AT LONG LAST, WELCOME TO THE 1991 COUNTRY RANKDOWN!
I decided to change things up a bit and go back into the early 90s with the breakouts of Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio, Brooks & Dunn, Pam Tillis, Aaron Tippin, Hal Ketchum, Billy Dean, and Mike Reid.

The following songs are not available on at least one of these streaming services:

Rob Crosby - Love Will Bring Her Around
Rob Crosby - She's a Natural (original studio recording isn't on streaming)

...and all four of Garth's songs ("The Thunder Rolls", "Unanswered Prayers", "Two of a Kind, Workin' on a Full House", and "Rodeo"); too lazy to dig those up as you'll only be able to find karaoke covers online. ;)
Although this list isn't numbered, I'll do the counting for you: there are a total of 122 songs!. I tried to cap it at 120, but I found a few inconsistencies between one of my playlists and my spreadsheet. I also have a collection of bonus songs that almost made the rankdown that I plan on mentioning and some of these cuts were quite painful if you ask me.

If you're unfamiliar with how rankdowns go, rank these songs from #1 (your favorite) to #122 (your least favorite) and PM them to me (@/cjashby75) by the deadline, which is malleable for the time being on JUNE 21. Given how huge this list is, there will more than likely be an extension, but I'll do this in a gradual fashion. I really hope y'all can find enough time to do this...
P.S. Feel free to send in an additional list of extra country songs from 1991 (charted or not) if you'd like.
