Willie Nelson. I know a lot of people don't like him but he is definately an country music man. I don't know which of these hits were from the 70s or 80s but I'm including as many of his hits as I can. Vote for your fav please!:)

I went with "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys." I like the original by Ed Bruce better. ;)

Had to vote for "other" in this poll. I really never could stand Willie's voice so the only song I could tolerate from him was his duet with Julio Iglesias, "To All The Girls I've Loved Before"!!!

I sort of like Willie Nelson. I always sing along to Georgia on my mind, so that got my vote.

I love Willie!! All these songs are great, his version of the classic Roy Acuff song "Blue eyes crying in the rain" is my favorite from this list.

I actually can't tolerate him, either, Triv.... The songs are good, I just don't like his voice. He has a new one out with LeeAnn Womack, 'Mendocino County Line', and I think my ears will fall off if I have to hear it a third time.....

So, I had to go with 'Other', because as much as I don't like his singing, the song 'Seven Spanish Angels', done with Ray Charles, is a favorite of mine...

That one I did debate putting on here but didn't since it was a duet. Good pick though Val. That's a beautiful song!:)

I'm with Triv on this one. I would go for "To all the girls I've loved before". Even though it wasn't a solo effort.

No doubt Nelson was a talented artist, but he still had a bloody awful singing voice! :lol:

I definitely agree with you there....wonder why it never got more airplay? Or at least it didn't on my local country stations. Beautiful song!

While not a big Willie fan, I did gain a degree of respect for the man when he put on a 3 hr concert close to my hometown. Not a lot of artists will give you that much these days. BTW, my favorite if "Always On My Mind".

I can agree there! When he was here last summer, it was dang close to three hours or more! Everytime he would start to leave, someone would yell out a request and he would do it. He also "took his time"...chatted with us and acted like he was having fun too. That goes a long way !@

On the Road Again was my favourite Willie Nelson song

Ever heard the version by Wayne Rondstadt?
