ALAN JACKSON  TOPS THE 40 GREATEST COUNTRY SONGS OF THE DECADE!
   CMT (Country Music Television), has announced the GREATEST SONGS of the DECADE and ALAN JACKSON topped that list with "WHERE WERE YOU (When The World Stopped Turning)". A song Alan was inspired to write after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.  Alan debuted the song on the 2001 CMA awards and it was the Number 1 song for 5 weeks in 2002. And went on to result in a grammy for Alan.   
   Here is the list from CMT that lists the TOP 40 GREATEST SONGS OF THE DECADE:

1. "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)," Alan Jackson
2. "Hurt," Johnny Cash
3. "Whiskey Lullaby," Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss
4. "Jesus, Take the Wheel," Carrie Underwood
5. "Courtesy of the Red, White And Blue (The Angry American)," Toby Keith
6. "The Good Stuff," Kenny Chesney
7. "Live Like You Were Dying," Tim McGraw
8. "You Belong With Me," Taylor Swift
9. "I Hope You Dance," Lee Ann Womack
10. "Need You Now," Lady Antebellum
11. "The House That Built Me," Miranda Lambert
12. "Bless the Broken Road," Rascal Flatts
13. "There Goes My Life," Kenny Chesney
14. "Breathe," Faith Hill
15. "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett
16. "Somebody Like You," Keith Urban
17. "Redneck Woman," Gretchen Wilson
18. "Give It Away," George Strait
19. "Red Dirt Road," Brooks & Dunn
20. "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow," Soggy Bottom Boys
21. "Drive (For Daddy Gene)," Alan Jackson
22. "Chicken Fried," Zac Brown Band
23. "Beer for My Horses," Toby Keith and Willie Nelson
24. "You're Gonna Miss This," Trace Adkins
25. "Before He Cheats," Carrie Underwood
26. "Three Wooden Crosses," Randy Travis
27. "Our Song," Taylor Swift
28. "She's Country," Jason Aldean
29. "Austin," Blake Shelton
30. "Then," Brad Paisley
31. "What Hurts The Most," Rascal Flatts
32. "Forever and for Always," Shania Twain
33. "Cowboy Take Me Away," Dixie Chicks
34. "Like We Never Loved at All," Faith Hill and Tim McGraw
35. "Believe," Brooks & Dunn
36. "Come a Little Closer," Dierks Bentley
37. "Stay," Sugarland
38. "Days Go By," Keith Urban
39. "In Color," Jamey Johnson
40. "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)," Big & Rich 

  What do YOU think about this list?   I, for one think there should be more BROOKS & DUNN songs and at least a couple from REBA.   I have no idea how CMT came up with their calculations for this list.  It definitely is not based on airplay or record sales.   
   What songs would you like to see on this list that did not make it?
