    Second hardest vote for me in the country battle. Merle was probably a bit more influential and a way better songwriter. But Waylon's vocals and outlaw sound is my favorite country music ever recorded.

    @swaye you're breaking my heart here voting against Waylon.

    I remember listening to Mama Tried and Fightin' Side of Me as a young kid headed to the deer lease with one of my Dad's every weekend growing up. I can't shake that. Merle is in my bones. Only thing I heard more was Willie. I think I will have Whiskey River played at my funeral. That or Fade to Black. Or both.

    Both of those Merle songs are phenomenal. Perhaps my most favorite Merle lyric is from Are the Good Times Really Over?

    "I wish Coke was still Cola and a joint was a bad place to be".

    Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas,
    With Waylon and Willie and the boys.
    This successful life we're living,
    Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys.
    Between Hank Williams' pain songs,
    An Newberry's train songs,
    An' "Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain",
    Out in Luckenbach, Texas,
    Ain't nobody feeling no pain.

    Hell of a voice

    The only two things in life that make it worth living are guitars tuned good and firm feeling women.

    Merle is good but a little boring and overrated. Waylon is the fucking man.
