Classic Country

Okay… who is sick of hearing the same 20 songs over and over on the radio? The radio is not the only one that’s guilty of it either… all countdowns day after day are the same!! I am personally a fan of Country Classics and Legends, listening to those songs over and over will never get old to me, this is why I listen to my IPod 95% of the time and the other 5% is me listening to my radio or a countdown but only if I have to. On a local radio station in my hometown has a Classic Country section on Sunday nights from 7 to 10. I think this is a great idea to focus more on what everyone likes and will all around attract more listeners is they broaden what they play. I like the oldies but goodies but I also like to pull out my IPod and listen to a playlist from when I was younger, so these songs are not classics yet but they are still older. I think it would be a real hit if there was a radio station that played songs 5 years old and older, this means no new songs being overplayed and we can finally here the songs we grew up on that we haven’t heard in years!! I put together a list of artists that I would love to hear their older songs played on the radio:

1. Billy Ray Cyrus
2. Chris Ledux
3. Billy Dean
4. Hank Williams Jr & Sr
5. Andy Griggs
6. Dwight Yoakam
7. George Jones
8. Clint Black
9. Travis Tritt
10. Tracy Lawrence

I’m sure my list could go on forever but these are my top ten oldies by goodies!
