In the pantheon of country music? I celebrate his entire catalogue. I would put him around number 9 in the official rankings.
Where does Tim McGraw stand
- Thread starter DaBadass
- Start date
Just heard that new version of “Cowboy in Me” from Yellowstone. Dear Lord, if you’ve ever had marital issues that song hits home.
I would bump him up to number 8 if you consider Faith part of his catalogue.
Solid pick up. Though he can be nauseating at times with the whole nobody's ever been in love like Faith and I shtick
He definitely has some bangers. Please Remember Me and She's My Kind of Rain are personal favorites.
Good, very very good. Not top 10. Been to his concert, it was awesome and well worth the $$$. The soldier song was unforgettable. George Strait & Keith Whitley, IMO the 2 goats(subjective I know).
Turn the radio every time he comes on now. Will never forgive him for the pregame concert in NOLA and wearing that LSU jacket.
Tim McGraw is barely sniffing the top 25 in the history of country music 🤦♂️
regardless of where he hits on the overall list, i love me some tim mcgraw.
Maybe you’ll change your mind in your next 30 years
He’s not bad, but top 10 is a stretch. You’ve got George Strait, Alan Jackson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Hank Jr, Toby Keith, Don Williams, Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, Randy Travis, Vince Gill, Kenny Rogers, Conway Twitty, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Marty Robbins, Hank Snow, Ronnie Milsap, Oak Ridge Boys, Statler Brothers, Keith Whitley, Ray Price, Eddie Arnold, Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, and so on & so on.
Tim McGraw is good, but all time???? Not close.
Tim McGraw is good, but all time???? Not close.
Hank Jr, Toby Keith, Vince Gill, oak ridge boys, Kenny Chesnesney, Hank snow are all instantly disqualified.
Explanation? Even if you take them out there’s 20 people better than McGraw, and I didn’t even list Don Williams or Tom T Hall. Or Roy Clark. 🤷🏼♂️😎
Buck Owens is great but I would argue that’s a different genre. That’s more western
If you think that’s the best country song you’ve ever heard, there’s no way I can change your mind LOL 😂😂😂
Roy Clark was a badass DaBadass. I’ll agree, probably not on McGraws level though 🤷🏼♂️😎
Yeah but they’re two different genres. You have country music which more influenced by Appalachian music and western music which is influenced by Tejana music.
Most of what we listen to on the East coat is country music. Some of the popular “western” artists are more like Dwight Yoakam or Steve Earle

i like Stapleton but think he’s a little bit of try hard on the vocals. He’s like a country version of a black pop singer singing the national anthem on every song. Church is really good.
I like Brad Paisley too, & a lot of his songs, but I have a few friends that are in the Nashville song writing scene & I’ve been told Brad is an asshole. No personal verification by me, just what I was told 🤷🏼♂️
This and Cowboy in Me. That version from Yellowstone was the tits.
