    The 70's was when country was loosing the bonds of the Nashville sound and formula

    Gotta go Waylon for his part in bringing outlaw country to the rock n roll kids. Nice meld. And he was in the Crickets

    But country always wants to go back to formula.

    Waylon's biography is the stuff of legend.

    He survived the day the music died. Told Nashville to FO and won bigly.

    King George can't touch Waylon's achievements. Come at me bro @Tequilla
    So you're giving Waylon credit for giving up a seat on a flight?

    Waylon's great ... King George kicks his ass in every other manner not pertaining to drug use

    Waylon giving Nashville the middle finger and gaining control over his own sound and spawning the outlaw genre >>>> King George's being the leader of the neo-traditionalist country movement.

    All for giving Nashville the middle finger … diversity in anything is great

    Waylon’s great … you can argue that his high points are as high as anybody

    I’ll give tons of credit when it comes to intangibles like sphere of influence … I won’t give credit for intangibles like huge substance abuse issues making someone a legend … in the case of Waylon it’s impossible to not say that his demons had a negative impact on his career

    We’re likely splitting hairs here as anybody that doesn’t have both on a Top 10 GOAT list is probably idiotic

    I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
    That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads

    I'm fine with King George in the top 10.

    Waylon's hard living is part of what made him a legend. The rock star lifestyle ozees into so many of the songs and gives them soul.
