Love 8. Beautiful Day for Goodbye (missed single opportunity) 9. Beyond the Blue Neon 10. Trains Make Me Lonesome
BOTTOM
1. I Cross My Heart 2. River of Love 3. Let's Fall to Pieces Together (I find the first two lines incredibly contrived) 4. I Know She Still Loves Me (I don't get the title) 5. Desperately 6. Troubadour (good song concept, but there's way too little meat on it) 7. It Ain't Cool to Be Crazy About You 8. Nobody in His Right Mind Would've Left Her (both this and #7 are just "eh") 9. The Man in Love with You (aka "I Cross My Heart Part II") 10. Lovesick Blues (not that bad but kinda pointless, and had no business as a single)

It seems to be just "there" for everyone else) It made my top 5 too. :) I always loved "You'll Be There". The first verse really pulled me in with the lyrics and production.

1. You'll Be There (was I the only one who got on board with this? It seems to be just "there" for everyone else) It was in my favorites, too. Absolutely beautiful lyrics and a very moving and sincere vocal performance from George. I'm glad to see someone else likes "So Much Like My Dad" too.

I'm gonna go 25 deep so I don't look ridiculous (and sabre set that bar), but there are legitimately 50+ songs I'd put in my top 1,000 or so from all artists.
1. Drinkin' Man 2. Murder on Music Row 3. I Got A Car 4. I Can Still Make Cheyenee 5. My Life's Been Grand 6. You'll Be There 7. The Road Less Traveled 8. Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind 9. Amarillo By Morning 10. Marina del Rey 11. Give It Away 12. The Chair 13. I Saw God Today 14. I Ain't Her Cowboy Anymore 15. Overnight Success (I know I am the only one who likes this one) 16. When the Credits Roll 17. Give It All We Got Tonight (I know most view this as just OK, but definitely among career bests for me) 18. Sittin' on the Fence 19. Troubadour 20. Today My World Slipped Away 21. Blue Clear Sky 22. The Breath You Take (Another one where I am all alone) 23. Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa 24. Fool Hearted Memory 25. The Seashores of Old Mexico HM Singles: Run; Chill of an Early Fall; Cowboy Rides Away; Carried Away; I Believe; Love Without End, Amen; If I Know Me; Unwound Other Notables in my top 50: Milk Cow Blues (must mention as I have now seen it trashed twice in a week), Hollywood Squares, I'll Always Remember You
37 songs (including Christmas) I have a negative opinion of which really isn't all that many. I'll just list the really bad non-Christmas ones. 1. Big Ball's in Cowtown 2. Texas 3. I Thought I Heard My Heart Sing 4. Baby Your Baby 5. High Tone Woman 6. That's My Kind of Woman 7. I've got a Funny Feeling 8. That Don't Change The Way I Feel About You 9. Don't Mind If I Do
Worst Singles 1. River of Love 2. Lovesick Blues (just an awful cover. Stick to Haggard) ---(Big Gap) 3. Love's Gonna Make It Alright ---(Small Gap) 4. If You Can Do Anything Else 5. Lovebug
Hard to believe I am talking about those as bad songs though.

Major props on including "When The Credits Roll" - that's a great song. I also love "The Road Less Traveled" - both of those songs narrowly missed my list.

Top 15:
01 "Run" 02 "Living And Living Well" 03 "The Best Day" 04 "True" 05 "Write This Down" 06 "Check Yes Or No" 07 "I Got A Car" 08 "She'll Leave You With A Smile" 09 "Cowboys Like Us" 10 "Blue Clear Sky" 11 "Carrying Your Love With Me" 12 "Carried Away" 13 "Ocean Front Property" 14 "What Do You Say To That" 15 "Amarillo By Morning"
Bottom 5:
01 "River Of Love" 02 "I Gotta Get To You" 03 "The Breath You Take" 04 "Don't Make Me Come Over There And Love You" 05 "You'll Be There"
Admittedly, I'm not very familiar with the first 10-12 years of George's catalog, as most of it was pre-my-birth. But it's like that with pretty much every musician for me...hopefully some day I can really dig into some older stuff. But for now these are my lists. As for the bottom 5, much like with Alan Jackson, I don't really dislike any of these songs, they're just my least favorite from George. "River Of Love" and "I Gotta Get To You" burned on me really fast and I still find both of them pretty annoying, but I don't flat-out dislike them.

Is this even legal?
Anyways, going to give this a go and sticking with top 5/bottom 5 (singles only) theme no matter how difficult. These don't quite reflect my favorites or least favorites by George, just songs that struck me as very strong singles:
Top 5:
1. Blue Clear Sky (how is he seriously not singing this live on the last tour :/) 2. Run 3. Ocean Front Property 4. I've Come To Expect It From You 5. Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye (classic George)
ok, how about a runner-up encore:
6. Meanwhile (seriously, such a great overlooked track by George) 7. So Much Like My Dad (again, overlooked classic) 8. When Did You Stop Loving Me 9. Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her 10. Drinkin' Man (or if "Poison" had gotten released, that tune here)
Phew...moving on
Bottom 5:
1. The Chair (let the rumbles begin...I don't know if I've just heard this one too many times, but I often hit skip on this tune :/) 2. The Man In Love With You 3. Lovesick Blues (why was this ever a single?) 4. Don't Make Me Come Over There and Love You 5. You're Something Special To Me

I remember my father thinking I was crazy for not loving that George tune. I only saw George live once in 2010. He ended up singing both "Blue Clear Sky" and "I Can Still Make Cheyenne". He could have sang just about anything he wanted the rest of the night. I could die happy knowing I got to see those two performed. :)

^Ok, good then it's not just me. I will admit that "The Chair" is (well now was) usually my bathroom break song during George's show. I knew that everyone would be singing along with it and thought it was the perfect time to escape lol.
I almost put "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" up there. My top/bottom 5 is very fluid.

So I made a playlist on Spotify of all of George's hits in order, and it has literally taken me about two weeks to get through! He is also my favorite male artist, so I am going to have so much trouble doing this list... I do not dislike a single thing he has ever done... 94 songs released to radio, and not a single station changer for me... So here goes nothing!
Top: 1) Run 2) Blue Clear Sky 3) True 4) I Saw God Today 5) Today My World Slipped Away 6) I'd Like To Have That One Back 7) I Cross My Heart 8) Living And Living Well 9) Heartland 10) Nobody In His Right Mind Would Have Left Her 11) So Much Like My Dad 12) Fool Hearted Memory 13) The Chair 14) Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye 15) I Can Still Make Cheyenne 16) Cowboys Like Us 17) Living For The Night 18) She'll Leave You With A Smile 19) It Just Comes Natural 20) One Night At A Time
Literally everything else is an honorable mention, but those are just some of my all-time favorites that I think are absolute masterpieces (and I definitely could have extended that list to 30 or 40...).
Bottom 5: I do not actually dislike any of these songs, they are just not as great as his usual stuff is. 5) Am I Blue (I just don't like this song that much. Not really sure why!) 4) All My Ex's Live In Texas (This song is SO OVERPLAYED and also so overrated. It is definitely a cute song, but it has not worn on me particularly well.) 3) Drinking Champagne (Also just somewhat boring. It is definitely not a bad song, it is just one of his few where I can definitely see why it didn't go #1.) 2) You're Something Special To Me (This song has just never stood out to me. Out of all of his early singles, this one has literally nothing to set it apart from the others, aside from the fact that it is not nearly as good as them.) 1) The Breath You Take (Not a bad song, but I am never in the mood for it. It is so slow and boring! It would have been great if it had only stayed as an album track, and a catchier song had been released in its place)

Top 1. Love Without End, Amen 2. It Just Comes Natural (love this whole album, including the album cut That's My Kind of Woman - which shoulda been a single) 3. Write This Down 4. Living For The Night 5. I Got A Car/Designated Drinker (tie) Bottom 1. River of Love 2. Twang 3. Seashores of Old Mexico 4. Troubador I can't believe my Top 5. While I still love all these songs, where are "Drinkin' Man" and "Run"?? And frankly, "That's My Kind of Woman" too. Those are by far the three George Strait songs I play most often. I can play DM a good three to four times in a row and not tire of it. I really need to dig deeper into his albums - he has so many, I really don't know where to start. New Top 5 1. Drinkin' Man (by a mile, this song is just incredible) 2. Run 3. It Just Come Natural 4. Love w/o End, Amen 5. Living for the Night/That's My Kind of Woman (Tie) Same bottom 4 and throw in The Breath You Breathe (a real snoozer)

I wonder if we'll ever get another album from George with new music. I haven't heard anything in forever regarding this except for the five album deal he signed which still has a few albums left on it.

Well the last one was released out of nowhere so he could do that again.

I myself have also been wondering why George hasn’t released a new album yet, but I think there are some contributing factors to whatever delay there might be.
First and foremost is Hurricane Harvey which ended up decimating parts of the Texas Gulf Coast with Rockport taking a brunt of the hit. While most people outside of Texas think of San Antonio as being his home he actually has a residence in Rockport that took on a lot of damage (George listed his Dominon mansion in San Antonio for sale early last year as well as other properties). Since then George has become the face of the recovery effort including hosting a relief concert last year as well as most recently lending a voice to the “Come Back” rebuilding effort for the Rockport community which saw him being featured in numerous radio/tv ads throughout the state.
Second are his business ventures including Código 1530 tequila and Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort which was also impacted by a major fire in late 2017. Needless to say I think George has spent a lot of time refocusing his efforts on giving back to a state that has given him so much.
With all that said I’m spoiled and got to see him at his summer concert here in Austin so yea lol. George never forgets about his fans so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if an album is in the works.

He added a March 30tb show in Atlanta at Mercedes Benz Stadium, so maybe something is cooking.
