I'm with geographygal. But I'm kicking myself over King of the Road. Why no Conway Twitty or Glen Campbell?!?! Shocked about Waylon Jennings' percent right.

Yes, and George Jones. How can you do a country quiz without The Possum? Can't believe I missed Haggard.

No Kenny Rogers? The Gambler, Lucille and Coward of the County are epic songs.

I happen to be shocked that a few aren't on here... Brad Paisley, Skynyrd, Bette Midler with Wind Beneath my wings, this quiz needs to be expanded

Skynyrd is a rock band, not country. The only thing remotely close to country they did was a rock song about a Southern state. And Bette Midler? Are you kidding me??? She's probably only been to the country on vacations

I can sort of understand Skynyrd - they are Southern rock, but Bette Midler??? I like her a lot, but you probably couldn't find a singer who is less country unless you looked on Broadway or at the opera and I don't mean Opry. I just got a picture of Renata Tebaldi in cowboy boots and a fringed outfit stuck in my head. "The Divine Miss M" is not a WSM regular. I don't mean to be ugly, but it ain't the quiz that needs expanding.

Bette Midler? Would never in a million years consider her even remotely close to country-adjacent. Pretty much the equivalent of being disappointed with Michael Buble's non-inclusion in a gangster rap genre quiz.

I can get everything on the right hand column, but my country music knowledge dies out at about the turn of the century.

I did very poorly. Not surprising as I don't like songs about green big tractors.

Not to be annoying or anything, but I agree with MasterKenobi

Country music is so, so much more that big green tractors

Maybe if you listen to the lowest common denominator radio fodder. Check out Zach Bryan, Jason Isbell, Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Townes Van Zandt, Jason Molina - some of the best songwriters of all time come from country music. A lot of the older stuff is fantastic, too, even of just the ones on this quiz Wichita Lineman, Jolene, and He Stopped Loving Her Today are near universally acclaimed as among the best written songs ever.

Can you do a version of this that includes more recent country songs? Also Lady Antebellum goes by Lady A now, so that could be a type-in.

No surprise there. She's an American treasure with broad appeal well beyond country music fans due to her charity work and just being a generous, open-hearted, loving person.

If you're British, naming all the country singers you've ever heard of might not get you very far. (I love Dolly Parton.)

Not to nitpick but Waylon's version was released in 71 and although popular, the song didn't hit it big until he recorded it as a "live" song with Willie. I wonder is "Okie From Muskogee" would pull up Merle's numbers. That has to be his best known song especially to non country music people.
