Garth of course makes the list, and more than likely returns as we near the top. This song is so incredibly loved still for about a thousand reasons. It was near the beginning for him and this timeless classic is a song that will be played on the radio for 25 more years. And what makes this song so important is that it solidified a new artist (I know sounds funny) as a legit hit maker. It was his second single and his first #1 song, and put the album, Garth Brooks on a path to sell 10 million copies, and of course on the trail to becoming the biggest selling artist on the planet. This song speaks to everyone, is simply a vulnerable work of art that everyone can relate too. Garth co-wrote this gem, and for some reason we don't think of him a great songwriter, but he was. After his debut single, Much Too Young, a rodeo story song, this was the perfect follow-up, and is about a perfect country song. Will hje be be back on this list? We're getting to the heavyweights now, so stand by.
