If you had to make a "Country Classics" compilation..

[ant]

So this is different from my other thread, because I don't want this to be based off of your personal favorites...

I'm trying to compile a playlist of "country classics" to share with some of my co-workers.  We all take turns playing music at work and some of them are interested in hearing "old-school" country, or songs that are considered to be classics by critics and fans alike.

So if you had to prepare a Country Classics compilation CD/playlist, what would it look like?  What are some songs that every country fan knows/should know, despite whether you like them personally or not?

Include as many songs as you'd like, but I'd like to have at least 50 songs on the playlist.

Wow, thanks for that list!

No Patsy Cline though?  I figured "Crazy" or "I Fall to Pieces" would make the list for women!  This is all subjective though, so thanks again!

Lol whoops my mistake, I'll fix that now. Though I don't remember who was next on my list of women to add so I'll wing it.

Patsy is #6 on the women list. I went with "Walkin' After Midnight" because it was a big hit but isn't as overexposed as "Crazy" or "I Fall To Pieces". I chose for the most part the artists signature song unless like in Patsy's case there was equally good choices that weren't neccessarily their signature. I could've easily put "Sweet Dreams (Of You)" but I always loved "Walkin' After Midnight". :)
