Martina McBride - "God's Will" (as much as I crap on Martina's "issue songs", this was one I didn't really have any problems with. I think the fact tat it wasn't a belt fest and actually made some attempt to humanize Will helped)
Lonestar - "Mountains" (really only a couple cheesy lines like "bacon, eggs, and tears" and "them dang ol' hills", but the rest of the song makes up for it)
Bucky Covington - "I'll Walk" (nuff said)

Collin Raye - "Quitters", "One Boy, One Girl", "Not That Different", etc. (no one loves Collin Raye's music more than I do, but by God could he get sappy)
George Jones - "Hi-Tech Redneck"
Lonestar - "Mountains", "I'm Already There", "My Front Porch Lookin' In"
Loretta Lynn - "Love L-O-V-E" (and probably 90% of songs that involve spelling out the letters of a word, Joe Diffie's "C-O-U-N-T-R-Y" is another example)
Martina McBride - "God's Will" (a lot of people consider this one of the worst songs in recent memory due to it being incredibly cloying, and I admit it kinda is, but it works for me)
Ricochet - "Daddy's Money"
Tim McGraw - "Down on the Farm", "Renegade", "That's Just Me", "It Don't Get Any Countrier Than This" (Tim McGraw could get extremely cheesy early in his career, especially on album cuts)
And to be honest, while I think roughly half of '90s mainstream country is amazing and timeless, the lyrics and/or production of the other half comes off as cheesy to me (see many songs by Neal McCoy, Joe Diffie, John Michael Montgomery, Little Texas, Mark Wills, etc.), although mostly in a positive, endearing way I'm quite nostalgic for.
Also, many of Brad Paisley's "funny" songs (although corny might be a better word than cheesy).

George Jones - "Hi-Tech Redneck" OMG yes. I still listen to this song lol! This album overall was actually pretty good as well. And although I'm not quite a fan of the song, I think more than a few like "Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)" 😉
