A favorite of mine. I was so happy when all of his long out of print stuff was finally rereleased in a comprehensive box set last year. I hope all RCA artists get the same treatment.

My first introduction to Ronnie's discography was a cassette tape my mom had laying around the house that happened to be Back to the Grindstone...I've loved that album ever since. My second introduction to Ronnie was seeing him with George Strait in Phoenix on tour. He remains my favorite opening act George has ever had...he killed it.

I love Milsap and from a technical standpoint , consider him the best male vocalist in country music of all time. Even well into his years I thought he out sang many of the artists half his age. Anybody remember Mark Wills embarrassingly trying to keep up with Ronnie on the remake of "Prisoner Of The Highway"? Ouch! He recorded stuff way outside what I considered country (at the time), but I never felt betrayed by him as I have felt when other artists did the same. I want his RCA box set so bad , but just cant bring myself to cough up a hundred bucks when I already have ripped versions of the vinyl. I do wish they would break it up and sell the individual albums on disc though , so I could pick out the earlier albums which were my favorites.
Top
1. Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends (Also in my top three favorite songs of all time)
2. I Hate You (Love the down right bitterness in this one)
3. Houston Solution
4. Nobody Likes Sad Songs
5. Just In Case
6. Snap Your Fingers
7. Don't You Ever Get Tired (Of Hurting Me)
8. Country Again (I forgot this was never released as a single , still cant bring myself to remove it though)
9. Misery Loves Company (Technically a "B-side" but I LOVE the bluesy groove)
10. That Girl Who Waits on Tables
11. Daydreams About Night Things
12. Let My Love Be Your Pillow
13. (I'm A) Stand by My Woman Man
14. Stranger Things Have Happened
15. My First Ride
Bottom
1. She Loves My Car (Wikipedia says it was a b-side but there was a horrible video that aired on MTV , so Im counting it)
2. Button Off My Shirt
3. Where Do the Nights Go
4. Make No Mistake, She's Mine
5. Local Girls (I remember being so disappointed Ronnie got back on a major label and chose THIS as the song to promote it)

5. Local Girls (I remember being so disappointed Ronnie got back on a major label and chose THIS as the song to promote it) While I agree about the song choice being a bad one ("You Don't Know My Love" would have been better but it was released second and did nothing), I really don't think any song he would released that spring of 2006 would have gone top 40. "Local Girls" only got added to about 20-25 stations, so that signaled to me that country radio was more or less giving him some curiosity, but nothing to threatened with a significant chart run. |

Local girls was just....odd. "Somewhere Dry" from that album was stellar! |

I vividly remember WYRK putting "Local Girls" in their "New Country Battle" and Ronnie got destroyed like 70% to 30% to "Leave The Pieces" by the Wreckers. |
