One song that comes to mind: George Strait - "Ocean Front Property." Hands down my favorite GS song, plus the fact that I can't think of any others at the moment. Will add to this, at some point...

Just for sabre14: Let us bookend the 1980s by revealing the first and last charts of the decade, shall we? The first #1 of the decade belongs to Kenny Rogers with Coward Of The County. That came from his 1979 album called Kenny. The first single, You Decorated My Life hit #1 country, #7 pop, and #2 adult contemporary. The final single, Coward Of The County was released in November, 1979 and climbed all the way to the top in January, 1980. It also hit #3 pop and #5 A.C.. 1980 was a very good year for Rogers. In December, Billboard named him the #1 country and #1 pop artist of the year. The final chart topper of the decade belongs to Ronnie Milsap. His A Woman In Love became his 35th and final #1. That came from Stranger Things Have Happened album. Lead single, Don't You Ever Get Tired Of Hurting Me kicked off his 1989 on a chart topping note. Houston Solution peaked at #4.

Just for sabre14 : Let us bookend the 1980s by revealing the first and last charts of the decade, shall we? The first #1 of the decade belongs to Kenny Rogers with Coward Of The County. That came from his 1979 album called Kenny. The first single, You Decorated My Life hit #1 country, #7 pop, and #2 adult contemporary. The final single, Coward Of The County was released in November, 1979 and climbed all the way to the top in January, 1980. It also hit #3 pop and #5 A.C.. 1980 was a very good year for Rogers. In December, Billboard named him the #1 country and #1 pop artist of the year. The final chart topper of the decade belongs to Ronnie Milsap. His A Woman In Love became his 35th and final #1. That came from Stranger Things Have Happened album. Lead single, Don't You Ever Get Tired Of Hurting Me kicked off his 1989 on a chart topping note. Houston Solution peaked at #4. A Woman In Love was released in September and climbed all the way to the top in December. 1990 was started with the title track, his third and final #2 hit. Rogers and Milsap had a #1 duet in 1987 called Make No Mistake, She's Mine.

Yes Forester Sisters had some good songs. But I only have their last few albums "I Got a Date," "More than I Am" and "Talking About Men" and they are all terrific.
They seem to change their direction with "Men." They used to be very synth-pop-country and they changed direction with "Men"when they went for a rootiser sound. "Talking About Men" is a stellar album, but I was disappointed they didn't have more big hits with it.
Dolly Parton, Anne Murray, Crystal Gayle and Lee Greenwood also changed to a more "country" sound in the late 80s to early 90s, and they did release some gems. Anne Murray's "You Will" was beyond excellent. And I did love Lee Greenwood's "Holding a Good Hand." He also eleased "A Perfect 10" in the late 80s or was it 90s? The songs were A+ rated.
I didn't get into country music until long after all of these great artists were dropped by their labels. If I were only alive and listening to them in their heydays rather than in hindsight, it would be great!
